§1. Recent research in America has shown that shyness is determined by our genes; some people are simply born that way. Strangely enough, it’s often those people who look as if they should be most confident (tall people, for example) who are most insecure. The 13-year research has now identified the gene that causes shyness, and the scientists believe that in fact we are all born more or less shy. It's just that some people are able to deal with it better than others. Personal circumstances have an influence as well.

§2. Shyness may not seem to be a serious problem, but for some people who suffer from it, it can become unbearable. Even talking to a small group of people you know can seem difficult - 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.

§3. The fact of the matter is that shyness is something we often recognize in others: blushing (going red) is one of the more visible signs, for example. Yet we don't judge someone harshly because of this. But shyness does mean you're 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."

§4. 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 the sidelines watching other people and envying them because they are much more outgoing doesn't help; remembering that some of the people you most envy are probably shy themselves, does. The secret is how you deal with it. And experts have come up with four things you can do today to help:

§5. Firstly, you can start by listening to other people. You will find yourself getting interested in what they're talking about and asking questions - and before you know it, you'll be having a conversation.

§6. Secondly, you could try asking neighbours if you can walk their dog. Like children, pets can be excellent icebreakers for conversations with passers-by.

§7. Thirdly, try joining a class to learn something like tap-dancing or flamenco, where people are likely to laugh a lot. You'll feel relaxed, and also you'll be much too busy concentrating on what you're doing to feel shy.

§8. Lastly, try telling yourself that it doesn't matter if you say or do something silly. Most people make a fool of themselves every so often - and it's not the end of the world if you do!

A38. What do scientists believe?

1. Only a few people possess the shyness gene.

2. Everybody is shy.

3. People can learn to manage shyness.

A39. What happens to shy people in a stressful situation?

1. They keep talking for a long time.

2. Their heart rate increases.

3. Their legs can no longer support them.

A40. What do experts believe is the answer to shyness?

1. Studying others in social situations to see how they act.

2. Discovering shared interests with others.

3. Finding out what makes other people shy.

A41. To overcome their shyness, a person should ...

1) take up a 'social' hobby.

2. learn to relax.

3. help other people in the community.

Polly Vacher is no ordinary woman pilot. (A45) …

Polly’s 46,000 km record-breaking journey began in January. It ended only three days behind schedule when she landed her Piper Dakota at Birmingham in central England in May, five months later.

(A46) … This included storms and a cyclone in Fiji, a country in the South Pacific Ocean. Nor was the journey without incident for Polly, who only learned to fly at the age of forty-nine.

One of the trip’s most frightening moments came, on the same route where Amelia Earhart, the American pilot, went missing when she was attempting to fly around the world in 1937. (A47) … In fact, she allowed herself to be photographed as she stood beside a Banyan tree, which Amelia Earhart had planted in 1935, before setting off for the 16-hour section of her flight from Hawaii to California.

According to Polly all went well for the first part of her journey. Then suddenly it started to get very bumpy. Checking the outside air temperature Polly discovered it was zero degrees. To her horror she found streams of ice-cold rain running back along the wings and starting to freeze. (A48)…

Though Polly immediately dropped her height to prevent the weight of ice pulling her plane into the ocean, there was more drama when the cabin suddenly went quiet. (A49) … As a result the main tank had run dry an hour early, but fortunately the emergency tank went into action and she was able to land safely.

The lonely hours spent flying were a great contrast to the warm welcome she received wherever she landed. (A50) … The publicity she attracted also raised money for a charity which provides flying scholarships for disabled people.
