II 阅读理解
Passage 1
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. What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of
impression am I making?” (Para. 1)
A. Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.
B. People’s shyness make them care too much about their appearance
and actions.
C. It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.
D. Shy people think they are different from others.
2. According to the writer, self-awareness is _______.
A. a good quality B. the cause of unhappiness
C. harmful to people D. a weak point of shy people
3. That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is _______.
A. good B. unreal C. very reasonable D.
harmful
4. Which of the following statements is true, according to the
passage?
A. Shyness helps us to develop our potential.
B. Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better.
C. Shyness can block our chances for a rich life.
D. Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem.
5. It can be inferred from the passage that shy people _______.
A. should find more of their weakness
B. should understand themselves in the right way
C. had better ignore their weakness
D. can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteem
Passage 2
Every day, the news of the world is relayed to people by over 300
million copies of daily papers, over 400 million radio sets, and
over 150 million television sets. Additional news is shown by motion
pictures, in theatres and cinemas all over the world. As more people
learn what the important events of the day are, fewer are still
concerned exclusively with the events of their own household. As the
English writer John Donne put it, nearly four hundred years ago, "no
man is an island." This idea is more appropriate today than it was
when Donne lived. In short, wherever he lives, a man belongs to some
society; and we are becoming more and more aware that whatever
happens in one particular society affects, somehow, the life and
destiny(命运) of all humanity.
Newspapers have been published in the modern world for about four
hundred years. Most of the newspapers printed today are read in
Europe and North America. However, soon they may be read in all
parts of the world, thanks to the new inventions that are changing
the techniques of newspaper publi |
