If you think you are too shy and want to be a little bit braver， just try the following things：
Be open to others. Tell people you are shy. There is no need to hide（藏）it. When they get to know you are a shy kid， they will understand you better. This also helps you feel more comfortable in talks.
Try to smile more. When you smile， people think you are friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings too and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.
Learn to be a good talker. If you find it hard to start a conversation， say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?
Get your attention elsewhere. Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don’t waste time worrying about your look or whether people like you or not. You will become relaxed and find it’s not so hard to talk with others.
Take one small step at a time. Each time when you say “Hi!” or smile at someone， say to yourself “You can make it.” Keep trying and one day you’ll never feel shy when you talk to others.

I hid (藏)the long black bag in the garage (车库) two days ago. Tonight， in the dark， I would finally take it away. If everything went OK， it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one， not even my wife， saw me.
It was very difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was true. But the reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.
First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. My son wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10：30 pm was not early. As usual， I read them a bed time story， but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.（秘密）
The great time finally came， and feeling like a thief (小偷) in the night， I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end， I took the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.
It was already eleven o’clock. By the light of the moon I started working， trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a hammer (锤子).
After much hard work， I finally finished my work. I looked down at my watch. It was 4：00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn’t be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas brought them this year.

Weekday mornings are very busy for US middle school students. When your school doesn’t have a bus， and you live too far away to walk， you need a carpool (拼车). A carpool is a group of people sharing the responsibility (责任) of driving to school in the morning. There are usually four or five kids in a carpool and their parents take turns to drive the kids in their cars.
Someone’s car smells like wet dogs. Some kids get to eat desserts (甜点) for breakfast and some parents shout so much that all you try to do is to stay quiet and go unnoticed. When your mom or dad drives the carpool， your classmates get a close-up look at how strange your parents can be. It might be your first sociological (社会学) study and your first time to work with others.
Teamwork is really important in the carpool because nobody wants to make everyone else late. It’s a great lesson in responsibility. Imagine (想象) sitting in the car outside of a classmate’s house， watching the clock and counting the seconds. Then you start to understand how your carpool friends might feel when you are still inside the house at 7：48. You really begin to learn all your real life lessons just moments before the start of school—in the carpool.
