【题目】 Whenever I look at this photo, I think of an afternoon fishing with my grandfather. My grandfather loves fishing. When I was young, he tried to get my brother and me excited about it. "It's a wonderful way to spend the afternoon together," he told us. Every Saturday he asked us to go with him. At first we would, but fishing seemed so boring to us. Finally, we told him that fishing wasn't our thing. After that, he would go alone, One Saturday afternoon not long ago, I changed my mind and decided to go with him. I thought that maybe I would enjoy fishing more now that a few years have passed. So down to the water we went. We got in the water, threw the line, and waited. After three hours, all we had was a single tiny fish.

"Grandpawhy do you like standing out here for hours like this?" I asked. "You've done nothing all afternoon!"

“Well." he said. "When I was a boy, fishing wasn't 'nothing". In fact, it was everything. I didn't have TV video games or smart phones, so I fished. Now, when I fish. I go back to being that boy. It was a happy time."

This photo really changed how I saw my grandfather. I don't just see a quiet older man, but rather somebody who has seen many changes and has had many experiences. Right after I look the picture. Grandpa felt a strong pull on his line. In a second, the two of us were trying hard to bring the biggest fish I had ever seen! It was really exciting. From then on. I went fishing with him whenever I could.

【题目】 Are you shy? If you are. you are not alone. In fact, close lo 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 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 studied said children. They found that 66 percent of them had elder brothers and sisters. The scientists said that these children were often bullied by their elder 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 (以色列),only one of three people said so. What 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 (责备)themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, 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 you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversations. And don't forget if you are shy. You are not the only one.
