C．was a good listener and contributed a lot in the meetings

　　D．was afraid to offer her ideas because of her lack of confidence

　　解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段第四句"The small team I worked with often seemed busy, so rather than giving ideas that might get turned down, I stayed back."，并结合第四段倒数第二句"I did it to show that I was a listener, but also to hide my fears."可知，"我"工作所在的团队常常看起来很忙碌，"我"担心自己的建议或想法遭到拒绝，所以只愿做一个倾听者。据此可知，由于缺乏自信，"我"害怕表达自己的想法，故D项正确。

　　(2018·陕西省高三教学质量检测)Career success could be predicted as early as kindergarten, according to a 20­year study recently published in the American journal Public Health.

　　Researchers from Pennsylvania State University and Duke University tracked more than 700 children from across the US between kindergarten and age 25 and found a significant correlation (关联) between their social skills as kindergarteners and their success as adults two decades later.

　　In the research, teachers assessed how the kindergarteners interacted with each other socially using a range of criteria like whether they cooperate with their peers without prompting, whether they're helpful to others, whether they're good at understanding feelings, and whether they can solve problems on their own.

　　Researchers then kept track of whether the students go on to graduate from high school on time, get a college degree, and find and keep a full­time job by 25. They also monitored the participants' involvement with crime, drug abuse, public assistance, and mental health issues.

The results showed that socially capable children are far more likely to earn a college degree and have a full­time job by 25 than those with limited social skills. Those with limited social skills also have a higher chance of getting arrested, binge drinking, and applying for public housing.
