As a shy and thin girl，I used to be quite afraid of speaking in the public. But my parents and teachers always encourage me to do so. Now I have changed great. In class，I am often the first one to stand up and answer questions even if I may take some mistakes. No pains，no gains. Now I am always brave enough overcome the difficulty in my heart and have changed in a lively girl. So my experience shows that we should not be afraid of losing face but only in this way can we make progresses.

21. BEIJING, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- China's economic planning agency Thursday announced a rise in minimum rice purchase prices this year to encourage farmers to grow more grain.
A statement on the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) website said the government would continue the policy of minimum purchase prices in major ricegrowing regions in 2011.
The rises in the minimum rice purchase price had been approved by the State Council, China's Cabinet, said the statement.
The purchase prices for japonica rice will rise 21.9 percent to 128 yuan (19.4 U.S. dollars) per 50 kilograms, while prices for early and middle-late rice will increase 9.7 percent and 10.3 percent to 102 yuan and 107 yuan per 50 kg respectively.

22. 阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
         Don't worry, be happy and, according to new research, you will also be healthy. It is estimated that over the course of one year, Americans suffer 1 billion colds. But new research shows that all it may take to avoid this common affliction is a positive and upbeat attitude.
         People who are energetic, happy and relaxed are less likely to catch a cold than those who are depressed, nervous or angry, finds a new study published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine. Healthy volunteers first underwent an emotional assessment in which they were asked to rate their tendency to experience positive and negative emotions--how often they felt pleased, relaxed, happy, or anxious, depressed and hostile. The subjects were next given a squirt up the nose of a rhinovirus, the nasty little germ that causes colds.
         Researchers then watched the volunteers to see who came down with a cold and waited to see how the unlucky ill manifested their cold symptoms. "We found that people who regularly experience positive emotions, when exposed to rhinovirus, are ly protected from developing illness," said Dr. Sheldon Cohen, lead author of the study and a psychology professor at Carnegie Mellon University." Increases in positive emotional styles were linked with decreases in the rate of clinical colds, but a negative emotional style had no effect on whether or not people got sick," Cohen said.
         So how can your emotions influence your health? In simple terms, when the brain is "happy" it sends messages to our organs that help keep the body healthy and sound." It's like a drug that is released by your state of mind and simply changing the state of mind can produce effects on the rest of the body through the nervous system and hormones," said Dr. Neil Shulman, associate professor of medicine at Emory University School of Medicine and author of Doc Hollywood. "Your chance of developing the common cold, pneumonia, or even cancer may very well be decreased by keeping your brain in a healthy state."
         In addition, happy and relaxed people tend to better health practices than their negative and stressed counterparts. They are more likely to get plenty of sleep and to engage in regular exercise, and have been shown to have lower levels of certain stress hormones.
63. By saying " American suffer 1 billion colds." the writer means that________________
A. America has a population of at least 1 billion.
B. Americans tend to suffer colds because they live in cold areas.
C. The cold is a very common illness in America

A. positive people show a greater resistance to colds.
B. negative people necessarily get sick more often.
C. the alternative emotional styles have effect on whether or not people get sick
D. positive people have stronger immune functions than negative ones
65. According to the passage, people are advised___________________
A. to get plenty of sleep.
B. to engage in regular exercise.
C. to stay positive against getting ill
D. to wear heavy clothes in cold seasons
66. Which is the best possible title of the passage?
A. The more happier, the fewer colds.
B. The more depressed, the more colds.
C. Americans suffer more colds.
D. People with positive emotions are happier.
