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 conversation 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 he 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 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 flops. "Shy people are their own【C18】________critic," 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.
