answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Picture a society where learning can happen any time, in any place and can be
completed without ever going to class. This could be the new wave of education and the
Internet technology now exists to support such a system. The virtual classroom is here. If
you are interested in English, or Civil Engineering, then head to the university and click
yourself a degree. Well, maybe it’s not that easy, but you would be on the right track. The
flexibility of studying at your own pace, and the money you save with online courses are
two of the main attractions.
The Web is a powerful education tool. Yet some feel that virtual classrooms will
isolate students from each other, which will result in problems developing interpersonal
relationships and that these skills are much more important than computer skills. Should
teachers teach kids how to behave in society, how to respect others and how to cooperate
or should kids have already learned this from their parents? No one is saying that social

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 don’t 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 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. Experts have come up with four things you can do today for help.


B. Going green
C. Sweating
D. Smiling
Question 42: What do experts believe is the most essential measure to be taken?

A.
B.
C.
D.

Comparing yourself to other people
Studying others’ behavior in social situations
Discovering shared interests with others
Finding out what makes other people shy
Question 43: How can listening to others prove helpful in combating shyness?

A. It’s the first step to getting into conversation.
B. It’s a visible sign of becoming less shy.
