My summer travel started terribly. I was at the Shanghai Railway Station buy a ticket to Hang Zhou. I was going to visit a friend here and after that I would go to Xiamen for long holiday. I bought my ticket but turned around to pick up my bag from the floor and then I realized that someone has stolen it. Unluckily, I had all my money in my pocket, but the only clothes I had was those I had on. It was very strange to travel without any luggages. When I finally arrived at my friend, he lent me lots of clothes. I felt very happy about that I could change my clothes at last.

How to Be Confident
We are all human and have weaknesses. Even if your physical appearance or social skills aren’t what you wish they were, that doesn’t have to stop you from being confident. 1._____
*Make a list of special talents you have, or things you do that are good—morally（道德上） or otherwise. It doesn’t have to be a specific skill；it can be an approach or an attitude that you hold through life. 2.____ Are you very patient with people? Do you always see the humorous side of things? Are you always there for your friends?
*3._____ When you feel strongly about something, speak loudly and clearly and make eye contact with people. People will judge you all the time, and usually they’ll misjudge you anyway, so why bother trying to live up to their opinions at all?
*Take care of yourself. Eat a healthy diet and get enough exercise. Don’t abuse your body, don’t overload it, and don’t deny it any of the things it needs. At the same time, don’t obsess(沉迷). 4.____ Those things are only band-aids(权宜之计） and make-up. Confidence comes from within. In order to be confident, you must value yourself and understand that your well-being is important.
*Improve your posture. 5._____ Don’t drop your shoulders. Make sure that your back is straight, your shoulders are square, and your chest sticks out slightly (but stay loose, otherwise you’ll appear stubborn （固执的）and nervous). Good posture also helps with deep breathing, which helps with feeling calm and relaxed.
A. Here’s how to believe in yourself.
B. But smiling at yourself in the mirror helps you to love yourself, thus making you a bit more confident.
C. Buying all the moisturizers (润肤霜) and creams will not bring you closer to who you want to be.
D. It is surprising how powerful the simple step of taking action can be.
E. Do you always stay calm, cool and collected, even in hurried situations?
F. Having good posture can actually make you feel more confident.
G. Know that you have important things to say and do.
