8 . What will humans look like in the future? It sounds like a cool question, but the answer may not be that fun.

A team from Toll Free Forwarding, a US company, built a 3D model of what a human might look like in the year 3000. Her name is Mindy. She looks a little bit scary. The company said the model showed how technology (科技) will change human bodies in less than 800 years.

For example, Mindy’s hands look like she is always holding a cellphone. That’s called “text claw”, according to the team. Mindy also has a much wider neck. It’s called “tech neck”. It’s from looking down at the phone for too long. Muscles (肌肉) in our necks need to be stronger to hold our heads.

Mindy also has another eyelid (眼皮). It can protect the eyes from the blue light of the screens. Her skull (头骨) is thicker. It protects the brain from the radiation (辐射) of computers and phones. Technology is so helpful that humans think less. That’s why humans may also have smaller brains in the future.

Will you spend less time on your computer and cellphone after seeing this scary model?

1. What do we know about the 3D model in Paragraph 2?

A．It is made for a girl named Mindy.

B．It comes from the year 3000.

C．People might feel afraid after seeing it.

D．People will need it to live longer.

2. According to Paragraph 3, people might ________.

A．have no fingers	B．have a text claw
C．have bigger heads	D．have no muscles

3. Why does Mindy have a thicker skull?

A．To better support her head.

B．To protect her eyes from blue light.

C．To help her grow another eyelid.

D．To protect her brain from radiation.

4. When people do less thinking in the future, their brains might become ________.

A．smaller

B．bigger

C．stronger

D．thicker

5. Which could be the best title for this passage?

A．Finding answers to some cool questions.

B．What humans may look like in the future.

C．Making 3D models for different people.

D．How Mindy will live her life in the future.

10 . Are you shy? 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 (遗传的).

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. The scientists said that these children were often bullied (欺侮) by their 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, 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.

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 don’t forget if you are shy, you are not the only one.

1. What can be learned from the passage?
