Or do you feel shy? In any case, you should increase your confidence at social events.Whenever you are meeting new people at any social event, you should wear proper clothes. Before you attend the event, try to find out how other people will be dressing. If everyone else is wearing business clothes, you should, too. If the event is informal, you should wear informal clothes so that you fit in.If you are going to meet people from a certain business or profession, try looking through a few professional magazines or checking on the Internet ahead of time to get some conversation ideas which are related to their fields of interest. This can prevent you getting tongue-tied at the event.When you are at the event, dont worry about whether or not other people you are talking with like you. Instead, try your best to find reasons to like them.When you are making conversation with people, be sure to keep good eye contact, and make your facial expression soft. Nod to show youre listening. Let your face and body relax so that you can make natural gestures.After the event is over, take a bit of time to think of your social performance and the conversation you had with people. Tell yourself exactly what you did very well at the event. For example, perhaps you made a big effort to really listen to the people you were talking with,or you may have asked several people some good questions that really got them talking. By doing so, your conversation confidence will gradually improve.1. What should you find out before attending a social event? A. how other people will be dressing.

How to take part in social events. B. How to believe in ourselves in daily life. C. How to be more confident at social events. D. How to get along with others at social events.BTry this: For an entire day, forget about the clock. Eat when youre hungry and sleep when youre tired. What do you think will happen?You may be surprised to find that your day is much like most other days. Youll probably get hungry when you normally eat and tired when you normally sleep. Even though you dont know what time it is, your body does.These patterns of daily life are called circadian rhythms（生理节奏）, and they are more than just habits. Inside our bodies are several clocklike systems that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle. Throughout the day and night, our inner clocks direct changes in temperature, body chemicals, hunger, sleepiness and more.Everyones rhythms are different, which is why you might like to stay up late while your sister always wants to go to bed early. But on the whole, everyone is programmed to fell tired at night and energetic during the day.Learning about our body clocks may help scientists understand why problems arise when we act out of step with our circadian rhythms. For example, traveling across time zones can make people wake up in the middle of the night. Regularly staying up late can make kids do worse in tests.“There is a growing sense that when we eat and when we sleep are important parts of how healthy we are,” says Steven Shea, director of the Sleep Disorders Program at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston.One way to learn about how our body clocks tick is to mess them up and see what happens. Thats what neurologist（神经病学家）Frank Scheer and his workmates did in a recent study.Staying up night after night, their studies suggest, could make kids extra hungry and more likely to gain weight. And regularly sleeping too little, Scheer says, may be one cause of the recent increase in childhood obesity. 5. What will happen if you forget about the clock according to the passage?A. You will feel upset. B. You will behave normally.C. Your body will not know what time it is. D. You will probably get hungry m
