I asked him what he was doing in these years and he said he was teaching business at a local community college. “Teaching business?” I exclaimed. I thought I heard you were in New York, making a fortune in stocks. David smiled, “Yes, I didnt that until about five years ago. But I got out. The stress was giving you a stomachache and a bad heart. Besides, once I got into that business, I had to run just to keep up. I did not have any time to spend with my family.

If you are, most people would say that youre shy.If you feel shy, youre not alone. Nine out of ten people are at least a little shy. But however shy you are, scientific evidence seems to show that it isnt your fault. You may have been born that way.How do psychologists measure shyness? One way is by observation. They keep detailed records of peoples actions-like how often these people speak to others, or how long it takes someone to say hello to a stranger.Another way to measure shyness is to ask people questions. The test only takes about 10 minutes. It asks questions like “Do you like going out a lot?” and “Do you have many friends?” People must answer either yes or no. These questions can predict how people actually behave in social situations. Suppose the test tells you that someone is shy. Chances are good that that person will act shy.When scientists measure shyness, theyre really comparing degrees of shyness. In other words, when researchers say people are shy, they really mean they are more shy than others.Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.11.Why does the speaker say that it isnt a fault to be shy?12.What is one of the ways suggested by psychologists for measuring shyness?13.What is the purpose of the psychologists in asking questions?Passage TwoWhen Midori was two years old, she often climbed onto the piano bench and reached for the violin that belonged to her mother, a 38-year-old professional musician.“Please dont touch, Midori,” her mother scolded.

For several years mother and daughter practised together day after day. She was eager to learn. Failure often led to tears, though she never once turned from the instrument. Instead, she persisted until th
