Question

2．Efficiency and productivity are the key factors in the workplace．Being noticed is essential for the employee to progress．What if you are shy？People often make assumptions that being shy means you can't complete a job as well as others and this can seriously hold you back．
A shy person is likely to be the one who works hard and struggles for a quiet life rather than being put in an awkward （令人不舒服的）） situation．Unfortunately it means that you may be the one who misses a promotion．Being shy means your boss is less likely to remember you despite your ability．You end up with the"reliable"one who will riot compete with others．
Communication is essential and while you may be a good listener it is important to make your voice heard．Shy people may have a lot of thoughts，but keeping their ideas to themselves is only to punish themselves when someone else receives praise for the same idea．Bosses may assume that you haven't the ability to think of ideas despite the fact that you have plenty but feel afraid to say them．If deals have to be made，your boss may think you won't be able to win over customers．
If you are unsure of carrying out a task and afraid of being laughed at，you will feel depressed．This could cause you not to complete the task effectively enough，Asking for help will ease the pressure．

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇说明文．主要阐述了在工作中害羞带来的不利方面以及该如何来克服这种害羞．在工作场所，追求的是效率和生产率，能够被关注是自身进步发展所必须的．但如果一个人害羞就意味着不能与人共同完成工作，老板们也不太可能关注到，虽然有时自己有好主意或有着与他人一样的想法，但由于自己不善表达、未表露展示，因此会失去晋升机会，阻止自身进步发展．面对这样的境地，需要对自己有信心，勇于表达，克服这种害羞，努力改变自己．
