I once had a hard time making a living in France. It was one night three years ago, I felt an intense(强烈的) need to meet people so I went to the cinema. Outside the cinema was a woman with long dirty gray hair asking for money. I reached for my wallet but then something made me stop and enter into a conversation with her. I said, “Look, all the women going to the cinema here are seeing a film that can change your life. I’d rather buy you a ticket than give you money.”
She hesitated（犹豫） for a moment and then came in with me. She hid behind me because, she said, the people running the theater didn’t like her. I got her a ticket and she sat next to me. There were about 80 women there. I noticed some of them were turning around and looking at me with expressions of surprise and curiosity(好奇心).
I encouraged the poor woman to come the following night to an event where there would be many representatives(代表) of various social services. I thought they could be of some help to her. She did come and I was able to direct her to an agency that helped women in her situation. At that time, a woman came toward me and said, “Are you the person who bought a ticket for the woman outside the theater asking for handouts?” When I said yes, she said, “I want you to come to the community center where I work. I want the other employees there to meet you.”
This was the beginning of a deep friendship and colleague relationship. I now have a great job and have more work than I’ve ever had in my 20 years in France. And the woman I took to the cinema that night? I learned that she was not homeless and that she was a secretary.

What Is Shyness?
Shyness means feeling a little scared(恐惧的) when you’re around other people. Everybody may feel shy sometimes.
But being shy isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel comfortable with new people and new situations. In fact, it can even be helpful to be a little shy. When you’re shy, you may spend a little more time observing(观察) things before jumping into them.
What Causes Shyness?
Some kids are born shy. Some weren’ t shy as little kids, but it’s possible for them to be shy people. You might have learned to be shy because of experiences you’ve had at school or home. And sometimes you only feel shy for a short while, like the first time you get on a new school bus. This type of shyness often goes away after you get used to it.
Can Shyness Be Serious?
Sometimes, people become so shy that they are afraid to do simple things in life. Some people are so shy about meeting new people that they seldom go outside. Doctors can often help a person work through this kind of shyness.
If your shyness is keeping you from doing things you want to do, talk to someone about it. Parents, teachers, and doctors are all good people to turn to. Talking about your shyness might help you manage it. Your friends or parents may tell you that they, too, have the same shy feeling and what they do to feel less shy.
If you know someone who’s shy, try to help the person feel less nervous. Laughing will make your friend feel even more shy. The more time you spend with the person, the less shy he or she will feel around you.
