问题     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．Worrying 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 uncomfortable feelings must affect people．A person’s self- concept 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 inferiority．They also find it difficult to be pleased by praise because they believe they are not worthy of praise．A shy person may respond to praise with a statement like this:"You are 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 effort in building self-confidence．Since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accepttheir weakness as well as their strengths．For example, most people would like to be "A"student in every subject．It is not fair for them to label themselves inferior because they have difficulty in some areas．People’s expectations of themselves must be realistic． Living on the impossible leads to a sense of inadequacy．
    Each of us is a unique, worthwhile individual．We are interested in our own personal ways．The better we understand ourselves，the easier it becomes to live up to our potential．Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life．
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
选项 A、Shyness helps us to live up to our full potential．
B、Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better．
C、Shyness blocks our chances to a rich life
D、Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem．
答案C
解析 细节题。由文章最后一句“Let’ s, not allow shyness to block our-chances for a rich and fulfilling life．”可知，腼腆会阻挡我们迈向富裕生活、实现自 我之路，从四个选项来看，只有[C]选项的表述与此一致，因此应选择[C]选项。其他选项中的表述与文章内容相反，由第一段可知，腼腆的人总 是在为自己的行为举止担心，这种缺乏自信的担心对他们生活的方方面 面产生影响，包括不能正确理解自己，由此可知，[B]选项与文章表述相 矛盾，再结合最后一段中“The better we understand ourselves，the easier it becomes to live up to our potential．”可以推断出，[A]选项也与文章相背； 由第四段中“Since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self-esteem”可知， [D]选项的表述与文章相反。
