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

International Day of Friendship
Good friends are really important for our happiness. They share good times with us — we have f 1 together, laugh together and they make us smile. But good friends are also there for us when things aren’t so great. They listen to us, help us and s 2 us through difficult times.
A good friend is always there for you, whatever happens. They don’t judge（评价） you — they accept you and respect you for who you are. You can be y 3 when you’re around them. A good friend is kind and honest and isn’t afraid to tell you the truth, even if it’s difficult. You enjoy spending time together and maybe share some
h 4 or interests.
Friendship is so important that, in 2011, the United Nations decided to make a
s 5 day for it! The International Day of Friendship takes place on 30 July every year. The idea is that friendship between different groups of people, c 6 and cultures can help us live more peacefully together.
The International Day of Friendship on 30 July is not the o 7 day celebrating friendship around the world. Some countries celebrate on different days. For example, Argentina, Brazil and Spain celebrate Friend’s Day on 20 July, and in India and the USA, they celebrate it on the first Sunday in August. In Finland and Estonia, people celebrate Friendship Day on the s 8 day as Valentine’s Day, 14 February.
The main aim of the International Day of Friendship is to show your friends that you care about them and that you value their f 9 . You could make a card or write a note telling them why they’re such a great friend. You could make them a small p 10 , such as a friendship bracelet（手镯）, or bake a cake for them. Whatever you do on this day, it’s a time to have fun and celebrate with friends, and perhaps make some new ones! Happy International Day of Friendship!
