Shyness can be an unhappy feeling. But the good news is, you're not alone. Scientists say that more than 40 percent of teenagers and adults consider themselves shy. Shyness is feeling a little nervous or as if you want to hide when you're around other people or in a new situation.

___ Scientists say such things as genetics（遗传基因）， life experiences， and environment can influence whether a person is shy. For example, in some families, everybody seems to be shy.

What happens if you are shy? Well, being shy may cause you to avoid or miss opportunities you would enjoy.

How do people overcome (克服)shyness? This is what Gilbert tells us. "When I started off trying to get over being shy, I decided to do little steps at a time, including practicing smiling and saying hi to people. And it worked for me. “

But shyness is not the kind of thing that most people can get over overnight. Overcoming shyness take time and needs practice.

Here are some tips given by scientists.

Think of what to talk about before you leave home. Prepare things to talk about before you're in a social situation. For example, if you know your classmates are interested in an upcoming event, learn about it so you can join in the conversations.

Let people know you're shy. If you're shy, just show it. Instead of letting people guess, tell them the truth. Explain that you are shy and feel nervous but enjoy talking to people.

Make things easy for the other person. Remember, you’re not the only shy person around. Do what you think might help others feel good-for example, say hello or smile.

Pick one social skill to practice at a time. Start simply. For example, smile or be the first person to say hi. Choose skills you feel comfortable enough with to practice for a day, a week, a month, or even a year.

In the 1950s, a female swimming athlete set a goal for herself. She decided to swim across the English Channel before she retired. If she could make it, she would be the first person in the world who did it.

On that day, she jumped into the sea without any hesitation and swam towards the opposite bank.

In the journey, she faced heavy fog, heavy rain and heavy waves. Though she was very tired, she carried on swimming.

But in the end, she gave up. And what she didn't know at the moment she gave up was that the opposite bank was only I mile away.

Later people asked her about the reason. And she said:"The reason why I gave up is that I could not see the destination which I was so close to."

Do you ever wish you were as thin as a model(模特)or as strong as your favourite football player? Maybe you wish you were taller or just thinner a little. Those thoughts are a natural part of growing up.

But learning what you can and can't change about your body is part of growing up, too. It can be hard to do. But when people accept the way they look, they often feel happier.

Some children worry that they're not growing and developing as fast as their friends. It's important to know that puberty(青春期) doesn’t happen at the same time for every child. And there are no special medicines that can make it happen sooner!

Eating healthy food and exercising more can make all children feel better. Why? Because they will help you feel energetic(精力充沛的) and keep your body working just the way it should be.

Watching TV and playing computer games can be fun, but they don't do much for your body because you sit when you do them. But when you move your body -- by playing, dancing, taking part in sports, or even cleaning your room--you exercise your muscles(肌肉).　 When you exercise the muscle, it gets stronger. And when you have strong muscles you can do whatever you want to do.

1.When do people often feel happier about their bodies according to the passage(答题不超过10词)

_______________________________________________________________________

2.What can make all children feel better?(答题不相过10词)

_______________________________________________________________________

3.How does your muscle become when you exercise it?(不超过5词)
