                                                                       They Say Ireland's the Best

    Ireland is the best place in the world to live for 2005, according to a life quality ranking(排名) that appeared in Britain's Economist magazine last week. The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle

that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being

    The index of 111 countries uses data on incomes, health, unemployment, climate, political stability, job security, gender(心动) equality as well as what the magazine calls"freedom, family and community life”.

    Despite the bad weather, troubled health service, traffic congestion(拥挤), gender inequality and the high cost of living,

Ireland scored an impressive 8. 33 points out of 10.

    That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland, which managed 8.07. Zimbabwe troubled by political insecurity and

hunger, is rated the gloomiest(最差的) picking up only 3.89 points

    “Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued,"the report said, “some of the factors

associated with modernization such as the breakdown in traditional institutions and family values in part take away from a

positive impact."

   “Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain

warm elements of the old, such as stable family and community life.”

The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do, and that its findings would have their

critics.

   No.2 on the list is Switzerland. The other nations in the top 10 are Norway, Luxembourg, Sweden. Australia, Iceland, Italy, Denmark and Spain.

   The UK is positioned at No 29, a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics. The US, which has the second highest per capita GDP after Luxembourg, took the 13th place in the survey. China was in the lower half of the league at 60th.

                                                                        Soot(烟灰) and Snow: a Hot Combination

【*】New research from NASA scientists suggests emissions (释放) of black soot alter the way sunlight reflects off snow.

According to a computer simulation(模拟), black soot may be responsible for 25 percent of observed global warming over

the past century.

【*】Soot in the higher latitudes(纬度) of the Earth, where ice is more common, absorbs more of the sun s energy and
warmth than an icy, white background. Dark-colored black carbon, or soot, absorbs sunlight, while lighter colored ice reflects sunlight

【*】Soot in areas with snow and ice may play an important role in climate change. Also, if snow and ice covered areas begin melting, the warming effect increases, as the soot becomes more concentrated on the snow surface. This provides a positive feedback, as glaciers and ice sheet smelt, they tend to get even dirtier,"said Dr.James Hansen, a researcher at NASA's

Goddard Institute for Space Studies, New York.

【*】Hansen found soot's effect on snow albedo(反照率)( solar energy reflected back to space), which may be contributing

to trends toward early springs in the Northern Hemisphere, such as thinning Arctic sea ice, melting glaciers and permafrost(永冻层). Soot also is believed to play a role in changes in the atmosphere above the oceans and land.

【*】"Black carbon reduces the amount of energy reflected by snow back into space, thus heating the snow surface more
than if there were no black carbon,"Hansen said. Soot's increased absorption of solar energy is especially effective in
warming the world’s climate."This forcing is unusually effective, causing twice as much global warming as a carbon-dioxide(二氧化碳) forcing of the same magnitude(量,大小),” Hansen noted.
【*】Hansen cautioned, although the role of soot in altering global climate is substantial, it does not alter the fact that greenhouse gases are the primary cause of climate warming during the past century. Such gases are expected to be the largest climate forcing for the rest of this century.
【*】The researchers found that observed warming in the Northern Hemisphere was large in the winter and spring at
middle and high latitudes. These observations were consistent with the researchers' elimate model simulations, which
showed some of the largest warming effects occurred when there were heavy snow cover and sufficient sunlight.

                                                                          Computer Mouse

【*】The basic computer mouse is an amazingly clever invention with a relatively simple design that allows us to point at things on the computer and it is very productive. Think of all the things you can do with a mouse like selecting text for copying and pasting, drawing, and even scrolling on the page with the newer mice with the wheel. Most of us use the computer mouse daily without stopping to think how it works until it gets dirty and we have to learn how to clean it. We learn to point at thing before we learn to speak, so the mouse is a very natural pointing device. Other computer pointing devices include light pens, graphics tablets and touch screen, but the mouse still our workhorse.
【*】The computer mouse was invented in 1964 by Douglas Englehart of Stanford University. As computer screens became popular and arrow keys were used to move around a body of text, it became clear that a pointing device that allowed easier motion through the text and even selection of text would be very useful. The introduction of the mouse, with the Apple Lisa computer in 1983, really started the computer public on the road to relying on the mouse for routine computer tasks.
【*】How does the mouse work? We have to start at the bottom, so think upside down for now. It all starts with mouse ball. As the mouse ball in the bottom of the mouse rolls over the mouse pad, it presses against and turns two shafts. The shafts are connected to wheels with several small holes in them. The wheels have a pair of small electronic light-emitting devices called light emitting diodes (LED)mounted on either side. One LED sends a light beam to the LED on the other side. As the wheels spin and a hole rotates by, the light beam get through to the LED on the other side. But a moment later the light beam is blocked until the next hole is in place. The LED detects a changing pattern of light, converts the pattern into an electronic signal, and sends the signal to the computer through wires in a cable that goes out the mouse body. This cable is the tail that helps give the mouse its name. The computer interprets the signal to tell it where to position the cursor on the computer screen.
【*】So far we have only discussed the basic computer mouse that most of you probably have or have used. One problem with this design is that the mouse gets dirty as the ball rolls over the surface and picks up the dirt. Eventually you have to clean your mouse. The newer optical mice avoid this problem by having no moving parts.
