People often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured.  I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. It's something we are bom with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. There are too many people,however,who seem to be determined to find some ways of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion,it's a waste of time. I don't mean that we should do nothing about it;quite the
contrary,I think we need to separate the basic fact of shyness from our ability to take part in a social
environment.
Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all,Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy,yet
for decades he made a living talking and associating(交往) with different people every night,in front of a
national audience.  Carson has never done away with his shyness,but he has successfully found a way to
deal with it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host,but a legend(传奇) among talk show
hosts.  Look also at Sally Fields,who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman
who has appeared in many films,TV shows and interviews,yet in her early years she was so shy that she
tumed down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her.
I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is bom with some msecurity(不安全感) and this
insecurity prevents us from reaching out to others the way people with a more open personality do. As we grow up and become adults,we allow our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuck in kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was when our shyness took root in our soul.
1. In the author's view,shyness can be explained as ______.
A. a disease that can be easily cured
B. a not very normal mental condition
C. an emotional disability
D. something we pick up after birth
2. The author believes it's a waste of time to _____.
A. develop a healthy personality
B. talk with as many people as possible
C. study where shyness comes from

3.  Which of the following is TRUE of Johnny Carson?
A. He dared to speak in front of a national audience.
B. He did away with his shyness carefully.
C. He was described as a hero in some legend books.
D. He failed to become a good talk show host.
4. The passage tells us that Sally Fields was ______
A. proud all the time
B. impolite when young
C. shy in her early years
D. close to Jane Fonda
5. The author thinks that our shyness is there because ______.
A. we are not open enough
B. we don't feel safe at heart
C. we try to reach out to others all the time
D. we lack certain social skills

日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。　　
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：　　
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。　　
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。　　
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。　　
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
