Thewaypeopleholdtothebeliefthatafun-fill
The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness, then pain must be equal to unhappiness.But in fact, the opposite is true; more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain. As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, self-improvement. Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment, for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’’t know any parent who would choose the word "fun" to describe raising children.But couples who decide not to have children will never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchil
D、Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless.And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. What is the author trying to tell us
A、Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.
B．One must know how to attain happiness.

C、It is important to make commitments.

D、It is pain that leads to happiness.

Every human being, {{U}} (26) {{/U}} what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is {{U}} (27) {{/U}} dispose of it.But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the {{U}} (28) {{/U}} problem how to collect body heat.

Scientistsclaimthatairpollutioncausesade
Scientists claim that air pollution causes a decline in the world’s average air temperature. In order to prove that theory, ecologists have turned to historical data in relation to especially huge volcanic eruptions. They suspect that volcanoes effect weather changes that are similar to air pollution.
One source of information is the effect of the eruption of Tambora, a volcano in Sumbawa, theDutchEast Indies, inApril 1815. The largest recorded volcanic eruption, Tambora threw 150 million tons of fine ash into the stratosphere. The ash from a volcano spreads worldwide in a few days and remains in the air for years, It’s effect is to mm incoming solar radiation into space and thus cool the earth. For example, records of weather inEngland show that betweenApril and November 1815, the average temperature had fallen 4.50 ℃.During the next twenty-four months,England suffered one of the coldest periods of its history. Farmers’ records fromApril 1815 toDecember 1818 indicate frost throughout the spring and summer and sharp decreases in crop and livestock markets. Since there was a time lag of several years between causes and effect, by the time the world agricultural commodity community had deteriorated, no one realized the cause.
Ecologists today warn that we face a twofold menace. The ever-present possibility of volcanic eruptions, such as that of Mt St Helens in Washington, added to man’s pollution of the atmosphere with oil, gas, coal, and other polluting substances, may bring increasingly colder weather.
What can be implied from the passage ______.A．Gas and coal are not menace to the temperature change.
B．Volcanic eruption might affect the world agricultural commodity production.
C．England suffers its lowest temperature because of the volcanic eruption.
D．Many other natural disasters also affect the temperature.
