When Mark was 8,his third grade teacher announced a class spelling contest；the prize was attractive
to him and he wanted to win the contest badly.
In honor of the spelling contest,Mark finally agreed to a haircut.Before he changed his mind,I quickly
took him to the barbershop.I used to find various prizes,like a weekend trip or a new music CD,to get him there every time his hair was long.
"Make it a lucky cut,"I instructed barber Joe."Mark is competing in an important spelling contest next
week."
"Well,did you do your homework?"barber Joe asked.
"Yes,"Mark replied.
"Did you study hard?"barber Joe asked.
"Yes,"Mark replied.
"Do you have confidence?"barber Joe asked.
"Confidence.C－O－N－F－I－D－E－N－C－E.Confidence.A lot of people spell that word
wrong,"Mark explained.
"Sure.You can spell it,"baber Joe responded."But do you have it?You have got to have confidence in
yourself,son.It's a winner's secret weapon (武器). "
Mark won the spelling contest and got the prize-a free pizza lunch.And Mark never forgot barber Joe's words:"You have got to have confidence in yourself,son.It's a winner's secret weapon."
Decades later,after becoming famous for his special design in buildings,Mark began receiving interview requests.When he discussed his design approach with one particular feature writer,the reporter asked him a question,"You're considered as a special one in the world of architecture.When everyone around says it can't be done,what makes you think you can pull it off?"
After thinking a bit,Mark replied,"Confidence.After I've done my homework,and studied my idea from every possible angle,if I still see it then I know the only thing standing between me and success is
confidence.It's a winner's secret weapon."

George Zimmerman's first court appearance before a Florida judge came on Tuesday in connection with the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The case has caused a national debate in the United States about race, self-defense laws and gun control.
It was the first time the public had gotten to see and hear from George Zimmerman. The judge said he had found probable cause to move ahead with the case and told Zimmerman he would be formally charged on May 29th.
Zimmerman turned himself into authorities on Wednesday night, just before special prosecutor(检举人)Angela Corey announced the charge against him.
Corey told reporters she would fight for Trayvon Martin.
"It’s the victims and justice that we work tirelessly for " Corey said.
Zimmerman says he shot Martin in self-defense after spotting the teenager in a gated community where Martin's father lives. He told police Martin attacked him during a conflict. The shooting caused a national cry led by Martin's parents who insisted their son was murdered. They also accused Zimmerman of targeting their son because he was black.
"We just wanted an arrest and we got it. " Trayvon Martin’s mother Fulton said.
Many in Sanford, Florida ---the city where the shooting took place---welcomed the charge.
"AII of us were wanting this to move on and get to this process where it is now into the Justice system." one man said.
"It was long overdue(迟到的) and I am glad they decided to do something." another said.
Police did not initially charge Zimmerman with a crime because of a Florida law that says a person has a right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force. Prosecutor Corey say:“I'm prepared to argue the issue if Zimmerman uses the self-defense law in count".
Mark O'Mara, Zimmerman’s lawyer, would not make his plan public, but he said his client(委托人) was worried about the trial.
“If found guilty of the second-degree murder charge, Zimmerman could face up to life in prison.", O'Mara said.
66. Why did the case draw so much attention around U.S.A?
