3、d memory(记忆) is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book.

8、 friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name (以.命名）
9、their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools.

In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. Its just a case of how much. Most people have red faces and talk in broken
15、sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they wont go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.If shyness doesnt stop you from doing som
16、ething you want to do, being shy isnt a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are cleverer because they think more and talk less.
