6．How terrible the traffic accident was! .you are safe now．That's a comfort to us．( )A．BesidesB．A——青夏教育精英家教网—

4．Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people．Shy people are anxious and self-conscious； that is，they are over concerned with their own appearance and actions．Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds：what kind of impression am I making？Do they like me？Do I sound stupid？Am I wearing unattractive clothes？
It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably．A person's self concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions．In general，the way people think about themselves has a deep affect on all areas of their lives．Shy people，have low self-esteem（自尊），are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others．They need reassurance that they are doing"the right thing"．Shy people are very sensitive to criticism．It makes them feel inferior（自卑）．They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise．A shy person may respond to praise with a statement like this one："You're just saying that to make me feel good．I know it's not true．"It is clear that，while self-awareness is a healthy quality，overdoing it is harmful．Can shyness be completely got rid of，or at least reduced？Fortunately，people can overcome shyness with determination．It is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths，for example，not fair for them to label themselves inferior because they have to be realistic．Living on the impossible leads to absence of inferiority．Each one of us has his or her own characteristics．We are interested in our own personal ways．The better we understand ourselves，the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and fulfilling life．

3．Why should mankind explore space？Why should money，time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits？Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth？These are questions that，understandably，are very often asked．
Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings．What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains，and on into all possible areas and environments？The wider the spread of a species，the better its chance of survival．Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible．
Nearly every successful civilization has explored，because by doing so，any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for．Without knowledge，we may be completely destroyed by the danger．With knowledge，we can lessen its effects．
Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found．Even if we have no immediate need of them，they will perhaps be useful later．Resources may be more than physical possessions．Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration．The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives．We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction，in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems．Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products of technological developments in the space industry!
While many resources are spent on what seems a small return，the exploration of space allows creative，brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us．While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works，it also holds dangers．The danger exists，but knowledge can help human being to survive．Without the ability to reach out across space，the chance to save ourselves might not exist．
While Earth is the only planet known to support life，surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets．It is true that the lifestyle would be different，but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future．
29．Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph l？B
A．To express his doubts．
B．To introduce points for discussion．
C．To compare different ideas．
D．To describe the conditions on Earth．
30．What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2？A
A．Humans are nature-born to do so．
B．Humans have the tendency to fight．
C．Humans may find new sources of food．
D．Humans don't like to stay in the same place．
31．The underlined word"spin-offs"in Paragraph 4 probably refers toC．
A．survival chances
B．potential resources
C．unexpected benefits
D．physical possessions
32．What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets'？B
A．Our genetic makeup．
B．The adaptive ability of'humans．
C．Resources on the earth．
D．By-products in space exploration．

1．You wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time．Then the telephone rings，you say hello，and the drama starts．The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to．You are still in a wonderful mood？Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness．It may not change what you think but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time．Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer．They only feel glad when they make others feel bad．No wonder they can hardly win others'pity or respect．When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted．When the dagger（匕首） of a negative person is put in you，you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down．
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people．This could be a co-worker，or a relative．In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible．Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person，but all this is to lower you to that same negative level and they won't feel ashamed of themselves about that．
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized．The negative words of  another at the start of the day can cling to（附着） you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness．Life is too short to feel negative．Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible．

A．show our dissatisfaction to negative people

C．change negative people's attitudes to life
D．make negative people feel ashamed of themselves．
