　　This year's Noble peace prize has been awarded jointly to three women- Liberian President Ellen Johnso Sirleaf, Liberian Leymah Gbowee and Tawakul Karman of Yemen．

　　As the head of Yemeni organisation Women Journalists without Chanis, Mrs Karman has been imprisoned several times．

Each winter, the rugged North Shore serves up some of the largest and most impressive ocean waves on the planet．Giant waves make their long journey across the northern Pacific to the area’s shoreline．For many island residents, this means only one thing: surf up．

The exact origin of surfing is unknown, but most historians believe that the Polynesians were already very good at the sport by the time they migrated to the Hawaiian Islands some 2 000 years ago．Early Hawaiians called surfing “He’e nalu”, which literally translates to “wave sliding”．During this time, only high-ranking officials and nobles had access to the best surf spots．King Kamehameha himself was said to be a keen and skilled surfer．
Surfing really took off in the early 1990s．Riding boards made from redwood and balsa wood, early surfers risked their lives to take on these giant waves．
Today, thanks to a number of modern innovations and inventions, the surfing population on the North Shore has exploded．Wave riders and spectators from around the world gather here from November to February, hoping to catch that perfect wave．Winter wave heights can get as high as 20 feet, with faces up to 50 feet! This extreme surf is for experts only, and even then conditions are considered highly dangerous．
World-known surf contests are held here from early November to late December．The Van’s Triple Crown of Surfing, which includes the Vans Hawaiian Pro at Ali’ i Beach Park in Hale’ iwa, the Rip Curl Cup at Sunset Beach, brings together the world’s best professional surfers．Watching them surfing on the grand waves is really a feast for the eyes．
Although winter on the North Shore may not be the best time and place to learn how to surf, the summer months provide safer and more favorable conditions．

According to researchers．money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else．

Spending as little as $5 a day on someone else could significantly bring you happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School found．

Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably（适度地） happier when they spent money on others--even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier．

"We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn," said Elizabeth Dunn, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia．

They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness, report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity．

"Regardless of how much income each person made, those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not," Dunn said in a statement．

Dunn's team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharing bonus（奖金） of between $3,000 and $8,000．

"Employees who devoted more of their bonus to pro-social spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself," they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science．

They gave their volunteers $5 or $20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it．Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it．

"These findings suggest that very minor alterations（改动） in spending allocations（分配） - as little as $5 - may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day," Dunn said．

NEW YORK—Microsoft on Monday made another effort to challenge Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android in the exploding smartphone market—launching a wireless operating system，Windows Phone 7.

Consumers will consider it“always delightful and thoroughly mine，”Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said at a launch event. Ballmer said last year that Microsoft had“screwed up”with its Windows Mobile operating system.For example，it failed to keep up with touch-screen innovations that make iPhones and Android phones easy to use.

Microsoft fell from third to fourth place in market share this year，behind BlackBerry，iPhone and Android. Only 10.8% of smartphone owners used Microsoft’s system in August，down from 18% last December.

But Windows Phone 7 is“a total departure from anything they’ve done”.Microsoft says it sought to simplify common activities. For example，you can instantly take a picture with a phone’s camera by pushing a button on the device. You don’t have to first awaken it from its sleep mode and launch the camera application. You also can program the phones to automatically upload photos to Facebook or other social network sites in a couple of seconds. Users can easily work with Microsoft Office contact and calendar information as well as documents created in Microsoft’s Word，Excel and PowerPoint.

The phones will not show videos built on Adobe’s Flash platform，widely used by services including YouTube and Hulu.

AT&T will offer the first Windows Phone 7 smartphone，the Samsung Focus，on Nov.8.Soon after，it will have the LG Quantum and HTC Surround. Each will cost S|  199.99 with a two-year service contract. T-Mobile will have two Windows Phone 7 models out for the holiday shopping season：the HTC HD7 and Dell Venue Pro. It did not say how much they’ll cost.

1.What is the main idea of paragraph 4？

A．Why Microsoft fell behind others.

B．How to use Windows Phone7.

C．Advantages of Windows phone7.

D．Speed of Windows phone7.

2.What does the underlined phrase“screwed up”in the 2nd paragraph probably mean？

A．To make a bad mistake.

B．To make big progress.

C．To achieve main goals.

D．To keep up with others.

3.Which of the following phones will NOT use Windows Phone 7 operating system？

A．Quantum.

B．Surround.

C．Android.

D．Focus.

4.Why did Microsoft see a drop in market share last year？

A．Because its operating system didn’t catch up with changes.

B．Because its phones can’t show videos from YouTube.

C．Because it was inconvenient to take photos using its phones.

D．Because its system was based only on Microsoft soft wares.

5.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？

A．Smartphone Market Welcomes New Giant

B．Microsoft to Fight Back on Smartphone

C．Mobile Phones Getting Smarter and Easier

D．Microsoft Proved a Failure in Smartphone

 

WASHINGTON — Money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else, according to researchers.

    Spending as little as $5 a day on someone else could significantly boost happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School found on Thursday.

    Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably happier when they spent money on others --- even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.

    “We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn,” said Elizabeth Dunn, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia.

    They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness, report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.

    “Regardless of how much income each person made, those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not,” Dunn said in a statement.

    Dunn’s team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharing bonus of between $3,000 and $8,000.

    “Employees who devoted more of their bonus to pro-social spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself,” they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.

    “Finally, participants who were randomly (随机地) required to spend money on others experienced greater happiness than those required to spend money on themselves,” they said.

    They gave their volunteers $5 or $20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it. Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.

    “These findings suggest that very minor adjustment in spending allocations (分配) --- as little as $5 --- may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day,” Dunn said.

    This could also explain why people are no happier even though US society is richer.

    “Indeed, although real incomes have increased dramatically in recent decades, happiness levels have remained largely flat within developed countries across time,” they wrote.
