61.D
Some people want to feel less shy so that they can have more fun socializing and being them-selves around others. Practise social behaviors like eye contact,confident body language,introductions,small talk,asking questions,and invitations with the people you feel most comfortable around.Then branch out to do this with new friends and strangers,too.
62.B
Often the hardest part of talking to someone new is getting started.Think of some topics,like
introducing yourself"Hi,I'm Chris.We are in the same English class",giving a comment"That jacket looks great on you",or asking a question"Do you know when our report is due?"Being ready with a conversation starter or a few makes it easier to approach someone else.
63.
When you're ready to try something you've been avoiding because of shyness-like a phone call or a conversation,write down what you want to say beforehand.Read it loudly,maybe even in front of the mirror.Then just do it.Don't worry about if it's not exactly like you practiced or if it's not perfect.Be proud that you gave it a go.Next time,it'll be even better because it will be easier.
64.C
Find group activities where you can be with people who share your interests.Give yourself an opportunity to practise socializing with these new people,and get to know them slowly.People who are shy often worry about failing or how others will judge them.Worries and feelings like these can keep you away from others.
65.E
Because shy people can be overly concerned with other people's reactions,they don't want to rock the boat.That doesn't mean they're cautious.But it can mean they are less likely to be confident.Being confident means speaking up for yourself when you should,asking what you want or need,or telling other people when they're stepping on your toes.
