13、fects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.

20、（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.Questions 20 to 24 are based on the following passage. Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness “for a great many people.

25、 with lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. For example, most people would like to be “A“ students in every subject.

44、ulation. This prosperity period may continue to rise and rise without an apparent end. However, a time coms when this phase reaches a peak and stops spiraling upwards.
