How do you feel when you have to make a speech in front of class? What about when you go to a birthday party? Do you get really shy?
Shyness means feeling nervous or afraid when you’re around other people. Experts have found that more than 80% of middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention. Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences(经历).
It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just a case of how much.
Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.
If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are cleverer because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. Some great people in history were shy, too.
You see, being shy isn’t all bad. But remember not to let good opportunities(机会) pass by just because of it! If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practice your spoken English in front of others, just do it! There’s nothing to be afraid of.
小题1:The underlined phrase “to feel yourself again” in the third paragraph means “________”.
A．感受生活B．恢复过来C．玩得开心D．寻求帮助
小题2:What kind of shyness can be bad according to the passage?
A．You find it hard to enjoy yourself at a party.
B．You feel a little nervous when you go to a new place.
C．You seldom go outside, afraid of meeting new people.
D．You have a red face when you’re asked to answer a question in class.
小题3:If you have to practice your spoken English in class, ________.
A．just do it
B．just refuse to do it
C．you’d better ask someone to help you
D．tell your teacher you’re too shy to do that
小题4:We can infer(推断)from the passage that_________.
A．kids are all born shy
B．you can’t change yourself
C．shy people can also be successful
D．shy people are not good at working others
小题5:What’s the best title for this passage?

　　In English－as in any other language －we do not always say what we mean or mean what we say．This is true of some of the things we say every day．For example, “How do you do?” “How are you?” This is what people say on meeting．Sometimes they stop and shake hands．“How are you?” looks like a question．It is written with a question mark(问号)after it．And sometimes “How are you?” is a question．One person may want to know if another is well or ill－how his health is－and so on．

　　When these are questions, they are almost always said as if(好像)the person who says them wants an answer．

　　But most of the time they are said in a way which does not ask for any answer．When these words are said so, we do not answer “I am tired, ” or “I have a bad cold,” or “I am not well．” We say the same thing back to the other person．“How are you?” or “Hello”．Such words are like a smile or a wave of the hand．

　　In the same way, when we meet someone in the morning we may say “Good morning!” The weather may be very bad but we say “Good morning!” and the other person will say “Good morning” back to us．We are not talking about the weather or about how good or bad the morning is．

　　Again, when people are parting(分手), they may say “Good morning!” or “Good afternoon!” or “Good evening!” or “Good night!” to one another instead of “Good-bye!” They are not talking about the weather but saying “May all be well with you at this time!”

　　You will find few people today who know that “Good -bye!” is a short way of saying “God be with you”．(上帝保佑你)．But in past times, when religion(宗教)had more place than it now has in education, a child could be taught this very young as part of his knowledge of English．

(1)

When most of the time someone says “How are you!”, we should answer “________”．

[　　]

A．

I am tired

I have a bad cold

I’m fine

D．

(2)

“Good morning!” is used in ________．

[　　]

Often they read books and papers, but they don't talk much. When you meet English people they often talk about one thing--weather (天气). So when you meet somebody in England, you can say, “Nice weather for the time of year!” “But it is a little cold today,” somebody may answer. “But it will be a little warmer later,”you can say.
