21、We will all probably know both some introverts （内向的人）and extroverts （外向的人）in life, and yet we can gain a wrong impression about both types of people. For example, some introverts can be extremely confident and they can be able people. However, some extroverts aren’t as confident as they'd like to appear to be and often try to hide their true identities behind a false appearance.

Shyness can affect both introverts and extroverts and anybody else too. It can be very debilitating （使衰弱的）and, if severe, can have a huge negative influence upon our ability to form meaningful relationships and it can also affect our careers or jobs.

A lot of people feel shy because they have low self-respect and feel unworthy when comparing themselves to others. They find it difficult to communicate with others whom they don't know. In that case, one of the best ways of overcoming the shyness is to focus the attention on the other person instead. Shy people can try changing people's focus on someone else， so that they don't need to talk about themselves too much.

If you recognize that you are shy and see that as a lion in the way of enjoying your life. you should first overcome it by accepting that it's causing a problem for you. Trying getting into conversations with strangers is helpful. Shy people are challenging themselves and over- coming their shyness. In this way, shy people can get their own self-respect. Each time they do it, this will be repeated until they feel confident enough.

Like any negative thought， determination can also help you beat shyness and having a positive attitude is the key to overcoming the shyness.

A．Do sports as much as they can.

B．Listen to the voice in their heart.

22、   While car sharing is a concept that’s catching on, old-fashioned carpooling where a group of people take turns driving each other to work has always faced a resistance (抗拒）. In a study on traffic problems by ABC News, 84% of those who drive to work say that they still do it alone. More than half of those lone riders insist that carpooling is just too inconvenient, and 18% say they simply don’t know anyone to share a ride with.

Now technology makes carpooling easier and more fun. NuRide, a company provided an online carpooling service last year, offers daily travelers in the Washington area not just a web-based list of would-be carpoolers but also a way to arrange a trip online. Here，s how it works: rider seekers enter the positions where their trip will begin and end, the time they want to leave and if they’re willing to drive or just ride in someone else’s car. The website’s search engine then looks for matches and makes lists of the names of traveling companions, along with the car model and the exact time and place to meet for each trip. People who want to share the ride can show their interest in joining in online and then meet their car mates when it’s time to go.

NuRide users aren’t riding with total strangers. They are required to provide the name of their employer and a work e-mail address，both of which need to be checked before being listed on the website.

To attract users, NuRide offers a frequent rider prize: anyone who shares a ride gets a $1 credit. So far, 2, 300 people have signed up. NuRide GEO Rick Steele said that more than 50, 000 rides have been arranged on the website, resulting in 1.4 million fewer miles driven and 650 fewer tons of automobile emissions (排放).

【1】What has the study found about drivers' opinions on carpooling?

A.Many think it is inconvenient.

B.84%of them accept the idea.

C.Some consider it dangerous.

D.18%of them drive to work alone.

【2】What can NuRide do for its users?

A.Decide car models for them.

B.Help them arrange a shared cart trip.

C.Give them a list of car owners.

D.Find out their car mates' true names.

【3】What information is a NuRide user asked to provide?

A.His age. B.His home address.

C.His hobbies. D.His employer's name.

【4】It can be inferred that NuRide has helped in _________.

A.improving air quality

B.increasing job opportunities

C.promoting driving safety

D.making people know each other

23、   HOW BIG should a business team be?It is an enormously important issue for companies, Teams that are too small may lack the skills required to get the job done:teams that are too big may be impossible to co-ordinate.

Robin Dunbar.an anthropologist at Oxford University,has done a lot of work on primate(灵长目）groups.His argument is that the size of the group is linked to the size of the brain.With their large brains,humans can cope with larger bands,A larger social group has many advantages,allowing for greater protection and specialization.

Whereas 150 is sometimes referred to as the"Dunbar number",the academic himself in fact refers to a range of figures.He observes that humans tend to have five intimate friends,15 or so good friends,around 50 social friends and 150-odd acquaintances.

Running a larger network can be difficult.The armed forces have spent more than 1,000 years experimenting with unit size.A Roman centurion(百天长）oversaw 100.The modern American army company has 180 members.Britain's equivalent numbers 120.These are rough estimates,rather than fixed figures.But it is striking that many group activities seem to be close to a Dunbar number. The Special Air Service of Britain has four-man patrols;when your life depends on it,you need to have absolute trust in your colleagues.As a result,such groups are limited in size.

For much of economic history,work was conducted in small units by peasants,tenant farmers and craftsmen.The coming of powered machinery enabled production at a much larger scale,with workers crowded into factories.These days the rise of the service economy means that workers are no longer concentrated in such large groups.

This may not be a bad thing.It was easy for employees in large factories to regard remote company owners as "them"rather than"us".The modern company may settle on a model with a small group of"core"workers and a larger group of contract workers.The result may be more united within the core staff but the non-core staff may be less well treated.The small core teams may work effectively.The big question will be the effect on morale of those outside those teams.

【1】What does the first paragraph serve as in the whole article?

A.An example of the topic,

B.An introduction to the topic,

C.A guide to the whole article,

D.No relation to the passage at all.

【2】What does the underlined"This"in the last paragraph refer to?

A.Workers crowded into factories

B.'These days the service economy has risen.

C.Workers are no longer concentrated in such large groups.

D.Employees regard company owners as"them"rather than"us".

【3】What is probably the best model for a company according to the author?

A.A large group of exact 150 workers.

B.A small group of less than 15 core workers.

C.A small group of peasants and a large group of factory workers.

D.A small group of efficient workers and more contract workers.

【4】What is the main purpose of writing the text?

A.To offer companies some useful advice.

B.To introduce us the most suitable size of teams.

C.To arouse the readers' interest in Robin Dunbar.

D.To persuade companies to adopt the"Dunbar number".

24、Simply Unmissable: Most Beautiful Places in Sicily

Taormina

If you want a true taste of pleasure and luxury, Taormina is the perfect destination for it. You’ll find rows of shops and first-class restaurants with a backdrop of sweeping views of Mount Etna. The whole town feels more modern compared to the medieval winding roads and broken castles in the surrounding cities, but Taormina has breathtaking ruins to see as well. The Greek theater ruins are a must-see, and there is Greek-influenced architecture everywhere you look.

Palermo

Palermo is Sicily’s capital city, a historically important trade port that was taken over by many of the surrounding countries throughout history. You can look for the signs of Sicily’s past conquerors in the present-day architecture. The Palermo Cathedral, with Romanesque, Baroque, Gothic and Modern influences, is a great example of competing architectural styles within one building. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, head to the Catacombs of the Capuchins, where 8000 dead bodies between the 17th and 19th centuries are on display.

Mount Etna

A trip to Sicily’s east coast wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Mount Etna. It looks extremely impressive from afar, but there are plenty of ways to enjoy Europe’s largest active volcano up-close as well. Take a cable-car to the top, explore the dramatic valleys and be amazed at the lava flows. In the winter, you can also ski down with a glass of Etna Rosso, a wine that’s made in this area. The grapes are grown in volcanic soil, resulting in bright and red wines.

【1】What can you probably find in Taormina?

A．Broken castles.

B．Amazing ruins.

C．Active volcanoes.

D．Unique wines.

B．Shops and restaurants.

C．Volcano and wines.
