The first satellite designed and built by high school students was sent up into space along with a record setting28 other small ones on a rocket were sent from a NASA center in VirginiaCNN reportedIt took the students seven years to build

The students call their tiny satellite TJ3Satwhich is named after their schoolIt is just 10x10x12 centimeters and weighs only 089 kilogramsaccording to Orbital Sciencesa company which developed the rocket and supported the students’ projectIt can be controlled with a smartphone

Like most satellitesTJ3Sat can send and receive datAThe small spacecraft is equipped with a voice synthesizer (合成器)which can switch text to voice and transmit those sounds back to Earth over radio wavessaid Orbital officialsIn this caseanyone can give it a try via the project’s website (school website) by submitting (提交) a textThe texts that get approved will be sent to the satellitechanged to voice and then broadcast back to Earth via radio waves

“I can say ‘Go Colonials’on our ground station and when it is on the other side of the worldin Indiasomeone can hear‘Go Colonials’over the radio”the team explains on the website

The satellite will stay in space for at least three months

School principal Evan Glazer told The Washington Post that the project started in 2006 as an activity in the spare timeLater it became a research project for a select group of seniors

At a time when American students are busy with SATsthe launch of the satellite shows what diligent teenagers can achieve when allowed to pursue their own curiositiesGlazer said

“It used to be that kids growing up wanted to be an astronaut,” Andrew Petroprogram executive (主管) for small spacecraft technology at NASAsaid in a statement“I think we might be seeing kids saying what they want to do is build a spacecraftThe idea here is that they really can do that

【题目】Americans gave nearly $300 billion away last year. Do you know the reason? Beyond the noble goals of helping others, it is that giving will make them happier.

It is a fact that givers are happier people than non-givers. According to the Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey, a survey of 30,000 American households, people who give money to charity are 43% more likely than non-givers to say they are very happy about their lives. Similarly, volunteers are 42% more likely to be very happy then non-volunteers.

The happiness difference between givers and non-givers is not due to differences in their personal characteristics, such as income or religion. Imagine two people who are identical in terms of income and faith, as well as age, education, politics, sex, and family circumstances, but one donates money and volunteers, while the other does not. The giver will be, on average, over 40 percentage points more likely to be very happy than the non-givers.

A number of studies have researched exactly why charity leads to happiness. The surprising conclusion is that giving affects our brain chemistry. For example, people who give often report feelings of euphoria, which psychologists have referred to as the Helpers High. They believe that charitable activity produces a very mild version of the sensations people get from drugs like morphine and heroin.

Of course, not only does giving increase our happiness, but also our happiness increases the possibility that we will give. Everyone prefers to give more when they are happy. Researchers have investigated this by conducting experiments in which people are asked about their happiness before and after they participate in a charitable activity, such as volunteering to help children or serving meals to the poor. The result is clear that giving has a strong, positive causal impact on our happiness, so does happiness on giving
