科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：江蘇省2012屆度高三上期初調(diào)研測(cè)試（英語(yǔ)） 題型：閱讀理解

It is true that shyness can be a disadvantage socially for those who suffer from it seriously. I mean real shyness, not somebody who is simply quiet. Quiet people could be shy, but on the other hand, they may just be observing because they are unsure of you or others in your company. They may be capable of being extrovert (性格外向的) and sociable, but on some particular occasions, they are quiet.

I have learnt from my experience that those who observe and listen more and talk less can gain a position of strength. This means that even a very shy person, the type who is reluctant to talk in company (在交際場(chǎng)合) , especially new company, can become a strong person in just about anything they choose. Remember, knowledge is power, and a shy introvert (性格內(nèi)向的人) is in a better position to gain knowledge than an extrovert. Introverted people can give great attention to learning, and as good listeners they can take in an enormous amount from others. Over time, people can come to respect them far more than the extrovert who speaks a lot. Usually about themselves.

What does it take , then for a very shy person to be that successful person they have always wanted to be ? They may only need one more thing to push themselves on their way. They need to dare themselves to take the leap; and when they do , they will probably find all the knowledge they have gained over the years will help them on their way to the top in their chosen field.

1.What does the first paragraph mainly want to tell us?

A. A person who is quiet may not be shy.  B. A shy person may not be a calm one.

C. Quiet people are usually doubtful.     D. Shyness is sometimes a bad feature.

2.The underlined word “reluctant” in paragraph 2 probably means ________.

A. lazy             B. careful              C. eager            D. unwilling

3.According to the author, introverted people can be successful because they usually ________.

A. have a strong will                       B. talk less and show off less

C. learn more than extroverts               D. have a good attitude to learning

4.It can be learned from the last paragraph that “one more thing” probably refers to ________.

A. energy           B. courage              C. quietness            D. knowledge
