Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.

　　Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.

　　12．What's the function of the example in Paragraph 2?

　　A．It reflects that people are concerned about the spread of Ebola.

　　B．It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.

　　C．It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.

　　D．It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.

　　解析：选C　写作手法题。根据文章第二段第一句中的“Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news”可推知，本段中的例子就是为了论证这句话的，即不说明事情的真相会带来许多负面影响，与第三段的整体论述相呼应。故答案选C。

　　13．One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that ________.

　　A．story­sharing highlights the importance of hard work
