Liu Xiang, super star in the Asian Games, arrived on Tuesday morning, looking to retaining the men’s 110m hurdles champion and breaking his own Asian record.

The 23-year-old Chinese star, who shattered the world record when he clocked 12.88 seconds at an IAAF meet(国际业余田径会) in Lausanne last July, is expected to round off(圆满) his sizzling season in style with a second Asian Games gold. “Liu’s aim at Doha is to reach 13.20 seconds,” said Liu’s coach Sun Haiping. That meant Liu would break the Asian Games record of 13.27 seconds set by Liu himself at the Bussan Asian Games in South Korea in 2002.

“Everything is fine. It feels so good to come with many athletes to attend the Doha Asian Games. You got a lot of people to chat with,” Liu said. Liu said he watched Doha Asian Games matches on TV in China. “China now tops the gold medal list. I am excited about this.”

Liu, now a world star, was approached by many people for photo opportunities with him from the very start of his flight journey. Liu first came into international spotlight in Bussan Asian Games after grabbing the 110m  hurdles champion when he scored a runaway(压倒性的)victory with the games record of 13.27 seconds.

He then became the first Chinese man to win a track and field Olympic gold medal after historically taking the Olympic champion at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.

“A lot of things changed during the past several years,” Liu said. “But I wish people would treat me like before.” Liu is expected to win easily at Doha, and the only suspense(悬念)is his new Asian Games record.

As a shining international star, Liu’s appearance at the 15th Asian Games is expected to draw lots of attention.

What color do you like best? Do you like yellow, orange and red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are likely to be strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists (心理学家)tell us. They have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effects that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you do so as soon as you open your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

  Black is depressing while light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one does, and a red dress adds warmth and cheer to sad winter days. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark grey.

  Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a few colorful things. Also remember that you will know your friends (and your enemies) better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about you when you choose a piece of handkerchief.
