【解析】
【1】句意：——杨小姐在哪里？——看，她正在和那边的学生谈话。Look引起大家的注意，是现在进行时的标志词，其构成为am/is/are + doing，主语she是第三人称单数形式，助动词用is，故答案为is talking。
【2】句意：他是个欧洲人，但汉语讲得很好。不定冠词a后跟可数名词的单数形式，故答案为European。
【3】句意：丹尼尔·笛福写的《鲁滨逊漂流记》在我市青少年中被广泛地阅读。动词read要由副词来修饰，故答案widely。
【4】句意：我祖母病了，必须马上派遣一名医生过来。主语A doctor与动词词组send for之间是被动的关系，此句是含有情态动词的被动语态，由“情态动词+be+过去分词”构成，故答案为be sent。
【5】句意：19岁的发明家伊斯顿·拉查普利通过一台3D打印机开发大部分零件，制造了一个手臂。不定冠词a后跟可数名词的单数形式，复合形容词19-year-old修饰这一名词，故答案为inventor。
【题目】Normally people have various feelings. Shyness(害羞) is one of them. It means feeling frightened when you are around other people. Some children were born shy. Some become very shy later because of life experience. In fact, everyone gets a little shy sometimes. It depends on how shy you are. If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a big problem.
Scientists say that shyness generally begins during childhood. Most of the time, shyness is caused by people’s worry about what other people think of them, so shy people often find it very difficult to meet new people. This fear has bad effects on their work life, social life and love life. The following suggestions may be helpful for shy people.
Find ways to relax when you go out .When you are old enough, consider drinking a glass of wine before going out for the night. Talk with your friend or family member to help yourself calm down.
Look best when you go out. Wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. Listen carefully when people speak. Shy people sometimes think that meeting new people means having to do a lot of talking. You can ask simple questions and then be a good listener. People love to feel like other people are listening to them and sharing their point of view.
Build your confidence and change your attitude(态度) towards meeting new people instead of worrying about how they will think of you, and think about what are good points you hope to find in the new person you will meet.
Try these suggestions if you do feel very shy. Hopefully you can enjoy your life better.

What do you think being beauty really means? All answers to that question are correct, because there are no right or wrong replies. Despite(不管) what society tries to make us believe, there is no “ideal” beauty. There are exact standards—hair colour, or eye colour—that make someone beautiful. Think about it: did you consider someone to be really beautiful, but your friend didn’t see it? That’s because what’s attractive to one person isn’t necessarily going to be attractive to another. So how can we believe that there’s a standard for beauty? It makes no sense.
Weight-loss companies and clothing industries seem to have made it their goal to get us believe that we are not enough and that we need all kinds of things to be prettier. It’s not true! Companies sell us this ideas for their products to make money. I’m not saying that buying beauty products is bad, but what would be bad is using them because you feel like you have to look a certain way in order to be “beautiful”.
Remember, the people wear tons of make-up and are photoshopped in order to look perfect. When you see a girl who society considers as a “great body”, you have to remember that people have different body types and everyone’s body is different. We’re all beautiful, whether we’re slim, thickset or anywhere in between. If you want to lose weight, go ahead, but do it in a healthy way and do it for the right reason—not because you want to fit in. Being comfortable with yourself is really important, and being with others who accept you as you are and don’t ask you to change to look a specific(特定的) way is important too.
