27、mer survey examining the childrens and teenagers book markets was conducted by Bruno 22% were 18-19 years old, 28% were 30-44 years old and 50% were 45 years old and older. Most were married (79%); 21% were single, divorced or widowed. The teen sample included 53 girls and 47 boys. Fifty-seven were
28、in the 12-14 age range, 43 in the 15-17 age range. Twenty-four teens were interviewed by telephone and 76 were interviewed in shopping malls across the country. To shed some light on the childrens and teen book market, PW and BookExpo America examined consumer trends among childrens and teenage book
29、 buyers. The survey evaluated what kinds of childrens and teenage books consumers choose, how they choose them and where they go to buy them. The findings paint a positive picture of Americas younger generations of readers and point optimistically toward a future country of book lovers. Judging from
30、 responses, adults who buy childrens books believe that books play an important role in a childs development. Consequently, the majority childrens book buyers take seriously the process of choosing books for children. For their part, teens feel that “reading is cool“ and “makes you smarter“. An anal

Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; that they feel it confirms their inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliments because they believe they are
35、unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a compliment with a statement like this one: “Youre just saying that to make me feel good. I know its not true. “It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least red
36、uced? 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 important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. For example, most people would like to be “A“ st
37、udents 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 on the impossible leads to a sense of inadequacy. Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual. We are intereste
38、d in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential.
