Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

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 signs, 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.

A. sweating a lot.

B. an increased heart rate.

C. pain in the knees.

D.excessive talkativeness.

Read the passage below then pick out ONE best option ( A,B,C or D ) to complete each sentence:

About 120 people have been infected with the virus of bird flu since it spread in Asia in 2003, most of them contacted with chickens. More than 60 people have died from the virus. While some of those infected fell ill after eating sick chickens, doctors cannot quite determine if they were ill because of eating or handling the chickens. But the question about whether eggs are safe has assumed danger since healthy chickens carrying the virus were discovered in Indonesia recently. The chickens do not fall sick and continue laying eggs even though they carry and shed the virus. Scientists cannot agree whether the content of the eggs from such chickens are free from the virus, but they say there is some risk because the surface of the egg shells may still expose to virus.
