Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that shyness is sometimes genetic(遗传的).
Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists found that 66 percent of shy children had older brothers or sisters. At the same time, children with no brothers or 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. Scientists found surprising differences about shyness in different countries. In Japan, most people said they were shy.

But what's the cause? Many think it is the media(媒体). Turn on the TV and you'll _____ see beautiful models, handsome actors and fit sports stars. Open a magazine or a newspaper, look through the Internet, and it's usually the same.
Many young people feel pressure to _____ these “perfect” people. But for most, this is just not possible. In the USA, the average(平均的) woman is 163 cm tall and weighs 64 kilos, _____ the average model is 180 cm tall and weighs 53 kilos.
When people don't look the way many _____ people look, they may become less confident. Some stop eating properly in order to lose weight. Students can lose so much _____ that they start to stop taking part in classroom activities at school.
Body image problems don't _____ as we get older, either. In the UK, for example, women over 50 spend more money on makeup products than any other age group. Older men spend large amounts of money trying to _____ losing hair.
Is there a solution _____ the problem? A 2016 study in the UK suggested that body image lessons be provided in ______. Others believe that it's a problem which all of society needs to deal with. As Meaghan Ramsey says, “We need to judge(判断) people by what they do, not what they look like.”
