Confidence is very important in daily life. It can help you develop a healthy
attitude(态度). A study shows that people who are more confident are much happier. They may have more chances to become successful. But how can we be more confident?
Here are some suggestions:
Speak louder. When you are not confident, it's hard to do what you want to do
well. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak loud enough so people can hear you clearly. Your voice can help you become more
confident.
Play sports. Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. A strong body helps you be full of confidence.
Encourage yourself. Write down a list of things you did during the day to see
how many things you did well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you've done.
Get rid of(消除)fear. Fear goes along with failure. But it's easy to overcome(克服)if you understand that failure is part of life. Don't hide in your head just
because you said something stupid once. Try to start again and believe you can do
better.
Pick up a hobby. If you like singing, sing as much as you can. In some ways,
a hobby can make you excellent. And it will make you happy and confident.
53. How many suggestions does the article talk about?
54. What's the best title(标题)for the article?
55. What do you often do to be more confident? And why?
【2016上海市杨浦区三模】D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 12分)
As soon as people realize that my brother Michael, my sister
Tiffany and I were born on the same day, that we’re triplets, they
ask the strangest questions. But no, we can’t read each other’s
minds. We don’ｔ have the same dreams. And I can promise you that
we don’t always get along. These are the things I get asked most
often when people meet me for the first time.
Although there are lots of good things about being a triplet, one thing I really don’t like is when people think of us as one person - ‘MichaelDesireeTiffany’
