　　Our sensitivity to physical beauty is not something we can control at will. We are born with it. Experiments showed that even small infants prefer to look at attractive faces. Before they have met a single supermodel, before they have watched a single TV show, before they have opened up a single fashion magazine, they are drawn to the same faces which adults have judged to be attractive.
　　我们对外在美的敏感，不是可以控制自如的。我们天生就这么敏感。心理学家朱迪丝蓝洛斯的实验显示，就连小婴儿也喜欢看漂亮的脸。他们从来没有见过超级名模、没看过电视节目，也没翻开过时尚杂志，却已经受到大人也认为有魅力的脸庞所吸引。

　　There are more important things in life than beauty. But as Etcoff says, "We have to understand beauty, or we will always be enslaved by it." If you aim to be wise and kind and funny, it doesn't mean that you can't also try your best to look beautiful. There's no reason to feel guilty about being moved by beauty's power. It moves us all.
　　人生中有比美丽更重要的事，但就如艾特考夫所说：“我们必须了解美，否则我们永远都会是它的奴隶。”如果你的目标是要聪明、仁慈又风趣，这并不代表你就不能尽力让自己变得漂亮。被美的力量感动，并不需要有罪恶感，因为所有的人都受它感动。

　　Chatting on the Internet can be a fun and exciting experience. Often, chat rooms are divided into topics so that users can find “chat friends” with common interests. People from all over the world can enter the same chat room, so it is very easy to “meet” people from different countries. Some chat friends actually meet in real life and become real friends. A number of others even start dating!
　　网上聊天的经历可以是有趣又刺激的。通常各聊天室是按主题来区分，所以用户可以找到有相同嗜好的聊友。世界各地的人都可以进入同一个聊天室，所以很容易“遇见”来自不同国家的人。其实有些网友会在现实生活中见面而成为真正的朋友，有些甚至就开始约会了。
