    As we all know, self-confidence is the first key to success. So we often say, "Where there is a will, there is a way."

However, confidence isn't something you have to be born with—it can be learned. What can we do to become a confident person? I'd like to share some secrets with you.

Secret 1 Make confident friends.

Confidence can spread. I have a ton of confidence that comes from friends. They love and believe in me, and they are confident themselves. If you're less confident, find friends who feel good about themselves. They can make you feel good about yourself too.

— Li Guoqing

Secret 2 Show it till you feel it.

Just walking with your head held high and a smile on your face make people think you have all the confidence in the world. If you're always slouchy( 垂头丧气的), people will think you are shy and unconfident.

— Zhang Chenggong

Secret 3 Believe in yourself.

If you listen to your heart, you're not letting others tell you what you can or can't do. You naturally have confidence because you're doing what you believe in and know is right.

—Liu Xu

    Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰)from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much. 1..

After several months, the king came to see how the training was going on. 2., while the other was staying on the branch of a tree quietly, just keeping still.

The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly.3..

One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem. He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.

The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely."4.!" shouted the king. "How could you make it happen?"

The farmer replied, "It's very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested."

Plastic snow falls from the sky.

When you think of the Arctic(北冰洋), you may imagine an icy land of white snow. And some people may imagine it as the last really clean place left on Earth. In fact, we have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish, and now, CNN says, "It's the Arctic's turn."

German scientists have recently found microplastics in Arctic snow. Microplastics are pieces of plastic smaller than 5 millimeters. Sadly, the scientists found 1,800 pieces of microplastics per liter(升) of snow. That may cause terrible air pollution.

How is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic? According to scientists, "It's clear that most of the microplastics in the snow come from the air. They fall off plastic objects and are moved by the wind. They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow."

Are they bad for us? We do know that our bodies cannot take in "large" pieces of microplastics. However, if the plastics are small enough, they can find ways into our bodies and stay there for a long time, which can be bad for our health.

Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world. Research has found that they flow over long distances and into our oceans, damaging ecosystems(生态环境) along the way. When we wash clothes with plastic fibers(纤维), they start in our wastewater. The wastewater then flows into rivers and out to sea. They are eaten by sea animals there. If people then eat these animals, it means that we're eating the plastic as well.

    Movie theaters all over China were closed because of the COVID-19. So Lost in Russia became the first Chinese film to premiere (首映) online.
