2、l near my mothers house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food.

3、into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them. One day, I talked to a neighbour and found out that my mum was well-known in the

4、area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me why wouldnt she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out? When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug. I told her she didnt need to keep it a secret

5、 from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved by how selfless she was. She helped others i

Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common

9、. 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. Interestingl

10、y, 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 shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result, they beca

11、me 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

12、 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 failure. In Japan, when people do not succeed, the

13、y 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 wo

14、rry 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.

19、 back in 2010. Id just moved to New York City after getting a new job in a company.

20、 as if I belonged there somehow. Sure, it wasnt my dream job, but moving to the city was the first step.The company was growing fast. Every week it brought new co-workers; most of them were around my age. In my first week, I met Gino in the office kitchen. Hed just started a week earlier. I hoped we

DMore and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, such teaching tools as iPad

27、s are used in a lot of courses, including language, history and science.Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom. Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching vi

28、deos, students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion. The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however,

29、might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different paces. The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to l

30、earn (such as listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative. There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find. Some s

31、tudents spend more time studying now. “I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home,” a student explained. Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads
