But when the young man played, it seemed to him, as if his hands were iron. He worried so much about his playing that he became oversensitive （过度敏感的） to the comments of his playing. Unfortunately, in those days, a critic（批评家） was not considered a critic, unless he found something wrong. This attitude of the critics would often leave the young man ready to give up his dream and return home.He was invited to play in Helsinki. The rich, the famous, the leaders of State were all there. Jean-Michael had one of those days when everything went wrong. That night as he played, he felt as if it were the worst concert of his young life. The next day, in the newspapers, some of the comments were so unkind. The young musician was painful.That day, as he sat in his hotel room in total despair（绝望）, there came a knocking at his door. He had a visitor. The famous Finnish composer（作曲家） Jean Sibelius had come by to congratulate the young pianist on his performance. Jean-Michael asked how he thought of that and began to quote some of the newspaper critics. Hands of iron. No imagination. Little skill, no joy. Dont you hear what they say? he asked.Jean Sibelius looked at young Jean-Michael and said, Remember, son, there is no city in the world where they have erected a statue（雕像） for a critic.6、According to the passage, Jean-Michael Lourdis cared too much about what the critics had said.

Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A persons conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other peoples reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “Youre just saying that to make me feel good. I know its not true.” It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Lets not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life. 11、What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?” (Para. 1)_B_ A、Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B、Peoples shyness make them care too much about their appearance and actions.C、Its natural that shy people dont believe others compliments.D、Shy people think they are different from others.12、According to the writer, self-awareness is _A_.
