(0.8 point) Shyness may not seem to be a serious complaint, but for some who suffer from it, it can become unbearable. Even talking to a small group of people you know can seem like an ordeal, it can feel as if you’ve been asked to give a speech on a topic you know very little about to a number of experts. You start to feel hot and shaky, your heart beats faster, your knees feel weak, you begin to stutter and the whole experience seems to last forever. The fact of the matter is that shyness is something we often recognize in others: blushing is one of the more visible sighs, for example. Yet we do not judge someone harshly because of this. But shyness does mean you are harder to approach, so you become more isolated. As one shy person put it, “It’s like being in a prison, and it’s very hard to break out.” Experts on the subject have come up with various possible solutions, and one has been singled out as being the key to success, namely, finding an interest in common with other people. Spending a lot of time on the sidelines watching other people and envying them because they are much more outgoing doesn’t help; remembering that some of the people you envy most are probably shy themselves. The secret is how you deal with it. And experts have come up with four things you can do today to help. Firstly, you can start by listening to other people. You will find yourself getting interested in what they’re talking about and asking questions, and before you know it, you’ll be having a conversation. Secondly, you could try asking neighbors if you can walk their dog. Like children, pets can be excellent icebreakers for conversations with passers-by. Thirdly, try joining a class to learn something like tap-dancing or flamenco, where people are likely to laugh a lot. You’ll feel relaxed, and also you’ll be much too busy concentrating on what you are doing to feel shy. Lastly, try telling yourself that it doesn’t matter if you say or do something silly. Most people make a fool of themselves every so often, and it’s not the end of the world if you do. 1. One of the symptoms of shyness in a stressful situation is ___ A. sweating a lot. B. an increased heart rate. C. pain in the knees. D. excessive talkativeness. 2. Why do shy people become more reserved? A. Their social unease makes them more difficult to talk to. B. They see that others are shy too. C. Other people lack the patience to talk to them. D. They dread being judged by others. 3. The word "blushing" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ___. A. going green B. going red C. smiling D. sweating 4. What do experts believe is the most essential measure to be taken? A. Studying others’ behavior in social situations. B. Discovering shared interests with others. C. Comparing yourself to other people. D. Finding out what makes other people shy. Page 5 of 8
7. 5. How can listening to others prove helpful in combating shyness? A. You develop useful psychological skills. B. It’s the first step to getting into conversation. C. People will see you care about their interests. D. It’s a visible sign of becoming less shy. 6. It’s suggested in the text that a shy person should ___ A. learn to laugh more. B. learn to relax. C. take up a social hobby. D. help other people in the community. 7. Shy people should realize that everybody ___ A. says stupid things sometimes. B. makes jokes sometimes. C. is foolish. D. is self-conscious. 8. The major aim of the author of the text is to ___ A. give important advice on how to deal with shy people. B. raise the readers’ interest in shyness as a social problem. C. present recent findings about the nature of shyness. D. offer useful hints on how shy people can help themselves. Part 4: Choose from the list A- I the most suitable heading for each part (1-7) of the article. The first one has been done for you as an example. There is one extra heading which you do not need to use. (0.7 point) A. They don’t live up to their expectations F. A growing market B. Simply not the same G. Not a passive viewer C. Heroes and villains H. The power of effects D. Hidden information I. Using the same setting E. How to attract video gamers FILMS AND VIDEO GAMES 0 E . In just a few decades the videogame industry has become a lot bigger than the film business. In terms of turnover, what is rather grandly ‘interactive entertainment’ makes twice as much money as Hollywood cinema, which of course leaves people in the film business wondering if they can harvest any of this new income. Is there any way of making films more appealing to people who play videogames? 1 . Making a film out of a best-selling videogame can certainly guarantee a large audience. The success lies in the use of special effects. New videogames have stunning action sequences that rely on fantasy effects, and now films are being released with similar scenes. Gravity is discarded as heroes leap across huge gaps, while slow motion techniques show bullets moving through the rippling air. 2 . A major segment of the videogame market comprises science fiction games and film makers have started to realize that they could set films in similar sci-fi future worlds. But the difficulty for the procedures of Hollywood appears to be knowing where and when to stop. Any attempt to borrow more than the setting from a videogame is probably doomed. Page 6 of 8
8. 3 . There are many examples of successful film-videogame combinations. Rather than making a film using characters and stories from a videogame, the trick seems to make a film that has a fast moving action sequence and then bring out a videogame based on that sequence. People who enjoyed the film will probably want to buy the videogame. This clearly creates a new market opportunity for the videogame industry. 4 . Why do game players feel disappointed by films based on their favorite games? One reason is technical. Videogames can show the action from a number of perspectives easily, because everything is computer generated. But filming a sequence from twenty different cameras would cost a fortune, so it simply isn’t feeling that the film didn’t look as real as the videogame. 5 . Cameras matter in another sense, too. In a film the director shows you the action from certain perspectives but makes sure he doesn’t show you some things to keep you in suspense. Think of your favorite thriller. You wouldn’t be interested in watching the film if you knew the identity of the murderer, for instance. In films you are not supposed to have access to all the information. Suspense and mystery are essential elements of film making. 6 . This is not true for videogames. When you play a game, you have to do certain tasks to proceed to the next level. Therefore, you must be able to see everything in order to make your choices, to decide what to do next, which door to open, and so on. You must have access to all the information. You, as the player, are always in control. In the cinema you never control the action. You just sit and watch. 7 . There can be some interactions between films and videogames on a number of different levels, but in the end they fulfill different needs. We go to the cinema to let someone else tell us a story, knowing we can’t influence what happens at all. For all the similarities between technologies and special effects, we shouldn’t forget that a story and a game are fundamentally different. D.
