The library is open from 8:00 am to 9:00 pm every day. People can read books, watch video (录像带) and learn new things in it. People can buy things in the supermarket and market.

2 . Being outgoing is good for your life. Those who are more outgoing like to meet lots of people and have more fun in life. In fact, being outgoing is not as hard as you think. Even shy people can be outgoing.

You can start outgoing with your best friend or a group of friends. But the real challenge (挑战) comes when you meet new friends. Smile (笑) more, and usually they will return (回报) your smile. In this way, you may have some talks.

Start a talk. Just a simple “Hello” or “How is it going” is a good start. If you make interesting talks, you should read news in newspaper and prepare (准备) your ideas, or surf the Internet for information (信息) and then keep that in mind.
