20、hile self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self-esteem, it is impor

21、tant for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths. For example, most people would like to be “A students in every subject. It is not fair for them to label themselves inferior because they have difficulty in some areas. Peoples expectations of themselves must be realistic. Living o

22、n the impossible leads to a sense of inadequacy.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Lets not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfil

23、ling life.21.

27、e following passage:Life really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world wealth at their tiny feet. But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste. If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness, then the rich are a misera

28、ble lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.Dr. Robert Coles, an internationally famous doctor, is the world*s top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-received book on the subject, The Privileged(享有特权的)Ones, and his research shows

29、that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich, says the 53-year-old doctor, such as better health, education and future work expectation. But most important is the quality of family life. Money cannot buy love.”It can

30、 buy a lot of other things, though, and thats where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Their parents over favoring can make them spoiled. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which often makes

31、them feel restless.“But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world, adds Mr. Coles, and they are more self-assured.Todays rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children.
