17、d you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Lets start with the w
18、ind blowing from behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90 angle to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case,
19、you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45 angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldnt flap (摆动 ). It shouldnt look like a flag on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing agains
20、t the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you cant go in a straight line.

23、han a treat. I didnt find the chimps tea parties funny, nor the bird shows entertaining. Feeding time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus. And I hated circuses, especially the animal acts men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants
24、and monkeys playing football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals are now almost extinct, and zoos have definitely evo
25、lved. When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors. Each cage had a sign which listed the animals name and where it came from. But, back then, there w
26、as little information included about the environmental challenges they faced. As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos. “Animals belong in the wild,” is a common and understandable complaint. But what do the animals themselves prefer? Generally speaking, zoo animals have a
27、longer life. But you may protest they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isnt so bad.Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos, due to the work of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and
28、Aquariums. These days every zoo requires BIAZAs approval to operate, and the association sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal-research programmes, both in the UK and abroad. BIAZA also organizes the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world. Consequently, today,
29、 most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well-trained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of course its no substitute for living in the wild but unfortunately this isnt always possible. Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and
30、decide for yourself?28. The passage is mainly about _.A. how zoos have improvedB. whether a zoo should be closed downC. a new environmental organizationD. the difference between zoos and circuses29.

An American study suggests that being surrounded by happy friends and neighbors could have more of an effect on your happiness than money. That is the finding of researchers from Harvar
34、d University and the University of California at San Diego.Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler studied the emotional health of more than four thousand seven hundred people. They used information from the Framingham Heart Study. That study began sixty years ago in the American community of Framingha
35、m, Massachusetts. It was started to learn more about the risks of heart attack and stroke. For the new study, the researchers examined the emotions of the men and women in the Framingham Heart Study. The information was gathered from 1983 to 2003. The researchers found that friends of happy people h
36、ad a greater chance of being happy themselves. That means that happiness spreads, or has a contagious effect, among people. And, the smaller the physical distance between friends, the larger the effect they had on each others happiness. For example, a person was twenty percent more likely to feel ha
37、ppy if his/her friend living within one and a half kilometers was also happy. Having a happy neighbor who lived next door increased an individuals chance of being happy by thirty-four percent. The effects of friends happiness lasted for up to a year.Another finding was that people who worked togethe
38、r or were married did not have as much of the effect on happiness levels as friends did. The researchers said this was often true among friends of the same sex.A report on the findings was published this month in the British Medical Journal. Americas National Institute on Aging helped to pay for the
39、 study. Some researchers who were not involved with the study questioned its findings. They said the results could be disputed(争议) unless a separate study showed similar findings.32.
