The research showed that over the past 35 years womens happiness has declined, both _32_ to the past and relative to men even though the lives of women in the US have improved in recent decades by most _33_ measures.The research, by University of Penn

23、sylvania economists Stevenson and Wolfers, and made _34_ by the National Bureau of Economic Research, found the decline in happiness to be widespread among women across a variety of demographic (人口统计的) groups.

34、es are another way of making payments, BBC reporter Kate Russell says that when this is _53_ you can use the fingo-pay (指纹支付) system which “reads the unique maps of veins under the surface of your finger.” The trick is remembering which finger you _54_ with in the bank - thats when good old-fashione

58、r into an orbit (轨道) around the moon. The students are from Cornell University in the state of New York. They are taking part in a competition called the Cube Quest Challenge. It is a program of NASA, the American space agency. The Cornell team is called the CisLunar Explorers. The word cislunar mea

59、ns “between the earth and the moon.”The challenge is simple: to design, build and deliver “flight-qualified, small satellites.” NASA officials say the satellites must be able to perform “advanced operations near and beyond the moon.”Ten teams are taking part in the competition. But the CisLunar Expl

60、orer satellites are different. They are the only ones using water to power their spacecraft.The idea for a water-powered vehicle came from Mason Peck, who works at Cornell University. He once worked as NASAs chief technologist. He has always wanted to use something other than rockets to push spacecr

61、aft beyond earth. “A lot of the mass we send into orbit these days is in the form of rockets - the only way we get anything into space,” he said, in a Cornell press release. “But what if we could use whats already there? If we could do that, if we could re-fuel spacecraft while theyre already in spa

62、ce.”The spacecraft is shaped like the English letter L. It measures about 30 centimeters in length, and the two pieces are connected. Water is stored in the lower part of the satellite. The sun will separate the water into two elements: hydrogen and oxygen. When one combines hydrogen and oxygen with

63、 a spark (火花), an explosion results. This provides a forward movement, known as thrust.The CisLunar Explorer team has an unusual way to guide its spacecraft. The idea is to copy how old-time sailors used the moon, sun and stars to fix their position on the oceans. The satellite is equipped with cameras. The cameras will take pictures of the sun, t
