When you are not confident, you can’t do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you, try to speak loud enough so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.(2) play sports. Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. ②A strong body helps you be full of confidence.(3) encourage yourself. Write down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework?

But it’s easy to overcome if you know that failure is part of your life. Don’t hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better.(5) pick up a hobby. If you like singing , sing as much as you can. In some ways,a hobby can make you outstanding. And it will make you happy and confident.71.

Ships sometimes sink a ling way from land, When this happens, the people have to get into small lifeboats. If another shipdoes not come to help them quickly enough. or they do not have any food or water. they may die.Most people believe that we must not drink sea water. They believe that if we do. we will be very ill because of the salt in the water. But a doctor named Alain Bombard did not believe this. He thought that people could stay alive at sea by dinking sea water and eating small fish, animals and plants from the ocean, On October 19, 1953. he set out to prove he was right by crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a small boat. He did not take any food or water with him.Every day, Dr Bombard drank just a little sea water. He also caught fish . He took small plants from the ocean, which gave him more food.Dr Bombard became hot and quite ill, but after sixty-five days at sea, he was still alive, He traveled 1,700 kilometers from one side of the Atlantic Ocean to the other.He had lost 20 kilograms in weight, but he proved that people can survive on sea water and the animals and plants in the ocean.31.

To get to the other side !”That’s an old joke in the west , but it came to my mind again when I saw people crossing the road at the intersection ofShaanxi Road and Huaihai Road in Shanghai . When the traffic light was red, a group of people were waiting for the light to change . Suddenly one man began rushing to the other side of the road . Soon others followed him at the crossing and more people did the same . Just like chickens , they didn’t mind the honking horns (喇叭声) and kept crossing the road in a mess . Every year several thousand people are either killed or hurt on the roads in Shanghai . And at least one third of them were jaywalking(乱穿马路)。
