Can money buy happiness? Yes, exclaim the authors of a new 【M1】______
study—but only up to a point.
Psychology has shown that rich people generally rank the
overall quality of their lives more favourable than poor people do. At 【M2】______
the same time, their actual happy seems to be motivated less by their 【M3】______
ability to buy more than by being able to keep up with those with
comparable resources in their own age group.
"Our findings point to the possibility that, rather than
promoting overall happiness, continued income growing could 【M4】______
promote an ongoing consumption race where individuals have to
consume more and more, just to maintain a constant level of
happiness," writes Glenn Firebaugh of Pennsylvania State
University.
The study was presented at the American Sociological
Association's 100th Annual Meeting.
What the rich are happier as a whole than their less well-to-do 【M5】______
counterparts is becoming an increasingly hot topic for debate. In
recent years, many has been written regarding the "science of 【M6】______
happiness".
Richer people are happier because money can purchase goods
and services and it is the consumption of these materials increases 【M7】______
one's enjoyment of life and one' s sense of well-being.
As incomes in the U.S. tend to be rise over the course of our 【M8】______
lifetimes, individuals may find themselves on a sort of treadmill,
consuming more and more just to maintain a constant level of
happiness, they write.
Firebaugh and his colleagues measured the age, total family
income, and general happiness of individuals aged 20 to 64,
generally considered the working life span for most Americans.
Regardless of such criteria as physical health, education, and
marital status, people's happiness was effected by what others 【M9】______
earned. The higher is the income of others in one's age group, the 【M10】______
lower one's happiness.

Nanosize machines need still tinier power plants
By Zhong Lin Wang
The watchmaker in the 1920s who devised the self-winding wristwatch was on to a great idea: mechanically harvesting energy from the wearer’s moving arm and putting it to work rewinding the watch spring.
Today we are beginning to create extremely small energy harvesters that can supply electrical power to the tiny world of nanoscale devices, where things are measured in billionths of a meter. We call these power plants nanogenerators. The ability to make power on a minuscule scale allows us to think of implantable biosensors that can continuously monitor a patient’s blood glucose level, or autonomous strain sensors for structures such as bridges, or environmental sensors for detecting toxins — all running without the need for replacement batteries. Energy sources are desperately needed for nanorobotics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), homeland security and even portable personal electronics. It is hard to imagine all the uses such infinitesimal generators may eventually find.
In Brief
★Nanotechnology has huge potential — but those minuscule devices will need a power source that is better than a battery.
★ Waste energy, in the form. of vibrations or even the human pulse, could provide sufficient power to run such tiny gadgets.
★ Arrays of piezoelectric nanowires could capture and transmit that waste energy to nanodevices.
★ Medical devices will likely be a major application. A pacemaker’s battery could be charged so it would not need replacing, or implanted wireless nanosensors could monitor blood glucose for diabetics.
在下表中我们列出了英镑对一些外国货币的平均实际汇率指数(这些平均指数被称为实际有效汇率)。这些指数中任何一个数值的提高都意味着英镑的实际升值,即英国的价格水平相对于用英镑表示的外国平均价格水平提高,反之则为贬值。
英国实际有效汇率的变更,1976~1984年(1980=100)

请用以上信息解释英国1978~1984年实际有效汇率变动的原因,请注意非贸易品的作用。
In the late 1970s Britain seemed to have struck it rich.Having developed its North Sea oil-producing fields in earlier years,Britain suddenly found its real income higher as a result of a dramatic increase in world oil prices in 1979-1980. In the early 1980s,however,oil prices receded as the world economy slid into a deep recession and world oil demand faltered.
On the following page,we show index numbers for the average real exchange rate of the pound against several foreign currencies.(Such average index numbers are called real effective exchange rates.)A rise in one of these numbers indicates a real appreciation of the pound,that is,an increase in Britain's price level relative to the average price level abroad measured in pounds.A fall is a real depreciation.
Real Effective Exchange Rate of Pound Sterling,1976-1984年(1980=100)

Use the clues we have given about the British economy to explain the rise and fall of the pound's real effective exchange rate between 1978 and 1984. Pay particular attention to the role of nontradables.
As an illustration of this we can consider the discovery of air pressure. Over two thousand years ago, men discovered a method of raising water from one level to another by means of the vacuum pump. When, however, this machine passed into general use in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, it was not possible to raise water vertically more than about 35 feet. Why? Galileo, amongst others, recognized the problem, but failed to solve it.
The problem was then attacked by Torricelli. Analogizing(作类比推理) from the recently-discovered phenomenon of water-pressure, he postulated(假定) that a deep "sea of air" surrounded the earth; it was, he thought, the pressure of this sea of air that pushed on the surface' of the water and caused it to rise in the vacuum tube of a pump. A hypothesis, then, was formed. The next step was to deduce the consequences of the hypothesis. Torricelli reasoned that this "air pressure" would be unable to push a liquid heavier than water as high as 35 feet, and that a column of mercury(水银), for example, which weighed about 14 times more than water, would rise to only a fourteenth of the height of water, i.e. approximately 2.5 feet. He then tested this deduction by means of the experiment we all know, and found that the mercury column measured the height predicted. The experiment therefore supported the hypothesis. A further inference was drawn by Pascal, who reasoned that if this "sea of air" existed, its pressure at the bottom(i.e. sea level) would be greater than its pressure further up, and that therefore the height of the mercury column would decrease in proportion to the height above sea-level. He then carried the mercury tube to the top of a mountain and observed that the column fell steadily as the height increased, while another mercury column at the bottom of the mountain remained steady. This further proof not only established Torricelli's hypothesis more securely, but also demonstrated that, in some aspects, air behaved like water.
Why does the author mention the discovery of air pressure?
A.To show that air behaves like water in some aspects.
B.To illustrate the special sequence of procedures involved in the establishment of the working laws of science.
C.To indicate that it was difficult to use scientific methods to solve the problem of vacuum pump.
D.To show how scientists make experiments to test their deductions.
