本题考查如何应对社交焦虑症的话题，属于逻辑推理题。根据第三段下一句：“people who suffer from social anxiety miss out on the support gained from having relationships with others and typically have fewer friends.”人们会遭受交际困扰，从而错过很多可以通过人际交往尤其是与朋友的交往中获得的支持，可知前面一句应为选项A.通过逃避社交场所是正确的，所以选择A选项。事实细节题。根据第五段：“______17_____. One group performed good deeds, such as voluntarily washing up friends’ dishes or donating to charity. _______18_______, while the third group carried on with life as normal. ”one group...the third group....可知下面介绍的是几个分组，所以选项C他们被随机分为三个组是正确的，所以选择C选项。事实细节题。根据第五段：“______17_____. One group performed good deeds, such as voluntarily washing up friends’ dishes or donating to charity. _______18_______, while the third group carried on with life as normal. ”one group...the third group....可知下面介绍的是几个分组，因为已经有第一、第三组了，而且第一组用的是one ... 对应下一组是the other,one....The other...一个，另一个是固定用法，所以选项E是正确的，所以选择E选项。逻辑推理题。根据第六段：“ ____19______. And the new study showed that participants in the group who actively led a helping hand also experienced a reduction in their desire to avoid social situations.”下一句说的是参与实验的人员还能减少躲避社交场所的欲望，所以是一个进一步说明，前面空缺处应该也是表示帮助别人给受试者带来的好处，可知选项G是符合题意的，所以选择G选项。逻辑推理题。根据第六段和第八段，可知作者是要进一步说明good deeds做好事对减少社交焦虑的好处，可知选项F是符合题意的，所以选择F选项。
