E  阅读提示：害羞是一种正

常反应，有时它表现为紧张或害怕。

本文主要介绍了害羞的原因，以及过于害羞对人的不利影响等方面的内容。

1. A联系上下文可知，本文主要介绍的是害羞。

B、C、D三项都与 主题无关。

2. A由下文可知，此处是指当你身边有其他人的时候，害羞意味着 感到紧张或害怕。

nervous意为“紧张的”。

3. B专家研究发现，有超过80%的中学生害怕成为被关注的焦点。find out意为“发现”。

4. B害羞的人应该是害怕成为被关注的焦点。attention意为“注 意，关注”。

5. C —些人后来变得害羞是因为他们的生活经历较少。because of 意为“因为”。instead of“代替”;thanks to“多亏”;as foi“至于”;都 不符合此处的逻辑关系。

6. B有时候每个人都有点害羞，只是多少的问题罢了。alittle可 用作副词，意为“有点”,修饰后面的形容词shy。其他三个选项都 是用来修饰名词的。

7. A由空后的the meal可推断，此处是指但是一些人变得太害羞， 他们不会去餐馆，因为他们太紧张而不敢去“点”餐。order意为 “(在餐厅、酒吧等) 点，要(食物或饮料) ”。

8. B害羞的人还应该不敢在餐馆里付“账”。bill意为“账单”, pay the bill意为“付账”。

9. D有些人害怕见到陌生人,所以他们很少出去。seldom意方1艮少”。

10. B联系空后的内容可知，此处是指如果害羞不会阻止你做想做 的事情，那么害羞就不是一个非常大的问题。stop sb. from doing sth.意为“阻止某人做某事”。

11. B联系下文的描述可知，害羞的人会更安静、更聪明(deverer) 。

12. C由空前的think more以及常识可推断，此处是指害羞的人会 想得更多、说得更少(less) 。

13. A联系下一句可知，此处是指害羞的人也很擅长和其他人一起 工作，因为他们为别人想得更多。

work with sb.意为“和某人一 起工作”。

14. B联系倒数第二段的内容可推断，害羞也不一定全是“坏”事， 故此处用bad。

15. A此处是指在别人面前唱歌。sing a song意为“唱一首歌”。
