According to a new research,the more people in a country who have a particular gene(基因),the happier the nation will be.This DNA is known as the FAAH gene.People with a particular version of it tend to be cheerier souls.There is a link between levels of the FAAH gene and the number of people who say they are very happy.
Sweden—one of the happiest countries in the world—also has lots of happy DNA.Ghana,Nigeria,Mexico and Columbia all come out near the top in the happiness league,and have high rates of the gene.In contrast,the people of Iraq,Jordan and China are among the least likely to rate themselves as very happy and also have the lowest level of the FAAH gene.
However,wealth and health are found to have little effect on happiness.The finding could help explain why some of the world's poorest nations are also the happiest.In addition,the FAAH gene and an optimistic attitude would not always go hand in hand.For example,Russians and Estonians score very low in happiness,despite having the right happy DNA.
Professor Michael Minkov said,"The climate condition is associated with the nation's happiness.We can notice the high occurrence of the FAAH gene in tropical(热带的) areas in the Americas and Africa.And the occurrence of the gene around the Mediterranean Sea is much lower than that in Northern Europe."
The social experts say that genetics is not the only determinant(决定因素) of happiness.The economic and political difficulties in some nations also contribute to the very low happiness scores.Nations that are not blessed with the right DNA aren't necessarily miserable.
(1)、The new study shows that ____.A、happiness is in your genes B、human body is made up of DNA C、the FAAH gene will make people sad D、most people are satisfied with their lives(2)、What does the underlined part "go hand in hand" in paragraph 3 mean?A、Walk with friends. B、Be closely related. C、Disappear from hands. D、Fight against each other.(3)、What affects happiness according to Michael?A、Money. B、Health and fitness. C、Differences in climate. D、The number of population. -

Max Mathews has been called the father of computer music.He created electronic tools so that people could use computers as musical instruments.He had a great influence on the development of electronic music and how it is written,recorded and played.
In 1957,Mathews wrote the first computer program that enabled a computer to create sound.At that time,he was working as an engineer at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey.His computer program enabled a large IBM computer to play a 17 seconds piece of music that he had written.The computer was so slow that it would have taken an hour to play the piece of music in 17 seconds.For that reason,Mathews moved the work to a tape player,which could be sped up to play the music at a normal speed.He later said that the sound quality of the musical notes was not great,but the technical importance of the music was huge.
Mathews continued creating other versions of the music program.He became interested in how computers could help musicians outside recording studios.The Groove program he developed was the first computer program made for live performances.
He also developed an electronic device he called the Radio Baton.The device looks like two drum sticks.It enables the user to control the speed and sound levels of orchestral music playing on a computer.The user does this by moving the two sticks on a special electronic surface.
Mathews believed modern musicians are not making full use of the power of computer music.He said a violin always sounds like a violin.But with a computer,the way a violin sounds is unlimited.He said he didn't want computer sounds to replace live music.But he said he hoped laptop computers would one day be considered serious instruments.
(1)、What do we know about Mathews's first piece of computer music?A、It took several minutes to play this music. B、It was written in the middle of the 1950s. C、It made the IBM computer work so slowly. D、It had the same good quality as other music.(2)、Mathews made the Groove program in order to ____.A、improve the sound quality of music B、create a record for recording studios C、improve the live performances D、develop the computer music(3)、From the text we know that the Radio Baton is ____.A、a computer program B、a piece of computer music C、an electronic device D、a recording studio(4)、According to the text,Mathews hoped that ____.A、computer sounds would take the place of live music B、modern musicians would make good use of computer music C、computers would change the musical instruments D、computers would be considered serious instruments -
