12.Cures for Damaged ConfidenceMaybe you used to be an ace(顶尖的) student back in high school.But college is a place jam-packed with hundreds,if not thousands,of ace students.(36)G Education experts offer their tips for improving students'confidence at college.
•Take an academic approach to problems.
You'll be surprised how the skills that you use for your studies can also help with your confidence crisis.(37)C This can help to clear your mind and identify where your lack of confidence is coming from.Get a piece of paper and get it off your mind as you write.Don't edit your thoughts.Just get them onto the paper.This will help your subconscious to identify your true feelings.
•(38)B
Societies and clubs are a great way to meet new people and find things to do that aren't just about drinking culture.If your roommates go clubbing regularly but you just don't want to,it's easy to feel left out.But there is no need to.There are a lot of students who aren't into going out all the time,and they are in much a bigger group than they might think.You know yourself best.(39)E
•Share your problems.
Hiding in your dorm and licking your wounds alone may seem like the easiest way to deal with a confidence crisis.But sharing your worries with others can really make a difference sometimes.Reach out to friends or fellow students,because they may have gone through the same things.(40)F Don't suffer in silence.

A.Go clubbing to get involved.
B.Create the social life you want.
C.Create a mind-map of your concerns.
D.So you need to learn to get rid of all that are troubling you.
E.Ask yourself what you can do that will be fun and enjoyable.
F.The key to dealing with these difficulties is to talk about them.
G.Chances are your confidence will be damaged after you go to college.
13.Your house may have an effect on your figure.Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off.You can make your environment work for you instead of against you.Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights.Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating,for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they're in poorly lit places----and so more likely to eat lots of food.If your home doesn't have enough window light,get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors.Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites.In one study,people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing,while cold colors make us feel less hungry.So when it's time to repaint,go blue.
Don't forget the clock----or the radio.People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals.Begin keeping track of the time,and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes.And while you're at it,actually sit down to eat.If you need some help slowing down,turn on relaxing music.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes.Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate.When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one,total intake (摄入) jumps by 14 percent.And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short,wide glass than a tall,skinny glass.
