4、Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant. A half century ago in the United states, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the dividing lines are still there, but they seem

5、 not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal法律的limits, or whether it should become more chang

6、eable, is often debated爭論. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the dividing lines of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other? These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we seldom reco

I e-mailed her back immediately: I was in.Research shows that gatherings such as Jennifers make sense. In

14、a US study, researchers measured (測量) the happiness of 4739 people over 20 years. The study found that a persons happiness depends on the happiness of people he connects with. Surprisingly, it also found that happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of your friends f

And those good feelings seem to have the greatest influence among friends of the same sex (性別).“People with more good friends are less likely to develop depression (情緒低落) and worry, says Dr. Toupey Luft. “Though you cant choose your family or workmates, you do have control over friendships.W

Are you feeling tired and unhappy？To help you keep records, Luft suggests taking a moment when you get home to write down what your feeling is when around them.While its great to gather with positive friends, its also good to stay with others in the same life situations. “But if y

If someone suggests going for lunch sometime, set a date.“If youre feeling disappointed (失望) with a friend, try talking about what you both need, says Luft. For example,

25、iends needs may be quite different sometimes豐臺DThe webs that spiders build to catch insects seem weak. However, the strength of spider thread is greater than steel. Webs can even stand up to very strong storms.Now a team, headed by Markus Buehler, a scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Techno

26、logy, has worked out why the spider web is so strong. It is not just the strength of the thread, but the clever design of the web. The key to a webs success is its ability to keep its shape and strength even after some of the threads break, says Buehler. The scientists found the thread itself has th

27、e ability to become softer or firmer. So it can hold different types of heavy things and bear a localized damage (損壞).This localized damage can simply be repaired, rather than replaced, or even left alone if the web continues to work as before.Buehlers research is mostly theoretical (理論上的), based on

28、 computer modeling of material properties (特性) and how they respond to stresses. But in order to test the findings, he and his team literally went into the field. They tested actual spider webs by poking and pulling at them. In all cases, damage was limited to the immediate area they disturbed.In te

29、sts, scientists also used three other strong materials made into the same webs. The spider thread was six times stronger than any other material. More surprisingly, when the scientists took away up to 10 percent of the threads from different places, the web didnt become any weaker.Actually, it becam

30、e up to 10 percent stronger.The spider webs clever design gives scientists many new ideas. The findings might be used not just for physical objects such as safer buildings, but also in the design of networked systems. For example, a computer experiencing a virus attack could be designed to shut down

31、 at once, before its problems get worse. “Its a really good chance, said Buehler. “It may give us some new ideas for engineering.56. Where does the strength of the web threads come from? A.

It seems peoplefeel more released (放松)around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets dont judge 評判. A study rep

Some scientists think that waves could help make electricity.“Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave? asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group i

42、n Scotland. “There is certainly a lot of energy in waves.Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricity. The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy, and it is already being used in Scotland.Most waves are created when winds blow across the

43、 ocean. “The winds start out by making little ripples (波紋) in the water, but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves, Taylor said. “Waves are one of natures ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.When waves come towards the coast, peop

44、le can set up dams(大壩) to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine(渦輪). The turbine can then power an electrical generator(發電機).We will never run out of wave power. Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as oil and coal do.Oceans cover three quarters of the

45、 earths surface. That would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world. But there are some disadvantagesthat need us to pay more attention to.Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money. He said that its influence on animals in the sea is still unknown. Besides

46、, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic. With more research, “Many of these problems might be solved, Taylor said. “Finding more energy sources(資源) is very important, for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run out some day.In the future, when you turn on a light

A. almost every country is making use of the wave power at present B. it is necessary for us to develop wave power instead of oil and coal C. wave power will be sure to make some bad influence on sea a
