  •       A new phone app uses vibrations (振动) from smart phones to warn people about earthquakes.

    The phone app

    1
     sudden shaking of the earth’s surface through sensors in smart phones. It is called MyShake. It is the work of four researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. They said they created a worldwide warning system that would 
    2
    people and give them time to prepare. The MyShake app is available only for Android phones.

          Smart phones are 

    3
    with accelerometers (加速度感应器). These instruments measure movement, like that of a car or airplane. MyShake uses phone accelerometers to measure seismic (地震的) activity. It has been
    4
    to know the difference between normal activity and earthquake movement. The software developers say their app is right 93 percent of the time.

           A smart phone sends seismic information to the app developers. If the developers receive several

    5
    from one area, it recognizes that an earthquake might be taking place or will take place soon.

    Using information sent from the app, the network then

    6
    the location and strength of the quake in real time.        MyShake can record magnitude 5.0 earthquakes at distances of 10 kilometers or less.

            MyShake uses very little power, according to its developers. Only when seismic activity is sensed by the app does it become active and sends data to the network. The app works best when your phone is resting on a

    7
    surface, like a table.

    The developers hope that MyShake can add to information collected by the U.S. Geological Survey. That U.S. agency has created the Earthquake Early Warning System, also known as EEW. The EEW has deployed (部署) sensors for measuring quakes in many areas. In places where no such equipment exists, MyShake may be the only method of early quake

    8
    . The app also shows ways to stay safer during an earthquake. The developers say it will become more effective as more people use it.

              “Our goal is to build a worldwide seismic network and use the data to reduce the effects of earthquakes on us as

    9
    and on society as a whole,” say the researchers.

            The developers say they hope to 

    10
    a feature that would alert people about a possible tsunami: a huge wave after an earthquake.

      Do you believe that money can buy happiness? There is a Web site called the “World Database of Happiness.” It combines and analyzes the results of hundreds of surveys from around the world that have been conducted on life satisfaction. Most of the findings are

1

, but a few are surprising.

       The database makes it clear that there is not a strong connection between material wealth and general contentment. It is a cliché (陈词滥调) to say that money can’t buy happiness, but the old saying seems to be

 by research. Many people still believe that gaining riches will be the answer to all their problems, yet they are probably

.

       Studies have been

4

on people who acquired sudden wealth, such as lottery winners. In most cases, after the
5
请选择
joy had disappeared, people were not left with a sense of lasting happiness. In fact, they tended to revert (重返) to the way they
6
请选择
before they became rich. Previously contented people continue to be contented,
7
请选择
 those who were miserable before are still miserable.

If material wealth does not bring happiness, then what does? Perhaps happiness has something to do with where you live. The authorities at the World Database on Happiness have surveyed

 of happiness in different countries.

, people in America, Canada, and Singapore are very happy; people living in India and Russia, not surprisingly, are not happy.

           Other surveys consistently

the importance of relationships.
11
请选择
relationships in particular seem to be the key to long-term contentment. The Web site suggests that falling in love and having children are two of the
12
请选择
 that bring the greatest happiness.

             Nowadays people expect technology as an

13
请选择
source of satisfaction. People increasingly spend more time alone watching TV or surfing the Internet
14
请选择
spending time with family. Can technology truly make people happy? It is too difficult to tell, but one thing is sure: If the Web site’s research is accurate, time spent with your family is a better
15

 than time spent making money.
