    Some scientists say our clothes are so powerful that they can change our feelings. 1, we can control our feelings 2 different colors of clothes.

    Normally when we are sad, we will wear dark colored clothes. On the other hand, when we are happy, we often choose to wear 3 colored clothes. This is because these clothes can make others 4 how we are feeling. It seems to say, “I'm upset, don't trouble me!” or “Today I'm pleased and easy-going.” Of course, we also know that some people like 5 different colors because of their likes or dislikes.

    Some people 6 these words. They often say, “If only this truly worked.” Well, in answer to those people, there are a lot of studies about what happens to 7 feelings. If he is sad, ask him to wear red or orange clothes. He will become 8 and happy very soon. If he is happy and excited, ask him to wear blue or black clothes. He will become quiet or peaceful a few minutes later. It proves that if we wear special colors of clothes, it can change our feelings.

    Suppose we are feeling sad, if we are in black, we may begin to feel 9. However, if we are in red or yellow, it can make us feel a little better.

    So remember, if you are not feeling your best, you can try wearing some different colored clothes. If one color has no effect on your feelings, maybe 10 will. Each color has its own power.

In your life, there are a lot of people around you. They are your relatives, neighbors, friends or classmates. Sometimes you get along well with them, but sometimes don't. What can you do when someone hurts you? Most people may be angry or even fight with him. But it's not a good idea. You'd better forget all this and forgive(宽恕，原谅) him.

      Maybe it's not easy for you to do that, but it's possible. Please remember: Keep a good mood, and you will keep healthy. Staying angry with others, in fact, means letting others' mistakes treat yourself unfairly.

      How can you forgive others?

      First, think of something pleasant and try to get yourself happy.

      Second, don't wait others to say sorry to you. If anyone hurts you, he won't say sorry to you. He may just want to hurt you or just don't see things the same way.

      Third, try to see things in others' shoes. You can understand their minds better and make yourself a little happier.

      At last, try to know yourself very well. Whose mistakes caused that, yours or others'? If it's your fault, try to say sorry to them. If it isn't, smile at the thing.

      I used to be an active girl. But two years ago, an English speaking competition held in my school changed me a lot.

      I stood on the stage(讲台) for the first time. I was so nervous that my brain(大脑) suddenly became empty. Not long after I began my speech, the hall turned noisy. It seemed that they were laughing at me. I knew I failed.

      From then on, I became quiet and always stayed alone. I didn't want to express my ideas in public, even in class. Every time I wanted to say something, I thought people would laugh at me. My friends couldn't understand me, and they left me, one by one.

One day, my science teacher asked us why trees in forests were much taller than those in the wild. "Ha, what a silly question!" I thought.

"There's not enough space in the woods for trees to expand their branches. Of course they have to grow taller than others. The trees in the wild needn't do that since there's enough space. " I said in a low voice.

To my surprise, the teacher said, "Yes, you're right. It is a competition. " My face turned red right now. I hadn't spoken for a long time, especially in public.

Then the teacher explained how tree s in forests had to grow taller to receive more sunlight. If not, they would die. This also happened in our society.

      What's more, the tree that doesn't live in a crowd is just like a person who has no friends in life.

      I raised my head slowly and found the teacher was looking at me. His eyes were as warm as sunshine. I realized that I must stand up and face the truth.

      If you think you're too shy and want to be a little braver, try the following. You can make it.

             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 easier in talks.

              When you smile, people think you're friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings, too, and ①most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.

      Take one small step at a time. If you find it hard to start talks, say something nice about people around you.         Doesn't it make you want to keep talking to that person?

      Turn your attention elsewhere.         ②Don't waste(浪费) time worrying about your looks or whether people like you or not Don't lose heart Each time after you say “hi” or smile at someone for the first time, say “I did it!” to yourself.        

Keep trying and one day you'll never be shy when you talk to others.
