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 conversations 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 be 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 (评估者) 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 hops(失败).
"Shy people are their own【C18】______ critics," 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.

听力原文: Today I would like to talk about the early days of movie making in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Before the pioneering films of D. W. Griffith, film makers were limited by several misguided conventions of the era. According to one, the camera was always fixed at the viewpoint corresponding to that of the spectator in a theater, a position now known as the long shot. It was another convention that the position of the camera never changed in the middle of a scene. In last week's films we saw how Griffith ignored both these limiting conventions and brought the camera closer to the actor. This shot, now known as a full shot, was considered revolutionary at the time, for the Love of Cold was the name of the film in which we saw the first use of the full shot. After progressing from the long shot to the full shot, the next logical step for Griffith was to bring in the camera still closer, in what is now called the close-up. The close-up had been used before, though only rarely and merely as a visual stunt, as for example in Edwin S. Poter's The Great Train Robbery which was made in 1903. But not until 1908, in Griffith's movie called After Many Years was the dramatic potential of the close-up first exploited. In the scene from After Many Years that we're about to see, pay special attention to the close-up of Annie Lee's worried face as she awaits her husband's return. In 1908 this close-up shocked everyone in the Biograph Studio. But Griffith had no time for argument. He had another surprise even more radical to offer. Immediately following the close-up of Annie he inserted a picture of the object of her thoughts, her husband cast away on a desert isle. This cutting from one scene to another without finishing either of them brought a torrent of criticism on the experimenter.
