19、 the US. While living in New York City, we became fast friends despite the few awkward cultural differences I learned to deal with. She was comfortable with intimacy; I preferred to keep my distance. She liked the company of many; I liked the friendship of few. It was awkward for me to lean in for a

20、 quick hug, only to be embraced then kissed on the cheeks. To this day, Im not an excellent cheek kisser, but I try. She is one of many people over the years who have educated me, in a way, about delighting in cultural difference. I called Ana to check on her mother and I was primarily curious about

21、 how social and cultural norms have been affected.

28、dio. Finding a way for all parties to listen to their own audio without the need for headphones has been a goal of car makers for decades, and scientists may have finally managed it. A team from the University of Le Mans in France carefully positioned microphones, speakers and filters（过滤器）to create

29、personalised sound zones (PSZs) inside a car, and the small regions are where sound from a set of speakers can be heard clearly. Outside these, it can not be heard. One barrier which scientists have previously been unable to overcome was the impact of moving ones seat. They were able to form a PSZ,

30、but unable to move it to follow a person if they moved the seat forwards or backwards.The French team created a new algorithm(算法) specifically to tackle this issue, which handles the sound waves to create “bright” and “dark” zones in the car. “Loudspeakers are placed in the headrests, and specific f

31、ilters for each transducer(换能器) are calculated to reproduce a sound signal that maintains good quality in the zone under consideration and is strongly weakened in other zones.” said Dr Lucas Vindrola, the author of the study. “The key to the technique working properly is having sufficient microphone

32、s placed around the car to detect how many people are in the car and where they are sitting. The price to pay is to have control microphones in the passenger section, so that the algorithm can work.”However, the technique is not yet ready to be commercially rolled out as a luxurious optional extra j

36、roduce a new technology. DSeveral days ago Spanish fashion brand Zara sparked a fee debate after releasing its latest campaign featuring a Chinese model with freckles（雀斑）. Actually, there are some different beauty standards between the East and the West. In East Asia, freckles might be considered a

37、“destructive weakness” for celebrities, especially actors or singers. Although normal people dont care that much, subconsciously they might prefer a “clean” face. Generally speaking, freckles are more likely to appear if people are out in the sun frequently, and most East Asian women avoid the sun a

38、s best they can. Having freckles, instead, is a trademark for unconventional beauty in the Western world, and some call freckles “angel kisses”. For most westerners, having freckles is no longer just something you have to live with; instead, it is something to be desired. After all, not everyone is

39、lucky enough to have freckles. When it comes to eye shapes, it seems Western and Chinese beauty standards dont see eye-to-eye. Many Chinese think girls with big eyes are the most beautiful. If their eyes have a double fold eyelid, that is considered perfect. However, most foreigners seem to prefer C

40、hinese girls with slanted（斜的）and narrow eyes and eyebrows. Chinese known model Lyv Yan is often considered the countrys most beautiful by foreigners, while quite a few Chinese people think her appearance doesnt fit with traditional beauty standards. Young, girly feature or hot and mature feature? Zh

41、ao Liying from China, Aragaki Yui from Japan and Lim Yoon-A from South Korea enjoy high popularity in Asia, as they boast bright faces with warm smiles, which win them lots of male fans. The three young celebrities represent Asias beauty standards: women with cute, girly features. Most women in Asia

42、 try their best to stay young accordingly. Unlike Chinese girls, Western girls think a more mature look shows independence and uniqueness. The superhero Wonder Woman is an ideal type for most. As ties continue to grow between China and the West, it is unavoidable that these beauty standards develop.
