题文

I was painfully shy as a child. In high school I would avoid participating in class discussions. I was too afraid to talk to anyone but my clost friends~ I would think about being less shy, wanting the courage not only to ask a girl out, but to speak up in class and say what I was thinking. Yet, it never happened. Fears showed themlves in such lf-conscious questions as, " What will other people think?  What if she says no?" I felt a dark prence in my mind holding me back. This shyness continued into college. One day, the question occurred to me: Is life shy? The thought surprid me ! Think of the leaves bursting out in the spring time, the bird singing at dawn, the sheer number of different forms of life, all expressing the wideness and scope of divine life. There's nothing shy about it. Life is everywhere and attention-grabbing (引人注意的). So, if my creator isn't shy about all the life that needs expressing, I don't need to be either. I realized that if I wanted to overcome fear and shyness, I would have to put this law of life into practice~ Shyness, fear, and loneliness were hindering me from living my life as life: God wanted me to live it. Therefore, I decided to live how life saw me. One example: I wrote a note to a girl, asking her out on a date. Even as I was writing it, the fears of disaffirmation and unworthiness came to me. This time however, instead of shrinking back and hiding from the fear, I put the note in the campus mail in spite of mylf. I thought: whether she says yes or no, it's still right for me not to be shy. I can live with the confidence nt from the source of my life. The girl saw me in class the next day and told me that she would love to go out with me. I should not have been so surprid! Bit by bit, I was proving that the limited view of mylf no longer had control over me.  After college, I worked as a newspaper reporter, earned an advanced degree in theater, became a productive writer (a lifelong dream), met a special woman whom I married, and even got a job teaching at a university.小题1:The writer was shy as a child becau of______.A．awareness that life is shyB．lack of courage to speak out in publicC．fear of others' attitude and reactionD．failure in his participation in class discussion小题2:"The law" in Paragraph 4 refers to the fact that______.A．life is attention-grabbing and divineB．God treats everything and everyone fairlyC．everything in nature is in the favour of GodD．the creator of life which needs expressing isn't shy小题3:It can be learnt from Paragraph 5 that the writer______.A．didn't hesitate before nding the noteB．wouldn't regret nding the note despite the resultC．was not surprid when the girl agreed to go outD．believed in God and felt encouraged by the wideness of life小题4:The underlined word "disaffirmation" in Paragraph 5 probably means______.A．rejectionB．laughterC．regretD．horror小题5:The purpo of writing the text is to______.A．blame tho who are shy and unconfidentB．persuade people to have confidence in their careerC．share the personal experience with the readersD．prove that the overcome of shyness helps achieve success 题型：未知难度：其他题型
