听力原文: Today we're going to talk about shyness and discuss recent research on ways to help children learn to get along with others socially.
Many people consider themselves shy. In fact, forty percent of people who took part in our survey said they were shy--that's two out of every five people. And there are studies to indicate that the tendency toward shyness may be inherited. But certain timid children doesn't mean that they are bound to be shy forever. There is something parents, teachers, and the children themselves can do to overcome this tendency--and even to prevent it.
Our researchers found that if parents gently push their shy children to try new things, they can help these children become less afraid and less inhibited. Another way to help shy children is to train them in social skills. For example, there are special training programs where children are taught things like looking at other children while talking to them, talking about others' interests, and even smiling.
These groups have been very successful in giving shy children a place to feel safe and accepted, and building up their self-esteem.

Re: Doing our part
Dear Mr. Cobalt:
I'm writing to you to express my concern about Pascal's reputation as a wasteful company. I'm sure you read the recent letter to the editor in the Sydney Daily News regarding our non-recyclable plastic bottles and caps. Since the letter was printed, (150) have received complaints from hundreds of customers who are threatening to boycott our company if we don't change our practices. We have also received flyers from (151) manufacturing companies offering to help us become a more environmentally friendly company. ! have looked briefly into some of these options on my own time but would like to ask your permission to do more.
I would like (152) 20 hours of my upcoming workweek to this cause in hopes of coming up with a viable plan for Pascal's future as a company that cares about recycling, I hope you will agree with me that our environment is worth us making an effort. Please respond as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Geraldine Bennett, Administrative Assistant
Pascal's Pharmaceuticals

M: Sure. But I don't have any information about the recent films. What about you?
W: Well, my workmate tells me that "Harry Porter and His Magic Stone" will be on:
M: What's that?
W: I don't know. It is said that kids like it a lot.
M: Perhaps you can take our son here. It's boring for me to sit there for two hours.
W: Oh, you're that kind of man. Um, a violent film called "The Most wanted" will also be on at the same time. Maybe you can come with us.
M: That's a clever idea. I like American films very much. We can go to the same cinema and come home together, but watch different films.

At the root of the problem is an inability to regulate behavior. and control impulses—say, drinking more than you had intended when you sat down at the bar. "If you're quite impulsive then you're unable to protect one intention from another," says Timothy A. Pychyl, the leader of the Procrastination Research Group who is also a psychologist and co-author of the study. Things can get worse when tasks are impersonal or out of one's control. "Most assignments are not things that students initiated themselves," he says. "They can lack meaning for that reason."
Giving a procrastinator a hand-held organizer probably won't change habits in the long term. "It's not about time management," Dr. Pychyl says. "Some people will buy a day planner, fill it in and say that's it for today. It becomes part of the procrastination itself."
Such tardiness is not unusual. In one survey, 70 percent of the students confessed to academic tardiness. Some favorite excuses are computer failure, leaving a paper at home and the death of a grandmother.

A.they get more cold and flu symptoms
