①Have you got many friends around you? Have you ever complained about not having good friends in your life? If yes, do you think that your own company(陪伴)is not enough to make them happy? As a matter of fact, in order to get along well with others, the first thing you need to do is be friends with yourself.

②Listen to your inner(内心的) voice. Remember that inner voice keeps speaking softly to you about what you really want and need as well as what you do not really want and need. It is time you start listening to it. In order to get to know yourself well, it is important to learn and accept what you want and what you do not want.

Learn to enjoy your own company. You will be surprised to find out how many things you can do by yourself and how much fun you actually have in the process. Reading romantic novels, poetry or science fictions is only a few of the things that you can do by yourself, which can not only offer you hours of enjoyment, but also the chance to get to know yourself better.

Satisfy yourself. Pay special attention to your personal hygiene(个人卫生). Do you often have your hair and nails cut? Follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly to stay in good shape. No matter how busy you are, always find at least an hour per day for yourself to relax either by doing nothing or by doing something that you enjoy.

⑤Learn to respect your own boundaries (底线). Find out what your boundaries are and learn to respect them. You are the only one who knows what you can and what you cannot accept. No one else can point this out to you, or force you to compromise(妥协).

⑥Only by getting along with yourself will you succeed in developing healthy relationships with others.

China sent three astronauts (宇航员) to its space station on Tuesday. The astronauts flew in a rocket called Shenzhou-16. It's the first time a regular (普通的) person from China is going to space. It's really exciting!

The rocket took off from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre. The astronauts flew for more than six hours to reach the space station's central part, Tianhe. Everything went well, and the astronauts were feeling good now.

Many workers from the space program were there to see the rocket launch. Kids played and waved Chinese flags. People said "wow" loudly and wished the astronauts good luck as the rocket went up in smoke.

The crew has Jing Haipeng, who is on his fourth time to go to space. He's with Engineer Zhu Yangzhu and Professor Gui Haichao from Beihang University. Gui Haichao is the first regular person from China to go to space. China was the third country to send human into space.

The Shenzhou-16 crew will meet the Shenzhou-15 crew, who will return to Earth soon. They will do many experiments, and the space station was filled with water, clothes and food earlier this month.

China really wants to make its "space dream" come true. They plan to build a base on the moon by 2030. Lin from CMSA said, "The main goal is to have Chinese astronauts land on the moon and do experiments there."

What it Means: The eyebrow raise is a great sign of interest. People usually use the eyebrow flash in three main ways: 

* The eyebrow flash can skillfully show interest, such as when agreeing to something or thanking someone. It often means "yes" during a conversation. 

* The eyebrow flash can also express interest in a loving way. 

* Or the eyebrow flash can show social interest, such as when two people meet each other. It shows the other person that you are happy to see them. 

Whenever we use the eyebrow flash, we attract people's attention to our face. Teachers and speakers often use it to say, "Listen to this!" or "Look at me!"

The Science: According to a study, the eyebrow flash is thought to be a form of greeting and can be found all over the world. It is said that this gesture is common across all cultures. 

How to Use it: There are many ways to use the eyebrow flash. Here are a few examples: 

* To Express Liking: When you see someone you like or who you want to like you, give them a quick eyebrow flash followed by a warm smile. 

* To Encourage Participation: If you want someone to listen to something you are going to say, raise your eyebrows right before speaking. 

* To Show Interest: Are you curious (好奇)? Your eyebrows are the best way to express it!
