问题     About 40 percent of Americans think of themselves as shy, while only 20 percent say they have never suffered from shyness at some point in their lives. Shyness occurs when a person’s apprehensions are so great that they【C1】______  his making an expected or desired social response.【C2】______ of shyness can be as minor as  【C3】______ to make eye contact when speaking to someone,【C4】______ as major as avoiding conversations whenever possible.
    "Shy people tend to be too【C5】______ with themselves," said Jonathan Cheek, a psychologist, who is one of those at the forefront of current research on the topic." 【C6】______ , for a smooth conversation, you need to pay attention to the other person’s cues【C7】______ he is saying and doing. But the shy person is full of【C8】______ about how he seems to the other person, and so be often 【C9】______ cues he should pick up. The result is an awkward lag in the conversation. Shy people need to stop focusing on  【C10】______ and switch their attention to the other person."
   【C11】______ , shy people by and large have【C12】______   social abilities than they think they do.【C13】______ Dr. Cheek videotaped shy people talking to  【C14】______  , and then had raters (评估者) evaluate how socially skilled the people were, he found that, in the【C15】______ of other people, the shy group had few【C16】______ problems. But when he asked the shy people themselves【C17】______   they had done, they were unanimous in saying that they had been social hops(失败).
    "Shy people are their own【C18】______ critics," Dr. Cheek said.【C19】______ , he added, shy people feel they are being judged more【C20】______ than they actually are, and overestimate how obvious their social anxiety is to others.
【C11】
选项 A、Therefore
B、Nevertheless
C、On the contrary
D、Similarly
答案B
解析 根据后一句，害羞的人的社交能力往往比他们自己想的要强，与前文谈害羞的人的缺点相比，可知这里有一个转折语气，nevertheless可引起转折语气，相当于but。
