Having a shy style isn't necessarily a problem. It's OK to take time to warm up to new people and situations.Some people want to feel less shy so they can enjoy socializing and being themselves around others. Here are some tips on overcoming shy feelings.
Practice social behaviors like eye contact, confident body language, introductions, small talk, asking questions, and invitations with people you feel most comfortable around. Smile and build your confidence.
Think of some conversation starters. Often the hardest part of talking to someone new is getting started. Think of conversation openers, like introducing yourself, giving a compliment (贊美), or asking a question.
Rehearse (排練) what to say. When you are ready to try something you've been avoiding because of shyness — like a phone call or a conversation, write down what you want to say. Read it out loud in front of a mirror. Then just do your social activities.Few of the things that more confident people do are perfect, either.
Give yourself a chance. Practice socializing with these new people and get to know them slowly. People who are shy often worry about failing or how others will judge them. Don't let these worries and feelings keep you from trying.
A. Start small with people you know.
B. Then you can start smiling and saying “hello” in real life.
C. One of the best ways to get over shyness is to believe in yourself.
D. Find group activities where you can be with people who share your interests.
E. Being ready with a conversation starter makes it easier to approach someone.

G. But shyness prevents some people from being as comfortable as they'd like to be.

It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula (公式). It is usually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didn’t get anything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind.

The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.

Above all, they knew how to use their brains.

In the fall of 1959, Freed suffered a bad reputation for rumors of bribery (賄賂行為), and his troubles were too strong to be resisted. When WABC asked Freed to sign a statement swearing that he had never taken bribes, he refused and was fired. Although he later signed such a statement for WNEW-TV, he lost his television show as well.
Finding himself unwelcome in New York, Freed fled to the West Coast, where he managed to land a daytime disc jockey (流行音樂播音員) job at KDAY in Los Angeles in 1960. Legal problems continued to bother him, though, and he was charged with taking bribes of more than $30,000 from a number of record companies. Publicly, Freed denied that he had ever accepted direct bribes, although he acknowledged that he had accepted gifts from record companies, but only for playing records that he was certain would become hits anyway. After a short time at KDAY, he left when the station management refused to let him promote his live rock ‘n' roll shows. He returned to New York, but not as a broadcaster. At the height of the great enthusiasm for the twist dance, he hosted a Manhattan twist revue (時事諷刺劇), but when this enthusiasm cooled, he found a disc jockey job at WQAM in Miami in 1962. During this difficult period, Freed began drinking heavily and lost his job in Miami after only two months. In December of 1962 he was found guilty in New York of two charges of commercial bribery and was given a six-month sentence and fined $300. This effectively ended his career.
Freed spent the last years of his life in Palm Springs, California. Although he had redefined what it meant to be a disc jockey and named the music that had become an anthem (圣歌) for the world's youth, he was a disgraced (恥辱的) and broken man, no longer able to work in the business he loved. On January 20, 1965, he died in a hospital in Palm Springs.
（1）Why was Freed fired by WABC?
A.Because he took bribes.
B.Because he swore he didn't take bribes.
C.Because he refused to admit taking bribes.
D.Because he refused to make a statement as WABC required.
（2）According to Freed, he accepted the gifts from record companies only when _______.
A.the gifts were not valuable
B.the gifts had no connection with playing records
C.the records he was asked to play were very famous
D.the records he was asked to play would surely become popular
（3）What can we learn from the passage?
A.Freed didn't take bribes at all.
B.Freed showed no talent for music.
C.Freed had made contributions in his career.
D.KDAY fired Freed because of his addiction to alcohol.

With Halloween approached, Chengdu's officials issued statement online, banning terrifying costumes to avoid chaos. Do you think it was reasonably? In my opinion, even if one wants to celebrate Halloween, then he or she should go to the US. I love Halloween, and it doesn't mean I want China to adopt the tradition, and I wouldn't ask for so a thing. I don't know about the origin in Halloween, but to me, it was not important. What's priceless is not the knowledge of that Halloween came from, but the pleasure you have with your friends. Each country should have its own unique traditions. I'm sure Chinese people have got its own ways of having fun.
