[1] I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra (額外的) help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools.

[2] My life improved greatly when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually became good at making things with clay. Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language, I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence（自信）came along.

[3] I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. （68）I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it needed lots of practice. So I did it more.

Shyness can be an unhappy feeling. But the good news is, you're not alone. Scientists say that more than 40 percent of teenagers and adults consider themselves shy. Shyness is feeling a little nervous or as if you want to hide when you're around other people or in a new situation.

___ Scientists say such things as genetics（遺傳基因）， life experiences， and environment can influence whether a person is shy. For example, in some families, everybody seems to be shy.

What happens if you are shy? Well, being shy may cause you to avoid or miss opportunities you would enjoy.

How do people overcome (克服)shyness? This is what Gilbert tells us. "When I started off trying to get over being shy, I decided to do little steps at a time, including practicing smiling and saying hi to people. And it worked for me. “

But shyness is not the kind of thing that most people can get over overnight. Overcoming shyness take time and needs practice.

Here are some tips given by scientists.

Think of what to talk about before you leave home. Prepare things to talk about before you're in a social situation. For example, if you know your classmates are interested in an upcoming event, learn about it so you can join in the conversations.

Let people know you're shy. If you're shy, just show it. Instead of letting people guess, tell them the truth. Explain that you are shy and feel nervous but enjoy talking to people.

Make things easy for the other person. Remember, you’re not the only shy person around. Do what you think might help others feel good-for example, say hello or smile.

Pick one social skill to practice at a time. Start simply. For example, smile or be the first person to say hi. Choose skills you feel comfortable enough with to practice for a day, a week, a month, or even a year.

1.Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph2?

A. What is shyness?

B. What makes people shy?

C. Can shyness be good for us?

D. Can we overcome shyness?

2.The example of Gilbert in Paragraph 4 is given to _____.

A. show how people overcome shyness

B. introduce a shy girl called Gilbert

C. tell the right time to practice smiling

D. explain the steps of overcoming shyness

3.What does the underlined word "overnight" in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?

A. Correctly.

B. Suddenly.

C. Slowly.

D. Finally.

4.Which of the following is the right way to overcome shyness?

A. Don’t let others know that you are shy.

B. Wait for others to say hello to you first.

C. Choose several skills to practice at a time.

D. Get ready before you join in a social situation.

1.B 2.A 3.B 4.D 【解析】含羞會(huì)給人們帶來不愉快的感受，科學(xué)家認(rèn)為遺傳基因、生活經(jīng)歷和環(huán)境等因素會(huì)影響一個(gè)人是否害羞�？朔π咝枰粋�(gè)漫長(zhǎng)的過程，短文給出了一些克服害羞的方法與建議。 1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的句子“Scientists say such things as genetics（遺傳基因），life experiences，and en...
