Without further context, they all convey essentially the same message to me, Jenny. 'Shock' is probably more negative.

But I don't know how to use them. Their meanings are the same in Chinese. That's why I don't understand what the differences they are. Can anyone help me to make example sentences? Thank you!!!

Use 'shocked' if the news is unpleasant; use the others for both pleasant and unpleasant news.
