But the good news is, youˈre 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 youˈre around other people or in a new situation. ▲ Scientists say such things as genetics, 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 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 practising 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 takes 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 youˈre 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 youˈre shy. If youˈre 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, youˈre 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 practise at a time. Start simply. For example, smile or be the first person to say hi. Choose skills you feel comfortable enough with to practise for a day, a week, a month, or even a year. 11.Which of the following can be put in the blank ▲ in paragraph 2? A. What is shyness? B. What makes people shy? C. Can shyness be good for us? D. Can we overcome shyness? 12.The example of Gilbert in paragraph 4 is given to ________. A. show how people overcome shyness B. introduce a shy girl called Gilbert C. explain the steps of overcoming shyness D. tell the right time to practise smiling 13.What does the underlined word “overnight” in paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Correctly. B. Suddenly. C. Slowly. D. Finally. 14.Which of the following is the right way to overcome shyness? A. Donˈt let others know that you are shy. B. Wait for others to say hello to you first. C. Choose several skills to practise at a time. D. Get ready before you join in a social situation. 15.The main purpose of the passage is to tell us ________. A. what shyness is B. why people are shy C. how to overcome shyness D. what kind of persons will be shy B Vicky is a pretty young woman. She comes from a rich and famous family.
