This kind of robot will also be fun to watch.But robot scientist James White disagrees. He thinks that it will be3for a robot to do the same things as a person. For example, its easy for a child to4and know where he or she is. Mr White thinks that robots wont be able to do this. But other scientists disagree. They think that robots will be able to talk to people.525 to 50 years.Robot scientists are not just trying to make robots look like people. For example, there are already robots 6in factories.

If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 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 shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older 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, 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 conversation. And dont forget-if you are shy, you are not the only one.（1）What is the passage mainly about?A . Happiness.B . Shyness.C . Kindness.D . Loneliness.（2）What does the underlined word “genetic” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A . Passed down from parents.B . Learned from friendsC . Taught by teachers.D . Made up by brothers.（3）Which one is not the reason of shyness according to the scientists ideas?A . Genetics.B . Family size.C . Failure.D . Birthplace.（4）What can you do if you want to get over your shyness?A . Try to know why you are shy.B . Talk to your parents and blame them.C . Try to learn some social skills.D . Try new things and practice conversation.18. （10分） “Whats the matter, mum?” When I came home yesterday, I found my mother was unhappy.
