A
Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions.
Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes? It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person's conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.
Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing "the right thing." Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, "You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true." It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.
Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let's not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.
1、The first paragraph is mainly about _______.
A．the cause of shyness B．the feeling of shy people
C．the effect of shyness on people D．the question in the minds of shy people
2、According to the writer, self-awareness is__________.
A．Harmful to people B．a healthy quality
C．The cause of unhappiness D．a weak point of shy people
3、What is the shy people’s reaction to praise?
A．They are pleased by it. B．They feel they are worthy of it.
C．They are very sensitive to it. D．They feel it is not true.
4、What we can learn from the passage is that shyness can _______.
A．be overcome with determination
B．help us to live up to our full development
C．enable us to understand ourselves better
D．have nothing to do with lack of self- respect\

B
Sometimes we experience pain that seems just too big to feel, too frightening to face - it looks like a tsunami. So, we run. My tsunami came when I was nine years old.
I was woken up by my mother’s screams - “Bob? Bob?! BOB!” I ran to my parents’ bedroom. My father was on all fours, unconscious. My mother was crazy - desperately trying to figure out how to stop what was happening. I ran to the phone - 9-1-1, the neighbors, anyone - “help us!” Soon rescue came, but my father didn’t come back to life.
When my friends came to comfort me, I remember “pulling myself together” as I walked toward them, determining to show them that I was fine.
The more I denied my pain, the more I was praised by the adults around me-”Oh, look how strong she is!” So, I kept saying “I’m fine.” Over and over and over. I said it enough - performed it enough - that I even fooled myself. I believed that I was okay.
But pain doesn’t just “go away” - that whole “time heals” thing is a total crock. 30 years after my father died, when I looked around for an explanation for all the years of destructive behavior, I couldn’t find the root of the pain in my life because I had covered it up so well. All the “I’m fine” - 30 years of them - buried the pain of that nine years old girl.
Her pain had been trying to come out, to be heard, to be healed.
And, finally, it was.
After years of treatment, I found my way back to that night where the pain started, back to the tsunami. This time, I didn’t run. It hurt - it still hurts - but now, when it hurts, I let the pain come. Fm not scared to say, “I’m not fine” - because I know, eventually, I will be.
1、What did the author do when her father was in danger?
A．She ran out to look for rescue. B．She kept calm and asked for help.
C．She offered first aid to him at once. D．She was too afraid to do anything.
2、Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “crock” in Paragraph 5?
A．fact B．theory
C．experiment D．lie
3、Why was the author praised?
A．She behaved politely.
B．She seemed to be confident.
C．She could look after herself.
D．She could handle the blow properly.
4、What lesson can we get from the author’s experience?
A．Hiding our pain can be harmful.
B．Expressing pain is not very easy.
C．Being strong means hiding one’s pain.
D．Children are good at covering up their pain.
