We all know that it's good to be kind to others.But what does that mean for us？What acts of kindness will make us happiest and who benefit the most？A new review of kindness research provides some answers.
Researchers analyzed the results from 126 research articles looking at almost 200，000 participants from around the world.The studies they chose all had to meet certain criteria,such as including only adults and reporting good statistical data.Some were experiments while others just surveyed people about how kind and happy they were.The studies measured well-being in many ways,including both mental and physical health.
As expected,people who were kind tended to have higher well-being.Although the relationship was not stronger than it was,lead researcher Bryant Hui was still encouraged by the result. " Although the relationship is weaker,the effect still have a significant impact, " he says.
He and his colleagues considered when kindness might have a bigger impact on our well-being.One thing they found was that people who performed random,informal acts of kindness tended to be happier than people who performed more formal acts of kindness.It's possible that informal helping may fill our more basic psychological needs for close relationships,which is why it could lead to greater happiness.
The researchers also found that people who were kind tended to have a higher sense of meaning and purpose in life.Perhaps this makes sense,given that being kind involves effort which makes people feel confident about themselves and their abilities.And that provides sense of meaning.
(1) How did the researchers get the finding？______
A. By doing surveys. B. By carrying out experiments.
C. By comparing research data. D. By analyzing results of articles.

A. Because it makes people healthier.
B. Because it boosts close relationships.

D. Because it promotes awareness of responsibility.

A. Act of Kindness Makes Us Feel Good.
B. Being Kind Makes Us Healthy and Happy.
C. Random Act of Kindness is Better than Formal Ones.
D. Doing Act of Kindness to Others Improves Our Abilities.

Northwestern University engineers have added a new capability to electronic microchip：flight.
About the size of a grain of sand,the new flying microchip does not have a motor or engine.Instead,it catches flight on the wind — much like a maple tee's seed — and spins like a helicopter through the air toward the ground.
By studying maple trees and other types of wind dispersed （风散的） seeds,the engineers designed the microflier's aerodynamics （空气动力特性） to ensure that it falls at a slow rate in a controlled manner.This behaviour stabilizes its flight,making it ideal for monitoring air pollution and airborne （空气传播的） disease.
As the smallest-ever human- made flying structures,these microfliers also can be packed with ultra-miniaturized technology,including sensors,power sources,wireless communication and data storing.
The original goal was to add winged flight to small-scale electronic systems,with the idea that these capabilities would allow them to distribute highly functional,miniaturized electronic devices to sense the environment for pollution and disease monitoring.
" We were able to do that using ideas inspired by the biological world.Over the course of billions of years,nature has designed seeds with very complex aerodynamics.We borrowed those design concepts,adapted them and applied them to electronic circuit platforms, " said John A．Rogers,who led the device's development.Yonggang Huang,the Jan and Marcia Achenbach Professor of Mechanical Engineering at McCormick,led the study's theoretical work.
(1) Where does the microchip get its power to fly？______
A. From a motor. B. From an engine. C. From wind. D. From sunlight.
(2) What is the microchips' original purpose？______
A. Data storing. B. Wireless communication.
C. Weather forecasting. D. Pollution and disease monitoring.
(3) What can we infer from Rogers' words in the last paragraph？______
A. Nature has a long history. B. They got inspired by nature.
C. Nature is the best designer. D. They created the design concepts.
(4) What is the text？______
A. A short story. B. A diary. C. A travel guide. D. A news report.

Many of the stories that I read on HelpOthers are all about helping other people,doing acts of kindness for someone else.Often times it's easy to forget that no matter who you are,you're not always the giver.Sometimes it's we who receive that random act of kindness.When it happens,it almost feels odd（古怪的） to some extent that you are on the other end- receiving vs.giving.In some way,it can be quite a humbling（使谦恭） experience.
My daughter and I went into Subway one evening to get sandwiches for the two of us,plus one for my wife.Before going to Subway,I had checked my bank account to make sure that I had money on my debit card.I had moved what I thought to be several hundred dollars to my card.Coming out in a hurry,I never confirmed the transaction and so I actually had no money in my account.
When I stepped up to cash register to pay for our sandwiches,my debit card got rejected.I stood there telling the cashier it had to be a mistake.So they ran it again.REJECTED!!!Well,I was sure most people have been in this sort of situation and how embarrassing it could be.Of course,there was a long line of people waiting,hearing this whole thing.Behind me,I noticed there was a young man in his mid-20's.I asked the cashier to hold the sandwiches and that I would come back for them.I went out to my car and called my son,asking him to check my account on line.Well,I learned I never actually moved the money.
I was explaining to my son what he needed to do to put money into my account when all of a sudden there was a knock at my car window.The young man who had been standing behind me in line was standing there holding a bag.I was surprised and wondered what was going on.
