are happier isnt really that helpful, because basically, happiness is different for women and men.womens happiness has been declining for the past 30 years, according to recent statistics. and research shows that women are twice as likely to experience depression compared with men. gender(性别) differences in depression are well confirmed and studies have found that biological, psychological and social factors contribute to the difference.early studies on gender and happiness found men and women were socialized to express different feelings. women are more likely to express happiness, warmth and fear, which help with social bonding and appear more consistent with the traditional role as a primary caregiver, while men display more anger, pride and disrespect, which are more consistent with a protector and provider role.recent research suggests that these differences are not just socially, but also genetically related. studies have looked into these findings further and discovered that females use more areas of the brain containing mirror neurons(镜像神经元) than males when they process feelings. mirror neurons allow us to experience the world from other peoples view, to understand their actions and intentions. this may explain why women can experience deeper sadness. women tend to experience more negative feelings, such as more guilt, shame and to a lesser degree, embarrassment.psychologically it seems men and women differ in the way they process and express feelings. with the exception of anger, women experience feelings more strongly and share their feelings more openly with others. studies have found in particular that women express more appreciationwhich has been linked to greater happiness. this supports the theory that womens happiness is more dependent on relationships than mens.【解题导语】本文从社会、生理和心理三个方面介绍了男性和女性在幸福感上的差异。1which feeling are men more likely to show compared with women?awarmth. bdepression.chappiness.

machine is the size of a fat housefly. its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“the added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of its components is off the shelf and we have to develop them all on our own，” said robert wood, a harvard engineering professor.they engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “the seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has lots of interdependence(互相依赖) of the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything its connected to，” said wood.while this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, offboard power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a builtin power source, so that it might someday perform datagathering work at rescue sites, in farmers fields or on the battlefield. “basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around，” he said.wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insectscale. yet, the power, sensing and computat
