17、th and twentieth centuries,the attitude to portraiture was critical.Even so,artists from around the globepersisted in painting portraits despite their theoretical objections.Picasso,for example,became widely-knownforcubist still-life painting(立体派静物画)early in his career,but some of his early experime

24、eight years oraround 200,000km.Producers,planning to go much further than that,though,are racing to launch“million mile”(1.6m kilometers)batteries.Contemporary Amperex Technology,a giant Chinese firm which produces batteries fora number of carmakers,was said to be ready to start producing batteries
