五、阅读单选
Shyness is a kind of fear. People who are shy always worry too much about what people think of them or embarrassing themselves in some way in front of others. How can we overcome shyness
◆Have a good posture（姿势）
The way a person holds themselves says a lot about that person. People with sloped（倾斜的）shoulders don’t think of themselves as important. So stand up straight, shoulders back, keep your head up, and always make eyes contact（接触）. By practicing a good posture, you will feel you have the ability to do things well.
◆Increase your walking speed
You can tell if a person is confident by the way he walks. People who walk in a slow way, and looking at the ground while walking usually have no confidence in themselves. While people who have confidence in themselves walk faster. That is because they have important things to do, friends to meet, places to go etc. So walk a little faster, head held up, and look straight ahead.
◆Do some exercise
Exercise increases your energy in the body. That will put you in a more positive（积极的）state of mind. By having exercise, you will feel sure of yourself. Think about it; it is better to do some exercise than just looking at TV all day.
◆Do things that make you feel good about yourself
This can be anything that you really like doing like going to the theater, listening to music, traveling, helping someone out with a problem etc.
