Whether you're an introvert(内向的人) or extrovert, quiet or loud, one of the key s to success in every area of your life is learning how to be more confident. Here are some things that can help you become more self-confident!
Train your brain. Instead of immediately assuming you can't accomplish something, believe you have what it takes to figure it out. Like Marie Forleo always says, "Everything is figureoutable."
Watch your words. Whether you realize it or not, the words you speak shape your beliefs about yourself and what others believe about you. The act of gossiping and putting others down always comes from a place of insecurity, so if you catch yourself wanting to say something sarcastic(讽刺的), redirect those thoughts to something better.
In her research, social psychologist Amy Cuddy found that confident people have higher levels of testosterone and that people's levels of testosterone can rise simply by exhibiting a "high power pose." We've all heard the phrase "Fake it till you make it," but Amy took this a step further and said, "Fake it till you become it."
Be secure. Being secure in who you are means that, although you might make a mistake or fail, you know you're not a failure.
Get experience. Nothing builds self-confidence like experience. After you've done the thing once you've led the company meeting, published your first blog, or coached your first client—your confidence in your ability to do it again will increase.
A. Stay positive.
B. Change your body language.
C. Just do it, and watch your confidence take off.
D. That also goes for what we speak about others.
E. You can learn how to be more confident in your mind.
F. You have the power to be more confident within yourself.
G. It means someone might disagree with you, but it doesn't shake you up.

2、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
I often find myself running late on the edge of missing appointments. It's not that I enjoy being late, but somehow, it keeps happening. A delayed train, a miscalculation in time, a wrong turn the reasons for my lateness are many. I dislike being late, and yet, I frequently find myself in a rush or arriving behind schedule.
Michaela Thomas, a Swedish psychologist, calls people like me "time optimists" or "tidsoptimists". We underestimate how long tasks will take and overestimate the time we have. As a result, we often find ourselves rushing, causing stress for both ourselves and those around us. It creates a domino effect of chaos, annoyance, and inconvenience for everyone involved. It can even have severe consequences.
The causes of standing lateness are complex. People, according to Jung, fall into two categories: "timekeepers" and "time enders". Timekeepers work methodically, stay organized, and usually finish tasks ahead of schedule. In contrast, time enders, like me, push things to the last minute, feeling most energized and creative when under pressure.
Many see procrastination (拖 延) as a key reason for lateness, but it's not simply a time management issue. Fuschia Sirois, a professor of social and health psychology, believes procrastination often arises from mood management. People put off tasks to avoid dealing with emotions like anxiety, fear, or frustration. It can also be a form of rebellion when faced with boring or uncontrollable tasks.
Is there a solution for latecomers? Researchers suggest creating pre-event deadlines for important occasions like a wedding or catching a flight, so that the extra time can help you avoid being late when unforeseen circumstances arise. You can inform friends, family, and colleagues about your commitment to punctuality and ask for their support in helping you stay on time. For everyday improvement, setting alert son phones for getting ready instead of departure time, breaking tasks into smaller, manageable parts and prioritizing time-flexible tasks can be helpful.
(1)、The underlined words "time optimists" in paragraph 2 refer to people who ____.A、work in an organized manner B、always be punctual C、leave things until the last minute D、have a casual personality(2)、What can we learn from the passage about procrastination?A、It is driven by the desire for perfectionism. B、It is a charming and creative quality in individuals. C、It is always due to a lack of time management skills. D、It may arise from a desire to avoid uncomfortable emotions.(3)、What is a suggested solution for latecomers?A、Allowing enough time for important events. B、Setting departure time alerts on the phone. C、Relying on friends to make plans in advance. D、Prioritizing time-sensitive tasks over flexible ones.(4)、What is the main idea of the passage?A、Ways of strict time management. B、The impact of procrastination on punctuality. C、Benefits of punctuality in daily life. D、Reasons for lateness and strategies to solve it. -

Climate change has been a long-standing issue. The universe's most abundant element, hydrogen(氢), has drawn the scientists' attention and is now on its way to becoming the future of green fuel.
More than $150 billion worth of green hydrogen projects were announced globally in 2020. A
European multinational aerospace corporation has taken the lead in the new sustainable fuel industry. It has designed self-contained hydrogen fuel cell pods(电池舱) that can be attached to the underside of airplane wings, promoting the use of hydrogen fuel for long-distance flights, which aim to achieve zero emissions.
Compared to fossil fuels, hydrogen is a much more eco-friendly fuel. When hydrogen burns, the only by-product is water. However, the traditional way to get hydrogen from natural gas or coal generates considerable carbon emissions. The greenest way is to obtain hydrogen from water using electrolysis(电解) powered by renewable energy, although this process requires so much electricity. The key to making hydrogen competitive with fossil fuels is to lower the production cost.
Also, shipping liquid hydrogen is challenging, given that needs to be chilled to -253℃ to do so.
Japan's Kawasaki Heavy Industries is set to complete the construction of the world's first liquefied hydrogen carrier by early 2021. Most of the world's big hydrogen export projects are looking to ship hydrogen in the form of liquid ammonia(氨), which can be changed to hydrogen and needs to be chilled to only -33 C.
With more and more countries aiming to cut down carbon emissions to solve the issue of global warming, green hydrogen will help decarbonizing(碳减排) industries that can't be electrified hit the targets.
"We could use these circumstances, where loads of public money are going to be needed into the energy system, to jump forward towards a hydrogen economy," said Diederik Samsom, who heads the
European Commission's climate cabinet.
(1)、What is the strength of the hydrogen fuel?A、It is convenient to store. B、It works very efficiently. C、It is environmentally friendly. D、It produces no by-product(2)、What is the challenge when shipping liquid hydrogen?A、The required temperature. B、The expensive cost of shipping. C、The construction of liquefied carriers. D、Changing it to the form of liquid ammonia.(3)、Which industries will benefit from green hydrogen most?A、Those making hydrogen. B、Those generating electricity. C、Those funded by public money. D、Those powered by fossil fuels.(4)、What is the most suitable title for the passage?A、Fueling a Green Future B、Living a Green Life C、Shipping Liquid Hydrogen D、Making Hydrogen Competitive -

When I first heard about Summit Learning, I admitted I was not a bit happy and excited at all. I thought it would require interactions with others. But later, I was astonished when I got to experience it firsthand.
Recently, we did a poetry project, and one of the activities was a peer review. I would never have taken part if it was up to me, as I preferred to work independently. But when I got involved, I found in the experience, I had done something that I thought was nearly impossible it made my poetry better. My partner informed me of my mistakes and told me where I could give more detail.
One of our final products of the project was to present our poetry to the class. I've always loved public speaking but I thought with Summit Learning, I would have fewer chances to speak.
