22、ple are nervous when talking to new people. After all meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And its human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about unknown. Most of our fears about dealing with new people comes from doubts about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us, finding us too

23、tall or too short, too this or too that. But dont forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you are, and try to put the other person at ease.

29、major challenge in ecology,” said the researches of several U.S. universities.
