【单选题】
A、beautiful woman lowers her eyes shyly beneath a hat. In an earlier era, her gaze might have signaled a mysterious allure.But this is a 2003 advertisement for Zoloft, an inhibitory drug approved by the F.D、
A、to treat social anxiety disorder. "Is she just shy Or is it SocialAnxietyDisorder " reads the caption, suggesting that the young woman is not luring people at all. She is sick.
This does us all grave harm, because shyness and timidness—or more precisely, the careful, sensitive temperament from which both often spring—are not just normal. Indeed, they are valuable.And they may be essential to the survival of our species.
But shyness and introversion share an undervalued status in a world that prizes being sociable.Children’s classroom desks are now often arranged in pods, because group participation supposedly leads to better learning. Many adults work for organizations that now assign work in teams, in offices without walls, for supervisors who value "people skills" above all.As a society, we prefer action to contemplation, risk-taking to heed-taking, certainty to doubt.As the psychologist William Hart points out, phrases like "get active," "get moving," "do something" and similar calls to action surface repeatedly in recent books.
Yet shy and introverted people have been part of our species for a very long time, often in leadership positions. We find them in recent history, in figures likeCharlesDarwin andAlbertEinstein, and, in contemporary times: think of Google’s Larry Page.
Sitters and strollers favor different survival strategies, which could be summed up as the sitter’s "Look before you leap" versus the stroller’s inclination to "Just do it!" Once you know about sitters and strollers, you see them everywhere, especially among young children.Drop in on your local Mommy and Me music class: there are the sitters, intently watching the action from their mothers’ laps, while the strollers march around the room banging their drums and shaking their maracas.
Relaxed and exploratory, the strollers have fun, make friends and will take risks, both rewarding and dangerous ones, as they grow. In contrast, sitter children are careful and shrewd, and tend to learn by observing instead of by acting. They notice scary things more than other children do, but they also notice more things in general. The psychologist Gregory Feist found that many of the most creative people in a range of fields are introverts who are comfortable working in solitary conditions in which they can f0CUS attention inwarD、Another advantage sitters bring to leadership is a willingness to listen to and implement other people’s ideas.
Now, it’s time for the young woman in the Zoloft ad to rediscover her lure.
It can be inferred from the text that many famous figures______.
A、tend to isolate themselves from the public

B、might be too shy to become a great leader
C．are successful regardless of their shyness
D．tell us the importance of accepting ourselves

[试题类型] 推理引申题。 [解题思路] 由题干中的关键词famous figures可定位至第四段第二句。该句提到了几个著名人物：查尔斯·达尔文、阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦、谷歌的拉里·佩奇。句中的them指代前一句中提到的shy and introverted people，该句与上一段内容形成转折，指出害羞与内向型的人在历史上层出不穷，且通常处于领头人的位置(Yet shy and introverted people have been...leadership positions)，故可判断尽管成功者中有很多人性格害羞内向，但这并不影响他们成为成功的领头人，选项[C]与此相符。 [干扰排除] 原文只提到了害羞内向的人自古就有，且往往居领导之位，没有具体说明他们内向害羞的表现，选项[A]属于无中生有，可排除。选项[B]意为“名人们可能太害羞而成不了领导者”，与原文意思相悖，也可排除。作者全文都在论述内向型人格的价值，但并没有提及“接受自己”，文中提到名人的共同特点是内向但成功，与是否“接受自己”无关，故选项[D]错误。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
