THE REAL ME

                                      Mutual gaze increases the feeling of love

  Are you looking for love? Throw away your books about love. A long mutual gaze is the best way to let Cupid's arrows hit their marks. This is said by an American psychologist.

  One day, the psychologist saw a young couple in a small coffeehouse. The man and the woman looked into each other's eyes for a long time without saying a word. The two were clearly in love with each other. Later, the psychologist wanted to see whether he could make people fall in love. He instructed volunteers--men and women who were complete strangers--to gaze into their partners' eyes for two minutes. It worked like magic. "mutual eye-to-eye contact really increased feelings of attraction, interest, warmth, and excitement for each other," says the psychologist.

  Was mutual gazing in fact the key? The psychologist told some of the couples to look at each other's hands. He also made some of them look into the eyes of their partners while their partners looked at their hands. He found these couples were not as interested in each other as the couples that gazed into each other's eyes.

  Why does mutual gazing increase attraction? The psychologist believes that when we imitate acts of love, our feelings begin to follow the example. "Generally, the more you act as you are in love, the more you will be in love. But the gaze must be real. Both people must take part in it."

                                The Secret of Life

     As the Lord God was creating the world he called upon his archangels. The Lord asked his archangels to help him decide where to put the Secret of Life. "Bury it in the ground," one angel replied. "Put it on the bottom of the sea," said another. "Hide it in the mountains," another suggested. The Lord replied, "If I see to do any of those, only a few will find the Secret of Life. The Secret of Life must be accessible to EVERYONE!" One angle replied, "I know: put it in each man's heart. Nobody will think to look there." "Yes!" said the Lord. "Within each one's heart." And so it was--The SECRET OF LIFE lies within all of us.

On 3rd November, my boyfriend and I took part in the IELTS examination in Beijing Language College. We were a little late because of the traffic jam. When we got to Beijing Language College, it was almost 8:25. The gatekeeper said that taxi was not allowed to go into the college that day, so we had to run to the Teaching Building One and there was still a long way to go. I could not run fast because I have not do exercises regularly for ages. My boyfriend ran ahead of me, about 5 metres. After he checked his room number, he told me he had to enter the building whereas I just arrived at the newsletter. I checked my room number, and rushed into the gate of the building. The examiner told me that there was only 1 minute left. When I went upstairs, I was exhausted.

After we finished the examination, I asked my boyfriend why did he run so quickly and leave me behind. If he could hold me hand and run together, maybe I could run faster. We had participated in the examination before, and we went into the gate of the teaching building together that time. I asked him if it was due to we were late, so he went away on his own. He said: who set the rule that we must go into the gate of the teaching building together. Although I wasn't late at last, I am unhappy and sad. A friend in deed is a friend in need. I think this is also suitable to lovers. I think he don't love really me. When we meet some handicap, we are able to tell who is really love you and who is not. Next year, my boyfriend and I will further our study in Melbounre. I don't wanna be with him anymore. He don't love me, there is no true love between us, I think. I am so disppointed.
