As he observed her and spoke with her, he admired her more and more. He showered her with kindness and words of praise until she consented to be his wife. Not long after they were married, however, the beautiful woman found out that she was more the object of his artistic interest than of his affections. When he admired her classic beauty, it was as though he were standing in front of a work of art rather than in front of a human being to whom he had pledged his love and promised his life. And soon he expressed his great desire to put her rare beauty on canvas. “Please sit for me in the workroom,” he pleaded, “and I will make your beauty permanent. The work will be my masterpiece!” She was humble and patient as well as flattered by his words, so she said, “Yes, my love. I will be happy to sit for you.” So the beautiful, young wife of the artist sat meekly for hours in his studio, not plaining. Day after day she sat patiently, smiling as she posed, because she loved him and because she hoped that he would see her love in her smile and obedience. She sometimes wanted to call out to him, “Please love me and want me as a person rather than as an object!” But instead, she spoke nothing but words which pleased him. At length, as the labor drew to close, the painter became wilder in his passion for his work. He only rarely turned his eyes from the canvas to look at his wife. As he stood there gazing at his beautiful work of art, he cried with a loud voice, “This is indeed life itself!” Then he turned to his beloved and saw that she was dead!（1）In what way did the artist express his appreciation of his wife39。s rare beauty?

The two firms had been fierce petitors, but Didi Chuxing had controlled the Chinese market with an 87% share. Uber China launched in 2014, but it had failed to make any profit for a long time. Cheng Wei, founder and chief executive of Didi Chuxing, said the two panies had learned a great deal from each other over the past two years in China. He added that the deal would set the mobile transportation industry on a healthier path of growth at a higher level. As part of the deal, Mr. Cheng would join the board of Uber, while Uber chief executive Travis Kalanick would also join Didi39。s board. Uber39。s China business would own its separate branding while USbased Uber Technologies would hold about % in the bined pany. Didi Chuxing is backed by Chinese Internet giants Tencent and Alibaba. Uber had been struggling to break into the Chinese market despite having Chinese search engine Baidu as an investor. Last February, the pany admitted it was losing more than $1 billion a year in China. “Funding their Chinese dreams was being too expensive for Uber,” Duncan Clark, chairman of Beijingbased consultancy BDA, told the BBC. Travis Kalanick said, “As a businessman, I39。ve learned that being successful is about listening to your head as well as following your heart.” The fierce petition had led both panies to spend much more on their journeys. The bination is likely to see fewer such subsidies（補(bǔ)貼）. “One thing to watch carefully is how quickly consumers feel the impact as subsidies are withdrawn.” Mr. Clark added. The deal with Didi Chuxing came just days after China had agreed to provide a legal framework for taxiordering a
