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(經(jīng)歷).
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(機(jī)會) 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.
【小題1】The underlined phrase “to feel yourself again” in the third paragraph means “________”.

A.感受生活 B.恢復(fù)過來 C.玩得開心 D.尋求幫助
【小題2】What kind of shyness can be bad according to the passage?

D.You have a red face when you’re asked to answer a question in class.
【小題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
【小題4】We can infer(推斷)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
【小題5】What’s the best title for this passage?

解析試題分析:短文大意:在全班同學(xué)面前演講或去參加一個生日聚會或許你會覺得害羞?專家們發(fā)現(xiàn),有超過80%的中小學(xué)生害怕成為關(guān)注的中心。有些孩子出世就害羞。一些人害羞是因為他們的生活經(jīng)驗。事實上,每個人都有害羞的時候。只是多少罷了。
【小題1】詞義猜測題。根據(jù) Shyness means feeling nervous or afraid when you’re around other people推測.當(dāng)你到一個新地方,或者遇到陌生人時,需要一些時間恢復(fù)自己的感受是正常的。所以選B。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a very big problem.可知選D。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)You see, being shy isn’t all bad. But remember not to let good opportunities(機(jī)會) 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!就可知選A。
【小題4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)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可推知選C。
【小題5】標(biāo)題歸納題。本短文是在說明有關(guān)害羞的問題,所以選C。

What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions(提到) hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.
If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表的順序)and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11="98," meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5="96," while love:12+15+22+5="54," and luck : 12+21+3+11="47," a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer(祈禱)? They can’t , either.
Then what else? Don’t be worried.You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude(態(tài)度).Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100,a full mark.
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude.
When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive (積極地) attitude towards failure(失敗),you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.
【小題1】What is the mark of the word “money”?

A.54 B.72 C.96 D.100
【小題2】In the writer’s opinion, what is the most important thing in a person’s life?
A.Hard-work. B.Knowledge. C.Money. D.Attitude.
【小題3】According to the passage, if you meet with problems, the best way out is to _______.
A.a(chǎn)sk for help from others B.say your prayers to God
C.change your attitude D.try maths-solving methods (方法)
【小題4】From the passage we can learn that ______.
A.different attitudes come from different courses of life
B.mathematics can solve every problem easily in our daily life
C.failure sometimes can bring you good if you take a positive attitude
D.none of the English words except “attitude” equals to 100 or more
