Up until now, however, blind and partially sighted people have been unable to enjoy the museum39。s vast collection, which includes works by Goya, El Greco and Velazquez. The solution, the president of the museum concluded, was not simply offering audio or Braille(盲文 )guides, but to create 3D copies of key works, which visitors could touch. By inviting them to break the “ no touching” rule in their new “ Touching the Prado” exhibit, visually impaired (受損的） visitors can at last gain some appreciation of the works on display. More than a year ago, then, the museum invited panies from across Spain to launch the project before choosing Estudios Durero, a Basque pany specializing in the fine arts. What set them apart from their rivals was that, rather than using standard 3D printing, they have developed a technique that they call “Did,” which allows them to produce works that are both rich in texture (紋理） and color. Eager to keep the exact details of their process a secret, Velasco explained that it includes taking a high resolution image of a painting and then working with the blind and partially sighted members of the team to identify which details need to be emphasized. A Madrid native, Fernandez, was born blind and is now visiting the Prado for the first time. 41Yes, I can feel the texture of the skin, the short beards 2ind even the look of surprise on the men’s mouths,” said Fernandez. “We learned all about the great Spanish artists at school, of course, but it39。s only now that I can start to understand what made them special in their own unique ways.” Plans are in place to further expand the current exhibition to involve a wider sample of the Prado39。s collection and to make other museums and galleries more accessible to the visually .

D I have two friends, Seth and Michael, and one of them is a lot happier than the other. To understand why these two men are so different, let me tell you a little bit about them. Both are in their early 40s and doing well in their careers. Seth is a professor at a famous university, who has reasonably bright students and many opportunities for travel. His research program has been successful, gaining attention from all over the US. Michael is a lawyer in a small but beautiful city. He is good at dealing with civil matters, and his success as a lawyer has led to occasional media appearances, in which he is asked to speak about his latest cases. Both have fine families. Thus, why is Michael happier than Seth? Was he simply lucky to be born with a sunnier disposition (性情 )? Or, is he more fortunate with regard to the events and circumstances of his life? On balance, neither of them seems to have the better job, wife, kids, house or car. Furthermore, scientific research has shown that success, health and physical attractiveness are only minimally related to one39。s overall happiness. What about geics? Growing research done with fraternal twins (異卵雙胞胎） suggests that each person is born with a particular “happiness set point”, that is, the potential for happiness to which he or she is bound to return, even after major failure or success. Michael may simply possess a higher set point for happiness and the higher potential for wellbeing. He doesn’t have to work hard at it — he is just happy. If Michael’s happiness is due to geics, what is left for Seth to do? Are we all destined to obey the directives of our genes? The answer is “no”. My two colleagues and I developed a theory that describes the most important factors determining happiness. In
