26、Researchers have found that most shy children, even the most painfully shy of them, are not shy adults. The process from shy to outgoing does not require treatment, behavior modification or any extraordinary measures. It just happens.

Most shy kids grow out of their shyness by their young adult years, and even those who do not get rid of it manage to cope with it reasonably well. They learn how to hide it, mostly because they realize that shyness puts them at a disadvantage in certain situations.

I myself am a living example to the transformation. I was socially awkward until I went to college where I tried out for the role of a lead singer in a rock band and suddenly found myself on stage with four musicians behind me and hundreds of people in front of me. My social awkwardness didn’t go away until I was forced to make a choice between shyness or being a campus rock star. That’s a no-brainer for an 18-year-old. I had to cure myself of my lifelong shyness, and I did.

But this article is not really about childhood shyness. It’s about the distinction between a child’s personality and behavior. Personality is just like a surface upon which an artist begins a painting. If the artist doesn’t like the way his painting is progressing, he can paint over what he’s done, but the surface remains as it was at the beginning—a constant.

Though personality (the surface)doesn’t change, behavior (what one puts on top of the surface) can be changed. So, returning to my personal example, I forced myself to overcome shyness, but my closest friends don’t even know that I’m still the same shy person. My behavior has changed, however. Who changed it? Me!

Likewise, as research has found, a child comes into the world with a fairly set personality. He is born more or less to be shy or outgoing. His behavior, however, can change.

【1】Why can most shy kids grow out of shyness?

A．They get medical treatment.

B．They are taught how to hide it.

C．They consider shyness to be awkward.

D．They are aware of its unfavorable effects.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “no-brainer” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．A careless choice.

B．A stupid person.

C．An easy decision.

D．A shy teenager.

【3】In Paragraph 4, the author presents his viewpoint by ________.

A．describing a mathematical constant

B．sharing his own personal experience

C．comparing the transformation to painting.

D．giving the definitions of personality and behavior

【4】What does the author mainly want to tell us in this article?

A．A child is born with a fairly set personality.

B．Friends play a key role in overcoming shyness.

C．A child’s personality and behavior are different.

D．Kids can overcome shyness by changing behavior.

27、   Decorating your walls with artwork, photos, and other interesting items that reflect your personality and style is one of the most fun things about having a home. You can do anything you want, and you can change it up at any time if you want a new look!

But the downside? Sometimes, especially when it comes to mounting larger items like big framed pictures or shelves, it is rough on your walls. And when you move things around, you are left staring at some distracting, ugly holes from nails.

Filling in nail holes can be annoying chore, especially if you don’t have (or just don’t feel like getting out) the paint. But thanks to crayons(蜡笔), which have proven themselves useful in making both colorful home accents and other crayons, you can now do a quick fix of smaller holes in only a few minutes. Here’s how.

Materials:

Crayon. Make sure it’s a close match to your wall color.

Instructions:

Press the crayon in the hole, breaking off some of the wax inside

Rub until smooth

If needed, blend the wax with your finger to smooth.

That’s it! It’s easy but really works!

【1】What can we leave some holes on the wall?

A．Other interesting items that show your interest

B．Photos

C．Artwork

D．Nails

【2】Give the right order when you are filling in nail holes .

a. Blend the wax with finger

b. Press the crayon into the hole

c. Rub until smooth

d. Break off some wax inside

A．b. d. c.a.

B．a. b .c. d.

C．b. c. a. b

D．a. c. b. d

【3】What is Not the disadvantage when you want to have a new look?

A．There are ugly holes from nails.

B．The wall is rough.

C．The colors of the wall are different.

D．There is no disadvantage.

28、   Do you sometimes find yourself drawing random patterns and designs during meetings and lectures? Some people believe it shows you aren't listening or paying attention. However, there are studies which claim the opposite(相反的)，and that doodling(乱涂乱画)might actually be beneficial.

Doodling seems to be everywhere. In the past it was seen as a mindless activity and a product of the absent-minded. However, in 2016, an article on the Harvard University website discussed the idea that random drawings may assist memory-keeping and concentration.

The article stressed that 26 of 44 American presidents were known to doodle, with Ronald Reagan famous for drawing cowboys. A 2009 study conducted by psychologist Jackie Andrade asked 40 people to listen to a "dull and confusing' voice message. Half of the group were asked to doodle and shade in a picture. Those who did were able to recall 29% more of the information contained in the message.

Some experts believe that accepting your creative and artistic sides during meetings may help you to concentrate. Jesse Prinz, a famous professor of philosophy, actively encourages his students to doodle. And it might not just be good for your concentration. An artist now as Mr Doodle has made a career out of his scribbles(涂鸦).He sells his art online and also goes to people's homes to decorate their walls.

It seems that random drawing to aid concentration might be becoming more of a thing. People like Sunni Brown, an advocate for doodling, teach adults how to scribble in the workplace. So,the next time you see someone randomly drawing pictures during a meeting, it might be a sign that they are listening more than you think.

【1】What's the common belief about doodling?

A.A chance to show one's creativity.

B.A sign of being absent-minded.

C.A way to communicate effectively.

D.An approach to improving memory.

【2】Why are American presidents mentioned in paragraph 3?

A.To arouse people's interest in the study.

B.To encourage the public to draw everywhere.

C.To introduce more studies about doodling.

D.To make the new finding more convincing,

【3】How are the benefits of doodling proved in paragraph 4?

A.By giving examples. B.By comparing opinions.

C.By listing numbers. D.By analyzing facts.

【4】Which section of a website is the text most likely from?

A.Health. B.Research. C.Culture. D.Education.

29、There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington D.C. has the National Gallery of Art (美术馆); Paris has the Louvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.

FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don’t have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone.

You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically (采用电子手段) by artists in their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.

Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work.

A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs (软盘), to others to see on their computers. He could also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures in paper, the computer artist needed an expensive laser (激光) printer.

Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr. Shostak says the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists will enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.

A．floppy discs
