问题     Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people．Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions．Worrying 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 unattractive clothes? ”
    It is obvious that uncomfortable feelings must affect people．A person’s self- concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions．In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives．
    Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others．They need reassurance that they are doing"the right thing"．Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their inferiority．They also find it difficult to be pleased by praise because they believe they are not worthy of praise．A shy person may respond to praise with a statement like this:"You are just saying that to make me feel good，I know it’s not true．"It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful．
    Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately,people can overcome shyness with determined and patient effort in building self-confidence．Since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accepttheir weakness as well as their strengths．For example, most people would like to be "A"student in every subject．It is not fair for them to label themselves inferior because they have difficulty in some areas．People’s expectations of themselves must be realistic． Living on the impossible leads to a sense of inadequacy．
    Each of us is a unique, worthwhile individual．We are interested in our own personal ways．The better we understand ourselves，the easier it becomes to live up to our potential．Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life．
We can infer from the passage that the writer is______．
选项 A、a shy person
B、an ideal person．
C、a sensitive person
D、a realistic person
答案D
解析 推理题。从文章中我们可发现，作者不带任何感情色彩地去描述生性 腼腆人的种种特点，他的表述严谨、有条理，非常现实。而且文中也未捉 及作者本人是否腼腆、敏感或是否是理想主义者，因此应选择[D]选项。
