9、munity residence, where Kris still cooks for her husband.The ongoing effort to keep them together reminds Pauls mother, of all the obstacles they have overcome.

10、 a marriage lasting a quarter century.Kris has had her struggles too. Then and now, she still encounters the occasional stranger who laughs at her abnormal behavior. The truth is that those people have no idea how rich and rewarding her life is. They cannot see the commitment that lasts after 25 yea

15、xhibition in San Francisco.“I think there are a lot of meanings behind the paintings. You can tell that its trying to show cultural things and not just a picture,” Millstein says. Having studied Chinese for three years, Millstein, a high school student in the San Francisco Bay Area, says she loves C
16、hinese culture.The exhibition, The Flying Colors, presented more than 60 pieces of Chinese ink paintings by a local artist, Arthur Ku, at San Francisco City Hall recently.“Arthur Ku is a well-known painter, calligrapher, and artist; his endless devotion to the art community has undoubtedly contribut
17、ed to the vitality (活力) of San Francisco,” the mayor said in the announcement.Ku was born in Guangdong province in 1941 and settled down in the United States in 1977. He has been exploring the “splash ink and color” style, which is a technique of working with splashy (泼墨), colorful washes to create
18、an abstract, expressive style. Kus artistic talent in traditional Chinese brush and ink painting inspired a unique style of down-to-earth and creative freedom, which created a critical attempt of traditional Chinese brush painting into modern and contemporary art, according to mayors statement.Ku is
19、 also keen to promote cultural and artistic exchanges between China and the US to improve art and friendship. He has successfully held several joint painting exhibitions in the US for artists from China.“I think inclusiveness brings unity and diversity brings vitality. We are now living in the most

24、s are real, just from the sound of your voice.As anyone has woken up with a runny nose and a sore throat, infection with the common cold virus change how a persons voice sounds. That is because the tissue in vocal cord (声带) temporarily swells (肿胀) and, therefore, shakes at a lower pitch (音阶), which
25、tends to make people with a cold develop a deeper voice.A research team in Surat, India, tried to find exactly how a “cold voice” differs from a healthy voice. Their research makes use of the fact that human speech does not produce single frequencies of sounds. The dominant notes in the human voice
26、are instead accompanied by a series of higher pitched tones.Together these sets of notes fit into mathematical patterns called harmonics (和声), with higher pitched tones having frequencies that are multiples of the original note. The loudness of these harmonics in speech has to do with the frequency
27、scale.To find out how infection with a cold might change the frequency, the scientists made use of an unusual resource: recordings of the voices of 630 people in Germany, 111 of whom were suffering from a cold. Each was asked to count from 1 to 40 and describe what they did at the weekend.By breakin
28、g down each persons speech into component wave lengths, the researchers could identify the dominant frequency in each case. They then used machine-learning calculation to find frequency changing patterns that could distinguish the cold voices from the healthy voices.The Indian teams diagnosis (诊断) o

34、loser the more time they spend together, this wasnt true at work. 17 This is likely because when we only focus on work, we dont reveal anything about ourselves. If you want to make friends at work, stop talking about work. 18 Friendship is not built from one interaction; it grows gradually. We uncon
