Have you ever wondered about the secret life of the tasty lobster(龙虾)？In the sea, it is yellow, orange, grey, green, brown or even blue. Cooking turns it red.

    Lobsters are nocturnal creatures(夜行物)，so it is best to hunt(捕捉) them at night when they are active. You can catch lobster by hand, but you should wear thick gloves because lobster's claws are strong. A very large lobster could break your finger.

    Interestingly, in the past, lobsters were only served to prisoners as they were considered as a poor man's food. Nowadays, lobsters are an expensive and popular dish.

    ⑴We are living in a world full of competition. Parents compete with others in their offices, our brothers and sisters compete with others in their colleges, and we compete with our classmates in schools. Most of us give up facing competition and will never be successful. Why can't we do better than others? One important reason is that we have no self﹣confidence.

    ⑵事实上，人人生而平等。You can do what others do. Your classmates may be better than you in some ways, but you may be better than them in other subjects. So everyone has his or her advantages.

    ⑶Don't look at things from a single point of view. Try to discover your own advantages, and believe that you can do better than others in those ways.

    Competition is not so terrible. ⑷不要害怕那些比你更优秀的同学。

    ⑸Remember that self﹣confidence is the first step to success. Believe in yourselves, and you will be successful in any competition.
