He was one of the rudest (粗鲁的) people in the world. The whole village was tired of him; he was always unhappy; he was always complaining (抱怨) and was always in a bad mood (情绪). When people tried to cheer him up, he would rudely turn them away.The longer he lived, the more bad-tempered he became. People stayed away from him because his bad mood was contagious (传染性的). It was even unusual and impolite to feel happy around him. By behaving like this, he made the rest of the village feel unhappy as well.But one day, the day he turned 80 years old, in fact—an unbelievable thing happened. The villagers said among themselves:“The old man is happy today. He hasn’t complained about anything, he is smiling, and his faced looks kind.”The whole village went to see the old man. One of the villagers asked the old man, “What happened to you?”“Nothing special has happened, in fact,” the man said. “For 80 years I’ve been looking for happiness, and it was no use. And then I decided to live without happiness and just enjoy life. That’s why I’m happy now.”It is important to realize that your mood can affect (影响) the moods of those around you.Everyone has bad days sometimes.

Since then, another 17astronauts have reached for the stars. Do you dream of being an astronaut? How did they do it?In space, changes in the environment and loneliness test the minds and bodies of astronauts. So, the training (训练) for astronauts is very hard. “Astronauts take over 200 different training subjects before going to space,” Huang Weifen, chief designer of the astronaut system for China’s manned space project, told CCTV News. These include science and mental health (心理健康) classes.The most tiring one is underwater training. Astronauts stay under the water in clothes heavier than 100 kilograms for six hours at a time. The heavy clothes make every move hard. “An astronaut once said he lost two kilograms after one underwater exercise,” said Huang. Each astronaut does training for at least three and a half years before getting the chance to go to space.New chances for allThis year, China is finding new people to be the fourth group of astronauts. The first and second groups of Chinese astronauts were all from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force (中国人民解放军空军). However, in the third group, civilians (平民/非军人) could also become astronauts. They are experts (专家) and can do science studies in space. They don’t need to have “perfect (完美的)” bodies like pilot astronauts (航天驾驶员).9. What do we know about Yang Liwei from Paragraph 1?A. He was the first Chinese astronaut to go into space.B.

In fact, about 50 percent of people are shy, Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some points in their lives. Now, scientists have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.②Scientists say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. Scientists believe some shyness is genetic (遗传的).③Family size may be another factor. Scientists at Harvard University found 66 percent of shy children hadolder brothers and sisters. These children were often bullied (欺负) by their brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. However, children with no brothers or sisters can be shy, too. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. It’s hard for them to develop social skills as children from big families.④ You may also be shy because of your birthplace. In Japan, most people are shy. But in Israel (以色列), only one third of people are. In Japan, when people fail, they blame (责备) themselves. In Israel, people often blame other things, such as family, friends, or bad luck.⑤ For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job.
