Or do you feel shy? In any case, you should increase your confidence at social events. Whenever you are meeting new people at any social event, you should wear proper clothes. Before you attend the event, try to find out how other people will be dressing. If everyone else is wearing business clothes, you should, too. If the event is informal, you should wear informal clothes so that you fit in.

You’ ll probably get hungry when you normally eat and tired when you normally sleep. Even though you don’ t know what time it is, your body does. These patterns of daily life are called circadian rhythms（生理節(jié)奏） , and they are more than just habits. Inside our bodies are several clocklike systems that follow a roughly 24hour cycle. Throughout the day and night, our inner clocks direct changes in temperature, body chemicals, hunger, sleepiness and more. Everyone’ s rhythms are different, which is why you might like to stay up late while your sister always wants to go to bed early. But on the whole, everyone is programmed to fell tired at night and energetic during the day. Learning about our body clocks may help scientists understand why problems arise when we act out of step with our circadian rhythms.
