Dubai Police has renamcd its community service department the "General Department for Community Happiness" and the force often adds # YourSecurityOurHappincss to their tweets (用推特发送的信息).Meanwhile, various government agencies have changed the language of their customer surveys to find out if people are u happy rather than just satis fied” with the services, and some have investigated social media followers to see if their Instagram and Facebook posts bring happiness.Meik Wiking, an independent think tank in Denmark, the country which tops the UV s happy table, thinks governme nts can and should play a role in public happ in ess.“The aim of public policy should be to improve the quality of life for people, ” he says.Sonia Edwards, who has lived in the UAE for over a decade, says：“I think it's a bit of a public relations gimmick to be honest.

Unit 2 Working the land李仕才一、阅读理解In the dead of winter，we don’t typically think about spending time outdoors，but according to many physicians we should.The sun is our greatest source of a vitamin that is essential for good health—Vitamin D．This important vitamin strengthens bones and teeth and is linked to the prevention of heart disease，cancer and many other lifethreatening diseases.The recommended daily requirement is 400－600 International Units (IU). In summer, people with dark brown eyes and darker skin turn sunlight from just 15 minutes outside without sunscreen into adequate amounts of Vitamin D．Even during winter, just a 10minute walk at midday can keep the body’s Vitamin D at healthy levels.During brief winter walks，we receive the greatest benefits when we wear no sunscreen and expose as much skin to the sun as possible.Vitamin D can be also obtained from foods.Salmon is one of the best sources of the Vitamin.Egg yolks(蛋黄)，cheese，mushrooms and some animal organs contain smaller quantities of it.To attract consumers，food companies add Vitamin D to some of their milk products.The practice of putting the Vitamin into milk began in the 1930s.At that time，many children were suffering from rickets，an illness that is caused by a deficiency(缺乏)of Vitamin D．It made the children’s bones soft and weak.Adding Vitamin D to milk helped to solve the problem, and it has been available ever since.For people who still need more Vitamin D, there is another option；Take Vitamin D supplements(补充物)．These products are widely sold in stores.However，anyoneconsidering taking supplements should consult a physician first.【解题导语】本文是一篇科普文，主要介绍了维生素D的一些情况。

He had more than 160 reports as a reporter on the Metro desk and more than 170 in 19 months as a national journalist based in Kansas City，Mo.But perhaps the most important piece of writing that A．G.Sulzberger did for The New York Times before Wednesday—when he was named deputy publisher—was not an article and was not published in The Times，but was all about The Times.That work came to be known as the “innovation(创新)report”，which zeroed in on the importance of a digital future for the newspaper his family has owned since 1896 and said The Times risked losing its leading place if it did not make sweeping changes.In a conversation in his office on Wednesday，Mr.Sulzberger said he saw the innovatio n report and the thinking that led to his conclusions as“a wakeup call to the newsroom that we were at risk of missing the moment”．“It was always easy to see how changes will endanger the traditions of the place，”he said，“but what became really clear to me was not changing was the more dangerous course if we cared about the traditions of the place.”Unlike some of the former deputy publishers in his role，Mr.Sulzberger has been more experienced in the newsroom than in advertising or consumer marketing.Still，his colleagues described him as a quick study whose modesty masked deep inner confidence.Besides，in the newsroom or out on an assignment，Mr.Sulzberger did not show off his connection to The Times' owners.“I recognized the name.”said Vincent Bova，a video editor who figured in a feature article that Mr.Sulzberger wrote in 2010.“I mean，I knew I was dealing with royalty.There was no reason for me to bring that up with him，and he didn't.”So Mr.Sulzberger，in some way，has qualified himself for the position since long time ago.1．A.G.Sulzberger wrote the“innovation report”mainly to ________.A．urge revolutions in The TimesB．gain the position of deputy publisherC．promote changes in New York CityD．show directions to his family future2．What is the biggest threat to traditional media according to Mr.Sulzberger?A．Scientific developments.B．Rapid social changes.C．Their own stubbornness.D．Decreasing readers.3．How does the author show us what Mr.Sulzberger is like in the last paragraph?A．By comparing him with others.B．By interviewing him in person.C．By giving examples of his routines.D．By quoting comments from others.4．What does the author think of Mr.Sulzberger according to the passage?A．Casual. B．Objective.C．Admirable. D．Critical.【解题导语】本篇文章属于人物介绍类，介绍了著名出版人A.G.Sulzberger 对《纽约时报》的重要贡献，还介绍了他提出的“创新报道”理论以及他人对他的评价。

What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed at the entrance? Or the soft background music?But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, custome rs’ intension to purchase increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sale. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce)has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar shops(实体店)can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.Now, a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of t heir perfect scent.1. According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?A.Friendly assistant.B.Unique scents.C.Soft background musicD.Attractive window display.2. E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _______ .A. show the advantages of brick-and-mortar storesB. urge shop assistants to change their attitudeC. push stores to use sights and soundsD. introduce the rise of e-commerce3. Which statement would the writer agree with?A.Put different shop on the products on display.B.Ask every shop assistant to wear light perfume.C.Place fragrant flowers in the shopD.Expose some coffee bean to air inside a coffee shop.4.
