cyclists in this countrythe intelligent bicycle runs on electricityits seat shakes when other cyclists approach from behind，while the handlebars do the same when obstacles appear ahead to inform cyclists to pay attention to the dangerit also has a cradle(置物架)in which a computer can be inserted，to wirelessly connect and“talk”to the bicycle through a particular applicationthe computer also flashes a bright signal if there is an approaching obstacle in the bicycles path，like a tree，or if another cyclist comes up from behind intending to pass.a commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1，700 euros to 3，200 euros per bicycleit weighs about 55 pounds but researchers are working on making the on-board systems smaller accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed，”said maurice kwakkernaat，one of the scientists involved in the project，“the on-board system technology has already been at work in the automotive industry”“more and more elderly people are using a bicycle，not only for short distances，but also for longer distances，”dutch environment minister melanie schultz van haegen said，“this type of bicycle is truly needed in the netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue enjoying cycling，”she said24what does the text mainly talk about?athe newly-invented bicycle can warn of dangerbthe intelligent computer runs on electricitycmore elderly people enjoy

research it, happiness actually raises every single business and educational outcome for the brain. how did we miss this? why do we have these social misunderstandings about happiness? because we assumed you were average. when we study people, scientists are often interested in what the average is. many people think happiness is genetic. thats only half the story, because the average person does not fight their genes. when we stop studying the average and begin researching positive outliers - people who are above average for a positive aspect like optimism or intelligence - a wildly different picture appears. our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success.scientifically, happiness is a choice. it is a choice about where your single processor brain will devote its limited resources as you process the world. if you scan for the negative first, your brain really has no resources left over to see the things you are grateful for or the meaning embedded(嵌入) in your work. but if you scan the world for the positive, you start to acquire an amazing advantage. i wrote the cover story for the harvard business review magazine on “happiness leads to profits.” based on my article called “positive intelligence” and my research in the happiness advantage, i summarized our researched conclusion: the single greatest advantage in the modern economy is a happy and busy workforce.a decade of research in the business world proves that happiness raises nearly every business and educational outcome: increasing sales by 37%, productivity by 31%, and accuracy on tasks by 19%, as well as a number of health and quality-of-life improvements.28. the underlined word “this” in the first paragraph refers to . a. the fact that people are happy b. the connection between happiness and educational outcome c. the fact that people often misunderstand happinessd. the fact that most people are average29. what can we learn from the passage? a. scientists are only interested in what the average is.b. you can choose to be happy or not.c. the average are not happy at all.d. our decisions and habits have nothing to do with happiness. 30. why does the writer mention his articles and research? a. to advertise himself.b. to arouse the readers interest.c. to support his point about happiness. d. to attract the readers to read his articles.31. what is the authors purpose of writing this article? a. to explain what is happiness. b. to describe the misunderstandings about happiness. c. to show people the importance of happiness. d. to make the point that happiness promotes business and educational outcome. draised by a single mother in hartford，fred wright struggled with behavioral problems and was forced to move
