Section B
Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and (11)selfconscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. (12)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 (13)unattractive clothes?
It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people (14)adversely. A person’s selfconcept is (15)reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s (16)reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a (17)profound effect on all areas of their lives.
Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their inferiority. (18)They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliments because they believe they are unworthy of praise.

I know it’s not true.” (19)It is clear that, while selfawareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.

(20)Since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of selfesteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. People’s expectations of themselves must be realistic. Living on the impossible leads to a sense of inadequacy.

【试题分析】判断推理题。
【详细解答】男士让女士描述一下当时的情形，女士说当时她正在睡觉，突然听到一阵可怕的声音，地板掀了起来，并像波浪一样摇晃，而这一切都是同时发生的。这显然不会是发生了暴风雪（snowstorm）和交通事故（traffic accident），飓风（hurricane）也不会掀起室内地板。所以四个选项中，地震（earthquake）是最符合这一情形的。

【试题分析】分析比较题。
