根据短文判断下面句子的正确(T)与错误(F) 。

     Are you too nervous to work out the problem when your teacher asks you to come to the blackboard? If

your answer is "yes", you get really shy.

     Shyness means feeling frightened when you're the center of attention (注意力). In fact, everybody gets a

little shy sometimes, even the great people in history. When Thomas Edison was young, he loved Shakespeare (莎士比亚) very much. He wanted to act in his play. But he was too shy. He didn't know what to do when

there were people around. Later, he had to give up. But shyness didn't stop him from becoming a great inventor.

     Some experts say shy people are cleverer because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at

working with others because they think more for other people. Most people have red faces and talk in broken

sentences (语句支离) when they get shy. It isn't a very big problem. But some become so shy that they can't

do the things they want to do. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person. Here are some good ways to make

you braver (勇敢).

     ●Tell people you are shy. This can make others understand you better and help you easier in talks.

     ●Try to smile more. People think you are friendly and easy to talk to when you smile.

     ●Learn to be a good talker. Begin your talk with saying something nice about people around you. It's very

helpful for keeping your talk.

     ● Put your attention somewhere else. Think more about ways to enjoy the party or the game. Don't waste

time worrying about your looks or whether people like you or not.

( )1. Sometimes everyone gets a little shy.                                                           

( )2. Thomas Edison became a great inventor because he never felt shy.                                

( )3. This passage (短文)  didn't say if Shakespeare was shy.                                         

( )4. Some experts say that shy people are cleverer than others.                                      

( )5. Shy people can't work well with others.                                                         

( )6. Some people are too shy to do what they want to do.                                             

( )7. If you are a shy person, you should let people know this when you talk to them.                 

( )8. To begin a talk, you'd better say something good about yourself. This can help you feel less shy.

( )9. At a party, you should think more about whether people like you or not.                         

( )10. You can find some good ways to make you braver from the passage.

There is a joke among flu researchers: “If you've seen one flu season, you've seen one flu season.” The joke is about the unpredictable nature of the flu virus. Every year it looks different, and every strain (类型) follows its own pattern — it's the reason why new strains like H1N1 are extremely difficult to predict.

Dr. Michael Osterholm is a former adviser to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. “I know less about influenza today than I did 10 years ago,” he says in a joking way. “Every stone we've turned over, we get more questions.”

The flu rectums every season and the world experiences terrible pandemics (全国或全世界范围流行的疾病), but researchers still do not understand why some strains infect people and others do not; they are not entirely sure about how the flu is transmitted; nor do they understand why some patients become seriously ill while others develop mild symptoms (症状). As a result, when a new strain shows up — like H1N1 — they often have little information to fall back on, and the lessons of previous pandemics are only somewhat helpful. While researchers are still putting together a complete picture of H1N1, for example, its most striking difference with the seasonal flu is that the elder1y are not the most vulnerable (易受攻击的) population.

Influenza's unpredictable nature makes it a moving target for researchers, says researcher Allison Aiello at the University of Michigan. “Even if we had complete seasonal flu data from the past, it wouldn't be much helpful for a new strain of influenza,” she explains.

Whi1e researchers are frustrated by the holes in their knowledge, they say, however, that the pub1ic--health community is generally doing a very good job responding to H1N1 with seasonal flu data that do exist. Studying influenza, says Osterholm, is “like looking through the windows of a house you can't get into because the door is locked.” Gathering the data researchers do have is like “looking through the windows to get a pretty good picture of what the inside looks like.”

One thing researchers do know for sure: the best way for people to protect against H1N1 is to get the vaccine once it becomes available to them.
