When a computer works on a group of programs,it can get very hot.Cooling the computer can cost a lot. So some scientists wonder what would happen if the heat from the computer could be used.

Large Internet companies (公司）such as Google and Microsoft have thousands of computers. As these computers deal with informa?tion,they produce lots of heat,so they need huge cooling systems ( 系统) .These systems send the heat into t.he air.

A company in Holland (荷兰) thinks paying to make the com?puters work and then paying again to cool them are a waste of energy. So the company developed a special device—the e-Radiator.

Boaz Leupe,head of the company,says the e-Radiator works as a heating system and saves money. He explains that the energy is used twice—once to heat the home and once to cool the computer and that the users don't have to pay to cool their computers.

Five homeowners in Holland are testing the heating system in their homes.

“We pay for the computer using,so, in that way,homeowners get heating for free,^，? Boaz says.

Jan Visser is one of the homeowners.^” If you use the computer more,the e-Radiator produces more heat,” he says. “It cannot provide enough heat if you don't use your computer often." But he is ready to try it.It's a great help for his family.

The company says e-Radiators produce heat temperatures of up to 55°Csays the system could save its users about $440 a year.

Passage 6( 2014 江苏常州，D)

For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened,and there was nothing special about it.Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at.It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better.One way is being unselfish,not wanting everything from our friends. Another way is to look for good points,not bad points in other people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.

Just remember that we all have some of these faults (缺点） and have to fight against them.

At the same time,it is important to remember that while you are probably no worse than others,the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people. When something is wrong,it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you do not like a teacher or a classmate.Try to see why,and look at yourself,too,to he sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you. Some day,things may turn out all right when you have to learn to get along the best with the situation,without thinking too much about it. Wor?rying never helps in a situation you cannot change.
