Overcoming(克服) shyness is not impossible. The following steps may be helpful.
Step 1 Overcoming shyness is mainly a case of mind over matter. If you're afraid to do it, you will get much shyer when doing it. The more you come to talk with people, the easier it will become. You may also find that it's not as difficult as you thought anyway. Just talk to people a
little more every day.
Step 2 It sometimes helps to try to imagine yourself as another person. Think about this: Do you get shy when someone else walks up to talk to another? Of course you don't. Think of yourself as just another somebody else and it'll make it a little easier.
Step 3 Dress to impress. The better you look, the more confident you'll feel. Feeling good about your appearance can greatly reduce shyness.
Step 4 If you're up on stage, try to imagine that you're somewhere else. Maybe in your own comfortable living room. Tell yourself that the people in the audience are really no big deal. They're ONLY people.

A．we should talk to people as much as possible B．it's difficult to get over shyness C．we'll be shy when talking to more people D．we are shy because we don't think carefully
( )2.The second step tells us it's ________ to think of yourself as another person.
A．unnecessary C．useful

A．it's easy to speak in our living room
B．it's easy to speak to only people C．what to think of when speaking on stage D．when you can speak on stage ( )5.What's the best title of this passage?
