         Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something
    just because the shop assistant asked you to buy it? Have you ever been afraid to ask someone for an
    appointment?
         Many people are afraid to assert themselves (坚持主见). Dr. Alberti, author of Stand Up and Speak Out,
    thinks it's because their self-respect (自尊心) is low. "Our whole system (体制) of society is designed to
    make people less confident," says Alberti. "There's always a person who knows more and better around us-a
    parent, a teacher or a boss. These people often chip away at (削弱) our self-image (自我形象)."
         To help people assert themselves, Alberti and other scientists offer AT courses where people learn that
    they have a right (权利) to do so. They learn to speak out and feel good doing so. They learn to be more
    active without hurting other people.
         In one way, learning to speak out is to get over fear. A group taking an AT course will help the shy person
    lose fear. And AT even encourages the need to share (分享) so that even the shy person wants to tell others
    how he feels.
         Whether you speak out depends on your self-image. If someone you face is more "important" than you,
    you may be afraid to do so. But, why should you? AT says once you can learn to speak out, you will gradually
    feel good about yourself.
    1. The author asks some questions in the first paragraph in order to _____.
    A. find out the answers
    B. make a survey
    C. ask for some advice
    D. introduce the topic
    2. The underlined phrase "talk back" in the first paragraph means _____.
    A. criticizing somebody
    B. answering to show disagreement
    C. talking behind somebody's back
    D. fighting with somebody
    3. One thing that AT does NOT do is _____.
    A. help people to get over fear
    B. remind people of their right to assert themselves
    C. teach people to assert themselves without respecting others
    D. help people to feel good about themselves
    4. What's the author's attitude towards AT courses?
    A. 肯定的
    B. 否定的
    C. 冷漠的
    D. 怀疑的
    5. The most suitable title for this passage would probably be _____.
    A. The AT courses
    B. Speak out for yourself
    C. The sadness of shy people
    D. The importance of self-respect
