Nearly everyone is shy in some ways. 6 They may always wonder: What kind of impression am I making Do the people around like me Am I wearing unfashionable clothes
Since shyness makes people feel uncomfortable, why not try to overcome(克服) it 7
Keep a diary to find out the cause of your shyness. By writing down your thoughts, you can know more about yourself.
8 For example, if you’re going to a party, you’d better find out who will be there and what they will do. Think about what you would like to say ahead of time. In this way, you’ll feel it much easier to communicate with others.
Make simple changes in body language. 9 “S” stands for “smile”, “O” stands for “open”, “F” stands for “forward”, “T” stands for “touch”, “E” stands for “eye contact” and “N” stands for “nod”.
No one can completely overcome shyness. 10 So if you fail to beat shyness completely, don’t feel stressed. At least you can give other people a chance to know more about you!
A. Here are some suggestions from psychologists.B. The word “SOFTEN” may be helpful to you.C. Shy people usually care too much about their own actions.D. Prepare yourself for being with others in groups.E. Don’t pay too much attention to the people around you.F. But most people do learn to live with their shyness.

根据文本内容，完成下面的思维导图，每小题2分，共10分。
When you meet someone for the first time, you often need to break the ice to start a friendly conversation. You may feel shy or uncomfortable. The reason you feel this way is that you don’t know how the other person will react. However, don’t let it get you down. The following tips may help you out.
First, smile. When you smile, people will think you are friendly and easy to talk to. They are also very likely to smile back and help you feel more comfortable about starting a conversation.
Second, be positive. Everybody likes being around happy people. Try to always look on the bright side of life even when you are in a bad situation. Be confident. If you like yourself, others will probably like you, too.
Third, be a good listener. Don’t take over the conversation and don’t just talk about yourself. Ask other people questions about themselves, too. This way they’ll know you’re interested in them.
Fourth, don’t keep yourself away from new people just because you feel shy. If you face a situation again and again, you’ll get used to it. It’s not easy, but it’s helpful.
After all, the other person may want to talk to you as well, but may be too shy to break the ice!

Roger Federer, a world-famous sports star, quit(放弃) the Olympic Games to deal with his knee problem. It was a hard decision because no one wanted to be a quitter. But finding the courage to let go can be good for you.
Nothing is fun all the time. Sticking to something difficult teaches us important skills like perseverance(毅力). However, learning to let go when things aren’t right is important too.

Making the decision to walk away can free up time and energy to spend on something you really enjoy. In fact, studies show that letting go of goals you can’t reach, or don’t really want, can build up your confidence and help you lead a happier and healthier life.

That can help you decide whether you should stay and stick, or quit and move on.
Quitting doesn’t have to mean totally giving up, though. For example, playing an instrument might be more fun if you take away the pressure of exams. If you do decide to give up an activity, Bean suggests picking up another where you can still enjoy things like teamwork, creativity, and exercise.
