If you think you’re too shy and want to be a little bit brave, try the following:
You can make it. Tell people you’re shy. There’s no need to hide it. When they get to know you’re a shy kid, they’ll understand you better. This also helps you feel more relaxed in talks.
Try to smile more. When you smile, people think you’re friendly and easy to talk to. 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 talks, 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（在別處）. Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don’t waste time worrying about your look or whether people like you or not.
Take one small step at a time. Each time when you say “Hi” or smile at someone, say to yourself “You did it”. Keep trying and one day you’ll never feel shy when you talk about yourself.

When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of “Good luck!” from a friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?
In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.
Have you heard the saying “When you wish upon a star”? If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn’t happen very often. The saying goes that if you see one you have been very lucky, and so if you make a wish, it will come true.
Maybe you have heard of the lucky rabbit’s foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky animals, so they carry a part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbit’s feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny saying goes, “Depend on the rabbit’s foot if you will, but remember it didn’t work for the rabbit!”
People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bring them a lucky month in the following year—they will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole of good luck!

What does it feel like to break a bone (骨頭)? It’s different for everyone, but the pain is often sharp (嚴(yán)重). If the break is small, however, the person may not feel much pain at all. If you think that you or someone else has broken a bone, the most important things to do are to stay calm, make the hurt person comfortable, and call the doctor. Do not move the injured body part since movement could make it worse.
To treat the break, the doctor will need to take an X-ray. This gives the doctor the information he or she needs to set (接上) the bone: to put it back to its normal place. If the bone is large or it is broken in more than one place, the doctor may need to use metal pins (鋼釘) to set it. After the bone has been set, the next step is usually putting on a cast, the special, hard thing that will keep the bone in place for a month or two.
Your bones are excellent at healing themselves. Broken bones will produce many new cells (細(xì)胞) and tiny blood vessels (血脈). These cover both ends of the broken part, and close up the break until the bone is as whole and strong as before.
【小題1】 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．How to Know if a Bone is Broken
B．How Broken Bones Heal Themselves
C．Common Causes (原因) of Broken Bones
D．What You Should Know about Broken Bones
【小題2】 When someone breaks his bone, the following should be done except ______.
A．a(chǎn)sking the doctor for helpB．comforting the hurt person
C．moving the injured partD．staying calm
【小題3】Which is the correct order to treat the break?
a. take an x-ray  b. use metal pins to set it  c. put it back to its normal place  d. put on cast
A．a(chǎn)→b→c→dB．a(chǎn)→c→b→dC．a(chǎn)→d→c→bD．d→a→b→c
【小題4】The underlined word “heal” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “______”.
A．break againB．become worse C．wound or hurtD．become healthy again
【小題5】 Where would you probably read this passage?
A．In a story book.B．On a poster.C．In a health care book.D．In a chemistry book.

British people are famous for drinking tea. But both Sahar and Bobby Green became young millionaires（百萬富翁） when they opened a chain of American-style（美國風(fēng)味的） coffee shops in the U.K.

One evening , in a Thai restaurant，Sahar told Bobby how much she wished she could buy American-style coffee  in London . Bobby suggested  they start their own coffee shop.

Today , there are over 100 Coffee Republic shops all over the country and the company has revenues（收入） of $30 million a year.

Advice for others: Sahar has now written a best-selling book about their experience, called Anyone Can Do It! She hopes it will help other young people to start their own businesses.
