New Devices Touch Your HeartDOn a scale of 0 to 10, Id say my happiness ranks at about 6. Tm glad to know Im a 6, because, as a famous

9、management saying puts it, “You can*t manage what you dont measure.If you want to improve an aspect of your life, you need to be able to assess progress toward your goal-and that means measuring it.The goal of this column is to help you manage and improve your happiness. A number of people have aske

10、d me whether quantitative happiness measures are really accurate and reliable-and its a reasonable question. So lefs take a look behind the curtain. But not just for intellectual curiosity; as you will see, understanding the measurement of happiness can itself make you better at improving your own w

11、ell-being-and avoid some critical errors.The best method scientists have to understand with confidence how something affects something else is a randomized, controlled trial. Think of the tests currently under way to find a vaccine for COvID-19. They take a long time because the drug companies with

12、trial vaccines are conducting experiments that randomly assign people to a treatment group they get the vaccine and a control group (they get a placebo), and then waiting to seif the drug is effective and safe by comparing the two groups after enough time has passed.In the research on happiness, thi

13、s usually isnt possible. Want to know if people are truly happiest in Denmark, as some studies suggest, and test it with a randomized experiment? You would need to randomly take two groups out of their homes, move one group to Copenhagen, and the other to, say, Dayton, Ohio- but make sure they think

14、 it might be Copenhagen and never get the truth. Follow up a few years later to see who is happiest. Obviously, thats ridiculous. So with randomized controlled trials largely not available to them, happiness researchers instead rely on self-reported happiness surveys, where large groups of people an

15、onymously report their levels of life satisfaction. Then, the researchers use fairly complex statistical techniques to mimic （模拟）a controlled experiment in order to show how different aspects of peoples lives affect-or at least are associated with-their happiness.12.

16、 Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A. An aspect of life. B. Ones goal.C. Happiness.D. Progress.13. Why is the test of CovID-19 vaccine mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. To introduce a latest medical breakthrough.B. To show the difficulty in finding the vaccine.C. To illustrate the process of randomized experi

17、ments.D. To prove the impossibility of randomized researches on happiness.14. Why is it hard to conduct research on happiness with randomized experiments?A. The experiment takes a long time.B. It is difficult to analyze the data collected.C. It is impossible to carry out the process strictly.D. The

27、se, traveling from location to location at seemingly random intervals.A friend of mine posted a Facebook status asking if anybody was interested in a job teaching English in China. So I jumped on a coming plane. Walking into my first class, I was bombed by 16 strange children who couldnt understand

28、a single word out of my mouth. When I walked out of my last class, six months later, I had made a personal connection with them. Some of my students could barely speak Chinese or English. But somehow, through determination and force, we connected.Every class was not only a lesson in English, but in

29、good fellowship, being a role model, being a parent, and being a friend. I became a father to some, an older brother to others. I was loved and adored, feared and hated. I had to learn discipline, and not only how to deal it out, but how to discipline and conduct myself as a role model. But in betwe

30、en the discipline, I had to make learning a fun experience. And they forgave me when I yelled or got upset. And when they threw temper or bruised their knee or missed their mommy, I forgave them, kissed their bruises better, and gave them a shoulder to cry on.Teaching English in China is, by far, th

31、e most emotionally rewarding and fulfilling thing Ive ever challenged myself to do. I have walked away from this job with a softened heart, knowing that I have made a difference in so many lives.

34、cal“ in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?B. Interacted.A. Beneficial.C. Encouraging.D. Acceptable.CAfrican penguins （Spheniscus demersus） bear the unfortunate nickname “jackass penguins“ because they communicate through honking, donkey-like sounds. Laugh at them if you like, but a new study suggests t

35、hat their jackass language act actually follows the same basic rules as ours.In the study published in the journal Biology Letters, researchers recorded nearly 600 vocalizations （发声）from 28 adult male penguins living in Italian zoos. （Males tend to vocalize a lot during the mating period, which is w

36、hy the researchers turned to this population.） The scientists knew from previous research that African penguins bonk using three distinct types of sound, similar to human syllables （音节），when greeting one another, mating, or defending territory. But the researchers wanted to know whether those syllab

37、les“ followed two common linguistic （语言学的） rules.One of those rules, called Zipfs law in short, was proposed in 1945 by the linguist George Zipf. The law states that the more frequently a word is used in any language, the shorter it tends to be （think of words like the J to and “of in English）. Prev

38、ious studies have analyzed more than 1,000 world languages for evidence of Zipfs law and the rule holds up in all of them.The other rule, known as the Menzerath-Altmann law, says that the longer a word or phrase is, the shorter its component syllables are, while shorter words are more likely to have

39、 longer syllables. The word onomatopoeia,“ for example, is made of six very short syllables, while “couch“ is made of one longer one. Previous studies have shown that nonhuman primates （灵长类动物）follow both these rules when they communicate with each other but what about jackass penguins?The researcher

40、s in the new study found that, yes, the songs of the male jackass penguin conform to both Zipfs and Menzerath-Altmann9s laws. The shortest calls tended to be the most common, and the longest phrases were made up of the shortest syllables. This jackass study provided the first nonprimate evidence tha

41、t these common linguistic patterns extend into the animal kingdom, the authors wrote, and thats nothing to hem and haw at.8. Why did the researchers choose adult male jackass penguins?A. They can vocalize different kinds of sounds.B. They are more accessible than other penguins.C. They communicate w

42、ith each other through honking.D. They make sounds frequently during the mating period.9. What does the author try to express by mentioning the words “the, to and of in English?A.

Discrimination and prescription.11. What conclusion has the new study made?A. Many languages follow the same linguistic ru

44、les.B. How Jackass penguins communicate wilh each other.C. Jackass penguins obey linguistic rules similar to those of humans.D. ZipFs law and Menzerath Alumann law are commonly applied rules.DMuch of the information that is sent back from space is useless. Pictures taken by satellites orbiting the E

45、arth might take days to download, only to show lots of cloud hiding the area of interest. The subject matter may also be surrounded by irrelevant information.Processing data in space before sending back would reduce unnecessary information, but this can be tricky. Rays in the universe randomly flip

46、the ones and zeroes that computers operate on, introducing unpredictable errors. High levels of radiation can also damage electronic circuits （电子电路）.KP Labs, based in Poland, is building a satellite to overcome some of these problems. Their device, called Inuition-1, is controlled by a neural networ

47、k, a form of artificial intelligence modeled on the human brain.Intuition-1 will be equipped with a hyper spectral imager （超光谱成像仪），which takes 150 pictures of every scene it looks at. Each picture is at a different frequency, so contains different information. The neural network pieces these togethe

48、r using powerful graphics chips （芯片）hardened against radiation. The developers have also built error correction into their software. But instead of sending back every bit of image data, the satellite will summarize what the user requests as useful information. This might, for instance, be a heat map

49、 showing areas of weeds in a field or the location of a forest fire. Reducing the data loud means that some of the information can be sent live.The satellite will be used to prove that a hardened neural network can survive in space. This could pave the way for other space applications. For example, the Curiosity rover （探则器）on Mars wa
