八、阅读与回答问题
Nearly everyone is shy in some ways. If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons i n self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists (心理学家).
Make a decision not to be afraid in talks. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And don’t refuse party invitations just because of your shyness.
Prepare yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people. Think about what you would like to say at first. Then say it.
If you start feeling yourself in a group, take a deep breath and put eyes on other people. Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.
Even actors think that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so they can face the cameras and the public.
Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards (回报) . But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know more about you.
根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
1. Does everyone feel shy?
__________________________________
2. What shouldn ’t w e do when we are in a talk?
__________________________________
3. What do the psychologists tell us to do when we receive a party invitation?

4. Do people often concern about the impression they make?

5. What is the best reason for fighting shyness?
