| Michelangelo painting found |
米开朗基罗遗作现身 |
| Michelangelo's painting 'Pieta' was found with a suburban family in New York, the Daily Mail reported. Martin Kober, 53, owns the painting. When his children knocked it off the wall with a wayward tennis ball 27 years ago, the family wrapped up the painting they knew as 'The Mike' and shoved it behind the sofa. After infrared and X-ray examinations, experts proved it is the painting of Michelangelo. Recent Michelangelo works sold have gone for US$20 million, though those at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York could fetch US$300 million if sold. |

| Thin women make more money |
挣多挣少先看胖瘦 |
| A new study confirms that employers seem to treat women the same way the fashion industry does. The thinner they are, the more they pay them, CBS reports. The University of Florida found very thin women, those weighing 25 pounds less than average, earned over US$15,000 more annually. And women who weigh 25 pounds over the norm earn an average of US$13,847 less than the average-weight female. But the opposite is true for men. Thin men actually earn about US$8,000 less than average-weight men. In fact, men are consistently rewarded for getting heavier. |
