注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
The condition characterized by lack of basic human needs as a result of the inability to afford them is called absolute poverty (绝对贫困). The “needs” in this case range from drinking water and shelter to basic health care and education. Being different from absolute poverty, relative (相对的) poverty refers to people who have limited access to resources (资源) compared with others in society.
The most obvious effects of poverty include health problems, homelessness and a lack of education. A couple of these effects, like health problems and a lack of education, can also worsen conditions.
A person living in poverty can’t afford daily bread at times, let alone think about health-related spending. In the same way, a person who isn’t in the best of health will find it difficult to work and earn his daily bread. Thus, poverty and poor health form a vicious circle (恶性循环).
Poor health due to poor economic conditions is not limited to physical disorders alone. Poor people are more likely to suffer from diseases, which can push them into severer poverty, including a range of mental illnesses which hinder (妨碍) a person’s ability to work.
Most people below the poverty line can’t afford proper habitation, and thus, have no choice, but to “sleep rough”. More than 100 million people are homeless in the world today, with some sources suggesting that the number is far greater than 300 million.
While children living in absolute poverty can’t afford basic education, those in relative poverty are forced to drop out halfway due to their lack of ability to pay fees for further education or as a result of having to take family responsibilities (责任). The relationship between poverty and education also works the other way round, with lack of education being one of the most important causes of poverty in the world.
The effects of poverty on a child’s development are seen in the classroom, most often in the form of low self-respect. Children from well-to-do families dress better which can bring about a feeling of inferiority (自卑) in children living in poverty. Poverty leads to social differences, causing poor children to get away from the learning environments and exhibit behavior that is against society, thus making poverty one of the most serious social problems we are facing today.

At some time in your life, have you ever said “I have butterflies in my stomach”? Maybe you haven’t because you don’t use that idiom but for sure you have already experienced being shy, avoiding eye contact, sweaty palms (手掌), a racing heart and a red face.
Being shy is indeed one of the feelings that you don’t want to constantly (经常地) feel. Shyness is normal and it isn’t considered as a mental problem. All people have been shy at one time or another. Studies show that around 20% of people in the whole world are shy. And this number continues to increase. Therefore, if you’re feeling shy, don’t worry, because you are not alone. However, if your shyness has become too much to deal with and it is affecting your life, then maybe there is really something wrong.
You probably are wondering why you are shy. It may be because of the environment you were used to or the way you were brought up. Certain events in the past may also contribute to your shyness now. But in most cases, shyness proves to be hereditary. If one person has shy parents and relatives, then it isn’t surprising that he has become a shy person.
One of the negative (负面的) sides of being shy is having the tendency to be passive (消极的). Most of the time shy people can’t stand up for what they believe is right; thus they just sit in a corner and let everything happen even if it is against their will.
Shy people are also too shy to have the confidence to let themselves shine and show other people what they can do. Shy people have a tendency to avoid crowds and stay away from social communications. This negatively influences their social life, work, family and other aspects of their life.
While shyness has negative aspects, it also has a positive side. Shy people are naturally good observers and don’t get themselves into too much trouble because they try to observe and examine their situation before taking some actions. They are not impulsive (冲动的) and think twice before making any decision.
Shy people can be great friends. Because they have difficulty in the social scene and making friends seems to be quite a task for them, they value their friends wholeheartedly and will try hard to build up the relationship.
Although shyness is hereditary, it can be improved over time. Some shy people who have shy parents have successfully overcome their shyness by developing their self-respect and trying to expose (暴露) themselves to new environments. Overcoming shyness isn’t about suddenly thinking you’re great. It’s more about forgetting yourself and focusing on the outside world. The point here is that by focusing on putting other people at their ease, you’ll find that you feel much more comfortable. In addition, notice who seems a little more shy or anxious and work to help them, and you will feel more relaxed.
