Some people think that money is the source（源泉）of happiness. With money, one can buy whatever he enjoys. With money, one can do whatever he likes. In their minds, money can bring comfort, security, and so on. Money, as they think, is the source of happiness. But there are still a lot of others who think that money is the root of all evil. Money drives to steal, to rob, and to break the law. A lot of people do bad things just because they were in search of money. And in the Western countries, there is nothing that cant be bought by money. Many people lose their own lives when hunting it. I think that money is the essential to life and we cant do many things without money. But even though money is necessary to life, it cant buy happiness. Happiness is not something that can be measured by money. It is a state of mind. One can have plenty of money, with which he can buy whatever he wants, and at the same time he is not happy because he is never satisfied or he is troubled by various kinds of problems. Therefore, although money is necessary for a happy life, it cant buy happiness. （1）What do people think of money？ A . Money is the source of happinessB . money is the root of evilC .

When, suddenly, your mobile phone loses its signal, the television has no programs, and you cant get online with your computer.What has happened? These are just the types of problems a solar storm(太阳风暴) might cause. You may not think of storms as putting our society in danger. But today, a solar storm is as serious as other bad events, such as earthquakes.A solar storm is caused by solar flares (太阳耀斑) :large explosions (爆炸) near the sun that can give off lots of energy.

These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months.In the past few months, scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years. The most recent one happened around Valentines Day, 2011. It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China.Solar flare activity is going to be much worse than what weve seen in the past. Were not talking about a few cities losing power, it could be half of the country, maybe more, SolarStorm W, a US website about space weather, warned.Scientists say that little can be done to predict such a storm.
