Don’t be too picky (挑剔的) about food.Some food may not be tasty,but our body needs it.
Don’t keep too much food at home,especially fruit and vegetables.

On July 2,1937,Amelia Earhart ( an American pilot) and Fred Noonan left New Guinea for Howland Island in the Pacific.ITiis was the longest and most dangerous part of their t 1 around the world.Earhart had trouble soon after the plane took off.The weather was very bad,so she had to f 2 at 3,000 metres.Going this high,the plane used fuel quickly.
After about 20 h 3 ，Earhart and Noonan got close to Howland Island.The island was o 4 about 65 miles (英里) away,but the bright sun was shining in their faces so they couldn’t see it. Near Howland,a ship was w 5 for the plane.Earhart contacted the ship:“We don't have enough fuel”’she said.The ship tried to stay in touch with her b 6 got no answer.Finally,the ship called for help. People looked for Earhart and Noonan for days. However,they found nothing.
What happened to Amelia Earhart? No one knows for sure. D 7 the flight,she probably moved in the wrong direction (方向) because the sun was bright and it was d 8 to see.So she got lost;soon after,her plane ran out of fuel,and she died al sea.Another idea is that she survived (幸存) the plane crash (飞机失事) ,s 9 to a lonely island,and later died there.Still others think she survived the crash and secretly returned to the U.S. with a new identity (身份) .
Till now,none of these i 10 has been proved.People are still wondering about them. (Noonan's body has never been found either.) No matter what happened,Earhart probably died as she wished. “When I go”’she said ,“I'd like best to go in my plane."

Passage 5 (2015 浙江杭州，C)
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 tiying 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 qui?eter and more watchful than other babies.Interestingly,these shy ba?bies 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. The scientists said that these children were often bullied (欺侮) by their older brothers and sislers. 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 bom. When scientists studied shyness in different countries,they found surprising differences.InJapan,most people said they were shy.But inIsrael,only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of fail?ure. InJapan,when people do not succeed,they feel bad about them?selves.They blame ( 责备) themselves for their failure. InIsrael,the opposite is true.Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons,such as family,teachers,friends,or bad luck.InIsrael,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 conversa?tion. And don't 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 friends.

3. What can be learned from the passage?
A. Most little babies are horn shy and quiet.
B. If you are shy now,you will be shy forever.
