BTo extinguish (熄灭) different kinds of fires, several types of fire extinguishers have been invented. They must be ready for immediate use

Since fuel, oxygen (氧气) and heat must be present in order for fire to exist, one or more of these things m
18、ust be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire. If the heat is reduced by cooling the material below a certain temperature, the fire goes out. The cooling method is the most common way to put out a fire. Water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get. Another method of
19、extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen. This is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some other things. A blanket may be used do cover a small fire.

CAfter 40 years of research, social scientists find happiness results from three major origins: genes, events and values. Armed with this knowledge and a few simple rules, we can improve our lives and the lives o
24、f those around us. Every other year for four decades, about a third of Americans have said theyre “very happy” and about half report being “pretty happy.” Only about 10 to 15 percent typically say theyre “not too happy.” Beneath these averages are some differences. Politicians might be interested to
25、 learn that traditional women feel particularly happy, about 40 percent say they are very happy. That makes them slightly happier than traditional men and obviously happier than openminded women. The unhappiest of all are open minded men; only about a fifth consider themselves very happy. What expla
26、ins the differences?The first answer involves our genes. These researchers found that we receive a surprising part of our happinessaround 48 percent from parents. And studies suggest that onetime eventslike getting a dream job or receive an unexpected gift do control a big part of our happinessup to
27、 40 percent.But each events influence proves rather shortlived. People suppose that major changes like getting a big raise will make them permanently better off. They wont.
