13、 are the most beautiful works human has ever crafted.” “Make a violin with your own hands,” Professor Ruan suggested,“When you play it, youll know.”However, when Professor Ruan introduced to me a violin workshop, what I saw was far from my expectation. In front of me was a fat worker, shirtless and

14、sunburned, soon to become my master. What shocked me most was that the “master” knew nearly nothing about music. His rough hands had been tending crops, not instruments, for most of his life.Two months later, standing outside the workshop, I was disappointed. Yes, I just finished or copied a Stradiv

15、arius violin. But I didnt find beauty in it. Then I remembered Professor Ruans words, “When you play it, youll know.” So I closed my eyes, and focused on where my fingers and strings touched. Music flowed suddenly so beautifully that for a moment I doubted my own ears. Slowly I opened my eyes, and w

16、ith surprise found the fairy of my childhood fantasy dancing to my music the two-year-old daughter of the master.Professor Ruan was right.

23、operas with performers who were all black. But it seemed that he always would be known mainly as a concert artist. However, his life took a different turn in the middle of 1930s.

29、r you to go away, and you may speak out “Awww” without hesitation. However, theres a reason why you find a dogs stare so attractive. That sweet stare actually causes the release of a particular hormone, or chemical messenger in the body. This hormone creates feelings of affection in humans. The same

30、 thing happens to dogs when people look back at them. Scientists believe this helps people and their four-legged friends bond, or feel connected. Scientists have wondered what causes dogs to lovingly stare at their owners. To find out, a team of researchers from Azabu University in Japan studied 30

31、owners and their dogs.The researchers found that after the pets and their owners spent half an hour together, both showed a rise in oxytocin (催产素). One key role of this hormone in many animals is to promote bonding, like that between a mother and newborn. The increase of oxytocin didnt happen, thoug

32、h, when scientists repeated the experiment with wolves and the humans who had raised them.A second experiment also found that if dogs were given oxytocin, they looked at their owners longer.

33、vels also rose as a result.The result of these experiments might help answer an age-old question: How did the fearsome wolf ancestor of modern dogs turn into mans best friend? Takefumi Kikusui, an animal scientist who worked on the study, thinks that the change happened when dogs first became domest

34、ic (驯养的).According to Kikusui, there may have been a small group of wild dogs that were naturally friendlier. “Humans are very sensitive to eye contact. By using this special communication tool, the dogs are able to win over our hearts. If they are more likely to make eye contact, it would be easier

41、acation, moving to a less expensive house and so on.However, as discouraging as things may seem now, the good news is that the economy always gets back on track after a while.
