19．The new high-speed railway line between Urumqi，capital of the Xinjiang Uygur self-governing region，and Lanzhou，capital of Gansu province，has cut train travel time by half to less than 12hours．
The dramatic improvement will benefit many families planning reunions for Spring Festival．
"For the first time，I feel home is not that far away after all．"said Liang Shaofu as he boarded a high-speed train in Urumqi with six members of his family．
The 35-year-old left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago，and he has now settled in Urumqi．
The 1，776-km line，which passes through Qinghai province and is the country's first high-speed railway to be built in a high-altitude region，came into service on Dec 26．
"We normally drive home for Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season．"Liang said．"Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes，so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip．"
More than 600，000passengers traveled on the line during its first month，and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said the introduction of high-speed services will ease transport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season．
The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiang's development．All passengers trains will gradually shift to the new link，leaving the old one to be used for goods．As a result，Xinjiang's annual goods ability could reach 200million metric tons from the current 70million．
The line passes through areas that experience high winds，and it also crosses parts of the deserted Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the bone-dry sands of the Gobi Desert．
The project could help China to promote its high-speed railway technology abroad，said Ma Xizhang，director of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang railway project's management department in Xinjiang．

6．When Frida Kahlo's paintings were on show in London，a poet described her paintings as"a ribbon （丝带）around a bomb"．Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence（影响） on the art world of her time．Sadly，she is actually a much bigger name  today than she was during her time．
Born in 1907in a village near Mexico City，Kahlo suffered from polio（小儿麻痹症）at the age of seven．Her spine （脊柱）became bent as she grew older．Then，in 1925，her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident．Throughout the rest of her life，the artist had many operations，but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back．However，the accident had an unexpected side effect．While lying in her bed recovering，Kahlo taught herself to paint．
In 1929，she got married to Diego Rivera，another famous Mexican artist．Rivera's strong influences on Kahlo's style can be seen in her early works，but her later works from the 1940s，known today as her best works，show less influence from her husband．
Unfortunately，her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s，even in her home country．Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953．For more than a decade after her death in 1954，Kahlo's works remained largely unnoticed by the world，but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last．

16．How would you like an easy way to earn $2，500？All you have to do is to sit around and wait for your meals．There's a catch，however．You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week．There are no books or television or radio for amusement．You can't leave until the week is up．And a camera will be recording your every move．
Two people actually took the job．The idea came from Rob Thompson，a video artist．He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated．His goal was to raise people's awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food．He decided to pay $5，000 out of his own savings to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week．
    To Rob's surprise，quite a few people answered his advertisement．He had interviewed and selected Eric，a 24-year-old restaurant worker，and Para，a 24-year-old chemist．The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide．A camera would record their experiences，which would take place in an art museum．
    The week was long and difficult．They slept on a hard wooden floor．They couldn't stand up without hanging their heads．They ate vegetables and drank water from a garden hosepipe．Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain．There were no sinks，mirrors，or toothbrushes in the cage．Their only inspiration was the two framed checks that hung on the wall outside the cage．Visitors who came here were warned，"Do not feed the humans．"
    Finally it was over，and Para and Eric appeared from their cage．They had survived the week，and they each had a $2，500 check in their hands．When Rob Thompson opened the cage，Eric came out，changed into clean clothes，and ate a chocolate bar right away．"It's great to be able to stand up，"he said．Para just changed her clothes and left．After a week of visitors and reporters watching her，she didn't want to talk to anyone．
