Are you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 50 percent of people are sty. Almost 30 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 shy? 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 be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studies 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 not 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 people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failures. 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, such as family, teachers, friends, or had 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 a job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And don't forget-if you are shy, you are not the only one.
70. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Happiness. B. Shyness. C. Kindness. D. Loneliness.
71. What does the underlined word "genetic" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Passed down from parents. B. Learned from friends.
C. Taught by teachers. D. Made up by brothers.
72. What can be learned from the passage?
A. Most little babies are born shy and quiet.*
B. If you are shy now, you will be shy forever.
C. Many shy children have older brothers and sisters.
D. Most Israeli people are shy of expressing opinions.
73. We can learn from the passage that_______ may cause shyness.
A. genetics, grow-ups and birthplace
B. genetics, family size and birthplace
C. family size, grow-ups and birthplace
D. genetics, grow-ups and freedom
74. Scientists suggest that shy people can get over their shyness by_______.

Emojis（表情符号）have become truly popular in recent years. In 2015, Oxford Dictionaries even chose an emoji as its word of the year. So, what exactly are emojis?
Emojis are little pictures used for expressing ideas, feelings and emotions. They are often seen in text messages or on the internet. The first emoji was created by a Japanese engineer in 1999. He named the little picture “emoji”. The name is made up of two Japanese words: “e” and “moji”. “e'” means "picture” and “moji” means "character”.
Now, there are emojis for almost everything, such as food, sports and animals. These emojis are widely used in everyday life. Believe it or not, there are over six billion emojis being sent every day!
So, why do people use emojis? When we talk, a lot of meaning is conveyed through our body language. However, the meaning can get lost in written language. With emojis, people are able to express such meaning even when they can't see each other. Besides, people use emojis when they find it hard to explain or describe something in words.
Many people see emojis as the language of the future. Are you ready to learn this new language skill?

My summer holiday
In my summer holiday, I had classes every day. I not only had English class once a day, but also I had maths classes twice a day. Although I felt tired, I enriched my knowledge and achieved much progress as well. Studying hard makes me happy. Meanwhile, I deeply know that “The body is the capital of revolution”. Therefore, besides study, I play sports every day. Such as swimming, running and playing badminton. Sports made me stronger and healthier. I think my summer holiday is both meaningful and colourful.
