If you are, you are not alone. In f
53、act, close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.Is it possible to be born s
54、hy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic.Family size might cause people to
55、 be shy too. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are n
56、ot able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries, they found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three said so. Wha
57、t explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons,
58、such as family, teachers, friends, or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk-taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy. For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say y
59、ou can get over shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And dont forget-if you are shy, you are not the only one._第二节 应用文写作(满分25分)假如你叫李华，是一位中学生。最近你校要举行以“关爱健康”为主题的英语演讲比赛，请根据话题内容谈谈你的看法，写一篇100词左右的演讲稿。包括以下要点：1.保持健康的重要性；2.保持健康的方法，如:多锻炼，健身强体；多吃水果、蔬菜，保持饮食平衡;鄙弃不良习惯等。注意：1. 词数100左
