On a rainy weekend in March, Hangzhou in Zhejiang welcomed a special group of guests. From March 23 to 24, 31 young people from 30 countries and regions gathered in the city, sharing their experiences and exchanging ideas at the Belt and Road Youth English Speaking Competition.
During this competition, young contestants had conversations about each other's cultures. They also shared their impressions of China and its development so far. In the final, six contestants gave speeches with a theme of The Great Truth is Simple.
Contestant Nicol Yong Jia Jia from Malaysia won the championship. She said she thinks people's "great truth" comes from their hearts. By this, she means that people can look at negative situations in a positive light. For example, she is rather short, but she looks at her height in a humorous way. "I actually think I'm pretty tall. You are just taller," she said.
Momo-Carol Kavani Ako from Papua New Guinea looked to a well-known saying in her speech. The "great truth" she talked about is the idea that "No man is an island". She pointed out that people from around the world have made progress and survived by working with each other and helping each other out.
Chinese contestant Chen Qiyu. who was the first runner-up. focused on something more specific(具体的). She talked about the secret to being a good writer and speaker.

Do you want to keep away from colds? You must say, "Of course". Now, first, please put on a happy face.
A new study shows that happy and relaxing people seem to fall ill less often than those unhappy people. "It's possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses," said the researcher Sheldon Cohen from New York University(大学). In an earlier study, Cohen found that cheerful and lively people caught coughs and colds less often. People's feelings seemed to affect their health. In this study, Cohen interviewed(采访) 193 adults(成人) every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers that the doctors asked them to stay alone in a room for six days because of the cold.
The results showed the people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illness were less serious and lasted for a shorter time. Cohen believes that when people have good feelings, their body may make a chemical, and it can help fight illnesses and diseases.
So if you are worried about your health, look on the bright side more often. Just as the old saying goes, "A coin has two sides".
