It can tell us our gender and age. And now, scientists say that it can also tell us our height.\nScientists at Washington University, Indiana University and University of California found that listeners could accurately tell the height of speakers, just by their voices. And the key to this mystery is a sound known as the subglottal resonance . It _ with height and helps us build a mental picture of a person.\n\"The best way to think about subglottal resonances is to imagine blowing into a glass bottle with water. The less water in the bottle, the lower sound,\" said John Morton, a scientist at Washington University. And it's the same for humans. The frequency of the subglottal resonance depends on the height. The taller we are, the deeper the resonance frequency is.\nIn order to find out whether people could identify the resonance, scientists did experiments. A number of same-sex pairs of different heights were told to read the same sentence aloud. It was played back to listeners who had to choose which one of the pairs was taller. Then, other listeners had to rank the speakers from the shortest to the tallest. The listeners were able to identify the tall people 62.17% of time, much higher than a lucky guess.\nWhy not try the experiment yourself?

Thus, feeling inferior , the seed gave no importance to his existence .Then one day, a wind picked him up and threw him on an open field under the sun. Later, he was given rain.Years later he saw a traveler sitting by his side. \"Thank God for this. I really need some rest,\" he heard the traveler say.\"What are you talking about?\" the seed quickly asked. He thought the man was making fun of him. No one ever spoke to him like that.\n\"Who just spoke?\" the shocked man asked.\"It is me. A seed.\" \"A seed?\" The man looked at the big tree. \"Are you joking? You are not a seed. You are a big tree!\"\n\"Really?\"\n\"Yes! Why do you think people come here?\"\nWhat do they come here for?\"\n\"To feel your shade ! Don't tell me you didn't know you had grown over time.\"\nThe traveler's words brought him pride.\nThe seed thought and smiled for the first time in his life. The years of torture by the sun and the rain finally helped him grow up.\n\"Oh! That means I'm not a little seed anymore! I was actually born to make people feel comfortable. Wow!
