Even if you are naturally shy, these three tricks will help you to quickly build a new social circle in any new city．

 1．Take pictures

   One of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with a person．Everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves，and it’s very easy after taking a picture to say “If you’d like I can email it to you”．This can be the seed that leads to new connections．The next time you hear about a fun event email your new contacts to let them know about it．

 2．Eat alone in public

   You might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit：you are much easier to approach when you are alone．People may be afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else．Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make  you feel less self-conscious)．Plus，having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they’ve read it．

 3．Join a class，sports team，or club

    Yoga，salsa dancing，volleyball，Toastmasters (a public speaking club)，a class for work，etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one!

   These are all great places to meet new people，primarily because you will be forced to see the same people over and over again in the class．You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see each other again．

 Tips：

   * In the beginning．never turn down an invitation from someone，even if it’s something you wouldn’t normally do．

   * Email your new friends with fun things to do instead of always asking what their plans are, If they have a better plan you can drop (放弃) yours and join them．This will help establish（建立） you as someone who is contributing value instead of just taking it (people want this in a friend) ．

*Don’t let little things in life upset you or be a negative person．People don’t want to be around someone like that！

2.According to the text，which of the following is NOT mentioned as an advantage of joining a class?

  B．It helps you find out people who share a common interest with you．

  C．It offers an opportunity to meet the same people repeatedly．

  D．It is a good way to meet new people and make friends in a new city．

3.Which of the following pieces of advice is a tip from the text?

 A．Try to be outgoing and talkative instead of being shy．

B．Never turn down an invitation from your friends．

 C．Offer suggestions on how to spend time together．

 D．Don’t give a negative response to any request．

    You hear this，“No wonder you are fat．All you ever d0 is eat．”You feel sad．“I skip my breakfast and supper．I run every morning and evening．What else can I do?”

    Basically you can do nothing．Your genes，not your life habits，determine your weight and your body constantly tries to maintain it．

    Albert Stunkard of the University of Pennsylvania found from experiments that“80 percent of the children of two fat parents become fat，as compared with no more than 14．percent of the children of two parents of normal weight．”   

    How can obese people become thinner through dieting? Well，dieting can be effective．but the health costs are great．

    Jules Hirsch，a research physician at Rockefeller University，did a study of eight fat people．They were．given a liquid formula（配方）providing 600 calories a day．After more than 10 weeks，the subjects lost on average 45 kg．But after leaving the hospital，they all regained the weight．

    The results were surprising：by metabolic（新陈代谢的）measurement，fat people who lost large amounts of weight seemed like they were starving．They had psychiatric problems．They dreamed of food or of breaking their diet They were anxious and depressed．Some wanted to kill themselves．They hid food in their rooms．

    Researchers warn that it is possible that weight reduction doesn’t result in normal weight，but in an abnormal state lust like that of starved non．obese people．   

    Thin people, however，suffer from the opposite．They have to make a great effort to gain weight  Ethan Sims of the University of Vermont got prisoners to volunteer to gain weight．In four to six months—they ate as much as they could．They succeeded in increasing their weight by 20 to 25 percent. But months after the study ended，they were back to normal weight and stayed there．

    This did not mean that people are completely without hope in controlling their weight．It means that those who tend to be fat will have to constantly battle their genetic inheritance（遗传）if they want to significantly 1ower their weight．

    The findings also provide evidence for something scientists thought was true—each person has a comfortable weight range．The range might be as much as 9kg．Someone might weigh 60--69kg without too much effort．But，going above or below the natural weight range is difficult.The body resists by feeling hungry or full and changing．the metabolism to push the weight back to the range it seeks．
