A European Union program is letting blind people experience famous paintings for the first time. It uses three dimensional (3-D) printing to re-create famous paintings so they can be touched.
One painting printed with the new technology is Gustav Klimt’s “The Kiss”. It is a popular attraction at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, Austria. The painting shows a man and a woman standing in a field filled with flowers. They are wearing gold robes and have their arms around each other. The man leans down to kiss the woman.
Klimt finished the painting in 1908. Until now, people who had trouble seeing could not appreciate the artwork. But thanks to the reproduction they can touch the piece and feel the ridges and depressions. Andreas Reichinger started making 3-D versions of artwork in 2010. He said this reproduction was his most difficult project because the couple’s robes are so detailed.
Dominika Raditsch is a blind museum visitor. She touched the reproduction. As she moved her hands around it she said, “Exactly, can you see these There are so many details. ” Raditsch said she can imagine what the original painting looks like when she touches the reproduction. “It’s somehow round. You can feel it. It comes with it. And in many places it’s so smooth. And then I think to myself: it probably shines too! ” Raditsch said.
The Belvedere is not the only museum to have 3-D versions of its artwork. Some of the pieces at the Prado, in Madrid, Spain, have reproductions that can be touched. But the piece in Vienna has one special part: it is made with widely available 3-D printing technology. That means one day, blind art fans anywhere in the world could download the source files and print the reproductions themselves.

Papercutting is a very special visual art of Chinese handicrafts. One saying is that it originated from the religious ceremony or offering sacrifices (供品). The ancient people cut papers into animals or people. They either buried them with the dead or burned them on the funerals, wishing that things that paper stands for could be with the dead. Later, they were used during festivals to decorate gates and windows. After hundreds of years’ development, now they have become a very popular means of decoration among country folk, especially women.
It is easy to learn about cutting a piece of paper but very difficult to master it with perfection. Beginners need only a knife and paper. For craftsmen, they need knives and gravers of various types to make complicated (复杂的) patterns. It can be one piece of paper or many pieces. Simple patterns can be cut with a knife. For complicated patterns, people first pasted the pattern on the paper and then used various kinds of knives to make it. No mistake can be made during the process otherwise the work would fail.
Papercutting covers nearly all topics, from flowers, birds, animals, legendary people, figures in classic novels, to types of facial make-up in Peking opera. Papercutting has various styles in different parts of China. In the past, women living in the countryside gathered in their free time to make papercutting, which is a way to judge their skillfulness. As society develops, fewer and fewer people learn this skill while there are some who still regard it as a profession. At present, there are factories and associations for papercutting in China. Exhibitions and exchanges are held regularly and books of this kind are published. Papercutting has changed from decoration to a kind of art. At the same time, papercutting also appears in cartoons, on stage, in magazines or in TV series.

To find an entrance to the deserted plant without being noticed, George Wilson sneaked around the fence, a bag on his back and his hands in his pockets.
However, George thought twice when a guard dog appeared. “I’m not afraid of the gatekeeper—at least I can try to persuade him. But a dog Forget it. I’ll find another way. ” While planning his special visit to the plant, the 25-year-old man did some research, but still failed to locate the entrance.
George is among the thousands who are crazy about “taking adventures”, which they call urban exploration, or “urbex”. The aim is to explore structures—usually abandoned ruins or “hidden parts of the man-made environments”.
One of the most common examples of urban exploration is venturing into abandoned structures, which usually include amusement parks, factories, power plants, missile silos, fallout shelters, hospitals, asylums, schools and houses.
Urban explorers are interested in visiting such sites, as they can discover “other parts of a city” and get to understand its history from a different angle.
George, who worked for a German company in New York for six months, said he enjoyed the contrast between the city’s two sides—modern and crowded, compared with old-fashioned and silent—and wanted to learn more about the city during his short stay.
George said that he was able to finally sneak in through another entrance, yet he was still asked to leave by a gatekeeper shortly after. But he then managed to get into a newly-built block, climbed to the top and took a picture of the factory ruins at sunset.
“I will come back another day, ” he said.

(2021·济宁高二检测)
We all experience momentary bursts of anger every now and then. For the most part, though, these relatively minor annoyances are easy to deal with, but walking back your anger when you’re having a heated conversation with someone is a lot more difficult. There are things you can do in the moment to calm yourself, though.
Acknowledge that you’re angry.
When you’re angry, you notice it in your body. 1 If you’re not physically feeling it, you might hear it in the sound of your voice.
Once you notice this, try to adjust your voice. Just as increasing anger can correspond to an increasingly loud voice, so can the opposite. 2
Give yourself a time out(暂停).
How do you do the exercise above when you’re in the middle of a face-to-face conversation Call a personal time out. Walking away gives you time to calm down and collect your thoughts before responding. This also aids in decreasing anger.
Of course, don’t just peace out of the argument. Let whoever you’re talking to know that you just need a little physical space.
Ask yourself what emotion is behind the anger.
3 More often than not, anger is a “secondary emotion” we use as a mask or a defense for an entirely different feeling (shame, for instance, or embarrassment).
Once you’re aware of the real emotions at play, you can communicate it to the person you snapped at. Also, you’d apologize to your co-worker and perhaps consider asking your manager to lighten your workload.
4
Let’s say you’ve taken the advice above, but you’re still feeling heated. If so, changing the topic of conversation can also be a good way to cope with anger in the moment. 5 If you were discussing something serious—or something that needs to be explained finally—table the discussion for later or the next day, when you calm down.
A. Change the subject of the conversation.
B. Stop the conversation with your partner.
C. Anger will do damage to your lungs and heart.
D. Try responding to your loud voice by gradually lowering it.
E. Now that you’ve calmed down, think about what’s motivating your anger.
F. Make a joke and reroute the conversation to a safe, calm and enjoyable dialogue.
G. Anger will often cause changes in our body, such as muscle tension or sore neck.

A European Union program is letting blind people experience famous paintings for the first time. It uses three dimensional (3-D) printing to re-create famous paintings so they can be touched.
One painting printed with the new technology is Gustav Klimt’s “The Kiss”. It is a popular attraction at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, Austria. The painting shows a man and a woman standing in a field filled with flowers. They are wearing gold robes and have their arms around each other. The man leans down to kiss the woman.
Klimt finished the painting in 1908. Until now, people who had trouble seeing could not appreciate the artwork. But thanks to the reproduction they can touch the piece and feel the ridges and depressions. Andreas Reichinger started making 3-D versions of artwork in 2010. He said this reproduction was his most difficult project because the couple’s robes are so detailed.
Dominika Raditsch is a blind museum visitor. She touched the reproduction. As she moved her hands around it she said, “Exactly, can you see these There are so many details. ” Raditsch said she can imagine what the original painting looks like when she touches the reproduction. “It’s somehow round. You can feel it. It comes with it. And in many places it’s so smooth. And then I think to myself: it probably shines too! ” Raditsch said.
The Belvedere is not the only museum to have 3-D versions of its artwork. Some of the pieces at the Prado, in Madrid, Spain, have reproductions that can be touched. But the piece in Vienna has one special part: it is made with widely available 3-D printing technology. That means one day, blind art fans anywhere in the world could download the source files and print the reproductions themselves.

Papercutting is a very special visual art of Chinese handicrafts. One saying is that it originated from the religious ceremony or offering sacrifices (供品). The ancient people cut papers into animals or people. They either buried them with the dead or burned them on the funerals, wishing that things that paper stands for could be with the dead. Later, they were used during festivals to decorate gates and windows. After hundreds of years’ development, now they have become a very popular means of decoration among country folk, especially women.
It is easy to learn about cutting a piece of paper but very difficult to master it with perfection. Beginners need only a knife and paper. For craftsmen, they need knives and gravers of various types to make complicated (复杂的) patterns. It can be one piece of paper or many pieces. Simple patterns can be cut with a knife. For complicated patterns, people first pasted the pattern on the paper and then used various kinds of knives to make it. No mistake can be made during the process otherwise the work would fail.
Papercutting covers nearly all topics, from flowers, birds, animals, legendary people, figures in classic novels, to types of facial make-up in Peking opera. Papercutting has various styles in different parts of China. In the past, women living in the countryside gathered in their free time to make papercutting, which is a way to judge their skillfulness. As society develops, fewer and fewer people learn this skill while there are some who still regard it as a profession. At present, there are factories and associations for papercutting in China. Exhibitions and exchanges are held regularly and books of this kind are published. Papercutting has changed from decoration to a kind of art. At the same time, papercutting also appears in cartoons, on stage, in magazines or in TV series.

To find an entrance to the deserted plant without being noticed, George Wilson sneaked around the fence, a bag on his back and his hands in his pockets.
However, George thought twice when a guard dog appeared. “I’m not afraid of the gatekeeper—at least I can try to persuade him. But a dog Forget it. I’ll find another way. ” While planning his special visit to the plant, the 25-year-old man did some research, but still failed to locate the entrance.
George is among the thousands who are crazy about “taking adventures”, which they call urban exploration, or “urbex”. The aim is to explore structures—usually abandoned ruins or “hidden parts of the man-made environments”.
One of the most common examples of urban exploration is venturing into abandoned structures, which usually include amusement parks, factories, power plants, missile silos, fallout shelters, hospitals, asylums, schools and houses.
Urban explorers are interested in visiting such sites, as they can discover “other parts of a city” and get to understand its history from a different angle.
George, who worked for a German company in New York for six months, said he enjoyed the contrast between the city’s two sides—modern and crowded, compared with old-fashioned and silent—and wanted to learn more about the city during his short stay.
George said that he was able to finally sneak in through another entrance, yet he was still asked to leave by a gatekeeper shortly after. But he then managed to get into a newly-built block, climbed to the top and took a picture of the factory ruins at sunset.
“I will come back another day, ” he said.

We all experience momentary bursts of anger every now and then. For the most part, though, these relatively minor annoyances are easy to deal with, but walking back your anger when you’re having a heated conversation with someone is a lot more difficult. There are things you can do in the moment to calm yourself, though.
Acknowledge that you’re angry.
When you’re angry, you notice it in your body. 1 If you’re not physically feeling it, you might hear it in the sound of your voice.
Once you notice this, try to adjust your voice. Just as increasing anger can correspond to an increasingly loud voice, so can the opposite. 2
Give yourself a time out(暂停).
How do you do the exercise above when you’re in the middle of a face-to-face conversation Call a personal time out. Walking away gives you time to calm down and collect your thoughts before responding. This also aids in decreasing anger.
Of course, don’t just peace out of the argument. Let whoever you’re talking to know that you just need a little physical space.
Ask yourself what emotion is behind the anger.
3 More often than not, anger is a “secondary emotion” we use as a mask or a defense for an entirely different feeling (shame, for instance, or embarrassment).
Once you’re aware of the real emotions at play, you can communicate it to the person you snapped at. Also, you’d apologize to your co-worker and perhaps consider asking your manager to lighten your workload.
4
Let’s say you’ve taken the advice above, but you’re still feeling heated. If so, changing the topic of conversation can also be a good way to cope with anger in the moment. 5 If you were discussing something serious—or something that needs to be explained finally—table the discussion for later or the next day, when you calm down.
A. Change the subject of the conversation.
B. Stop the conversation with your partner.
C. Anger will do damage to your lungs and heart.
D. Try responding to your loud voice by gradually lowering it.
E. Now that you’ve calmed down, think about what’s motivating your anger.
F. Make a joke and reroute the conversation to a safe, calm and enjoyable dialogue.
G. Anger will often cause changes in our body, such as muscle tension or sore neck.
