　　Gaining lasting happiness has long been a subject of interest for scientists and surveys alike．But what makes us really happy and what lasting benefits does happiness have?

　　Scientists from the University of Illinois found the people who are happy and positive about life live longer．The researchers found “clear evidence” that happiness is key when it comes to better health and longer lifespan(寿命)．

　　A British study, which tracked members of 40,000 households across the country, concluded that eating a family meal at least three times a week is the key to happiness because it helps build a strong connection between parents and their children．

　　Research has also suggested that happiness begins at 50．A study from Stony Brook University, New York, found that stress, anger and worry fade after your 50^th．Women were also reported to suffer greater stress, worry and sadness at all ages．

　　Money makes the world go round, but it is not the key to happiness, according to other studies．However, other studies have found money can ________ after all, but only if you spend it wisely．Indeed, that might be why a good holiday can improve your happiness levels “for up to two months” after－although the break has to be “very relaxing” to have such an effect．

　　The curtain on the 2008 US presidential election finally rose last month as John McCain and Barack Obama were formally nominated(提名)as candidates of the two major parties．This may be one of the hardest decisions voters have to make between two appealing candidates．

　　The big question for voters, as they face both an economic downturn and international threats, is：who will they elect?A young first-term senator promising change and new ideas, or a longtime senator with strong military experience and a reputation as a maverick(特立独行的人)?

　　American voters have never seen a candidate quite like Obama．He has a white mother from the US and a black father from Kenya who left the family when Obama was very young．He spent part of his youth in Indonesia．

　　His supporters say Obama’s childhood gives him the advantage to repair the recent damage done to America’s image abroad．His opponents focus on his inexperience, noting he hasn’t finished his first term in the Senate．

　　However, McCain has a very different life story．He grew up in a Navy family and was a pilot during the Vietnam War in the 1960s．When Obama was in kindergarten in Indonesia, McCain’s plane was shot down over Vietnam and he became a prisoner of war, where he was held for five years unless he disowned America, but he refused．

　　So in the end, the election may hinge on(以…为转移)several factors that are hard to judge：Will Obama’s race matter to a significant number of voters?Will working-class whites who tended to support his primary opponent, Hillary Clinton, vote for Obama?And perhaps most important of all, will swing(摇摆)voters be more drawn to Obama’s vision(远景规划)or to McCain’s experience?

　　Whatever happens, one thing is clear：Whoever walks into the White House on January 20, 2009, will find enormous challenges waiting for him in the Oval Office(美国总统办公室), both at home and abroad．

1．Why was McCain taken in prison in Vietnam?(回答词数不超过8个)

2．What made the result of the election hardest to predict according to the author?(回答词数不超9个)

3．What do the underlined words”enormous challenges”refer to according to the passage?(回答词数不超过7个)

If the name Marissa Mayer doesn't sound familiar, Google it-that's probably what she'd want you to do, anyway.

But now Mayer, 37, is trading in (跳槽）her executive title at Google to be the new CEO of Yahoo, it was widely announced on July 16, 2012. Here are four things to know about Yahoo's new leader.

1. She Made History

When she started working for Google in 1999~years before Google became an everyday verb, Mayer was the company's first female engineer. But "Googirl" nickname aside, "I'm not a woman at Google. I'm a geek at Google," Mayer, who was the company's 20^th employee, told CNN in April. "If you can find something that you're really passionate about, whether you're a man or a woman comes a lot less into play.

2.She's Glamorous (富有魅力的）

Add this title to her resume: Woman of the year. In 2009, Mayer was one of the leading ladies highlighted by Glamour magazine in its annual special issue. Photographed in a striking red dress, Mayer said, "When people think about computer science, they imagine people with pocket protectors and thick glasses who code all right. I do code all night!

3.And So Is Her Apartment

If Google is your homepage, you're familiar with its clean-cut style and simple color scheme-just like Mayer's home. "People used to come over to my apartment and say, ‘Does your apartment look like Google or does Google look like your apartment?" She told The New York Times. "I can't say it clearly anymore. I really love color. I'm not very cluttery. My place has very clean simple lines. That has always appealed to me.”

4._______________

Ready to take on yet another important role, Mayer, who married financier Zachary Bogue in 2009, tweeted (写博文）out yet another announcement the same day word broke of her move to Yahoo. "Another piece of good news today-zackbogue and I are expecting a new baby boy in October! I am going to be a mom!"

[1] If you read a newspaper or listen to a newscast(news report) recently, you may hear or read a strange word, “staycation.” Staycation is a new word the American press(newspapers, radio, and television) is using to describe a vacation very close to your own home, or simply staying at home during your vacation. It is a combination of the words “stay” and “vacation”.

[2] According to many news reports, these staycations are very popular among American families this year. Why?

When you combine this with the weak American dollar, it all adds up to people deciding to stay close to home during their traditional summer vacations. Of course, some places are more interesting to “stay home at” than others. And if you live in a very small town, well, you may just want to skip your vacation and save your time up to next year!
