Are you afraid to raise your hand in class even when you know the answer? If you are, most people would say that you are shy. If you feel shy, you are not alone. Nine out of ten people are at least a little shy. But however shy you are, scientific evidence seems to show that it isn’t your fault. You may have been born that way. How do psychologists measure shyness? One way is by observation. They keep detailed records of people’s actions, like how often these people speak to others or how long it takes someone to say hello to a stranger. Another way to measure shyness is to ask people questions. The test only takes about 10 minutes. It asks questions like:" Do you like going a lot?" and "Do you have many friends?" People must answer either yes or no. These questions can predict how people actually behave in social situations. Suppose the test tells you that someone is shy, chances are good that person will act shy. When scientists measure shyness, they are really comparing degrees of shyness. In other words, when researchers say people are shy, they really mean they are more shy than others.

(Pause 00’15")
(Tone)
W: Exercise, exercise, exercise, we hear so much about it these days that even the experts can’t agree on which exercises are best. Now some doctors are strongly encouraging arm exercises.
M: Arm exercises? Is that because our arms are too fat of flabby?
W: Actually, that’s not the main reason. They say that arm exercises are an ideal way to become physically fit.
M: But don’t arm exercises raise your blood pressure?
W: That they do, but the article I read mentioned ways to compensate for that.
M: How?
W: By adding leg exercise so the arms don’t do as they work. Arm exercises alone aren’t enough to increase metabolism before fatigue sets in. The more of a body that involves in the exercise, the better.
M: And in turn, I’m sure that there is a great chance of losing weight.
W: Sounds right to me.
M: So, what exercises do the experts recommend?
W: They mentioned quite a few. But some of the more popular ones are bicycling with special bicycles that make you use both your arms and legs, and walking vigorously while wearing arms weights.
M: I must try that. I like to walk a lot.

(Pause 00’15")
(Tone)
M: Do you mind if I take notes?
W: Not at all.
M: Thank you. I see that you have been an assistant manager for four years, which means that you were made an assistant manager at a relatively young age. I’m interested in whether you have problems of authority, and how you would deal with them. Can you tell me how you would deal with a member of the staff who refused to carry out an order or request that you thought was perfectly reasonable?
W: I would make sure that the interview took place in private. I think that’s important. I would ascertain whether there was antagonism towards myself, or whether the root of the cause was domestic, or indeed in the work situation, and I would take it from there.
M: You’d talk it through?
W: Oh, yes.
M: Right, thank you. Er ... as you know, there have been a number of applications for this post.
Why do you think we should give it to you?
W: I recognize that I have a comparative lack of experience in senior management. Er ... since I got my MBA, I’ve done a lot of work. I’ve done, ... er ... negotiation studies, and psychology studies. I think that I have a basis, ... er ... for a fresh and dynamic approach.
M: Most interesting. Thank you for coming, and we’ll let you know it about a week.
W: Lovely, thank you. Nice to meet you. Goodbye.

Questions 22 through 25 refer to the following conversation.
You now have 15 seconds to read the questions.
(Pause 00’15")
(Tone)
M: It’s good to see you back. How was your trip to Arizona? Did you see the Great Canyon?
W: Yes, it was fantastic. Now I know why it is listed together with the Nile river as one of the great natural wonders of the world. Here, want to see the picture I took?
M: Oh what a view! It is even bigger than I had imagined. I remember reading about the Great Canyon and I think it said that it was formed suddenly when the earth crust split open during an earthquake.
W: Well, not that quickly. Look, here is the picture of the Colorado river. See way down at the bottom of the canyon, that river and its tributaries have been wearing the canyon floor away for ten million years.
M: Then the canyon is the result of soil erosion. I’ll bet geologists have made some interesting discoveries there.
W: Not only the geologists, archaeologists have also found the bones of extinct animals in caves in the canyon walls. In a cave one hundred and forty feet above the river, they found drift wood that dated back as far as thirty-seven thousand years.
M: That means the river must have been a hundred and forty feet higher up when it carried the drift wood into the cave.
W: It’s very possible, but of course who knows. The Great Canyon is full of mysteries. Wouldn’t you like to go to Arizona some day?
M: You bet I would.
