21、When we think about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, a pinnacle(顶点) of sheer(纯粹的) delight. And those pinnacles seem to get rarer the older we get. 【1】 I remember playing police and robbers in the woods, getting a speaking part in the school play. Of course, kids also experience lows, but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved.For teenagers, or people under 20 the concept of happiness changes. 【2】 I can still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to. I also remember the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man.In adulthood the things that bring great joy—birth, love, marriage—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. 【3】 For adults, happiness is complex. 【4】 But I think a better definition of happiness is “ the ability to enjoy something”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved, the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, even good health.While happiness may be more complex for us, the solution is the same as ever. Happiness isn't about what happens to us; it’s the ability to find a positive for every negative, and view a difficulty as a challenge. 【5】

22、In 1842, Ed win C had wick, a British social re former, published his “Report on the Sanitary Condition of the Labouring Population”. By documenting evidence of social and geographic inequalities in health, C had wick showed that poor sanitation was associated with poor health. The report eventually led British cities to organize clean water supplies and to centralize their sewage (污水) systems, in turn reducing the wide - spreading of infectious diseases. Similar reforms around the world in the 20th century tackled food safety and outdoor air pollution. Now a new public-health priority is becoming apparent: making Indoor air cleaner.

Take schools for example. They are “chronically under-ventilated (长期通风不良的)” according to The Lancet COVID-19 commission. A study of 100 American classrooms found 87 with worryingly low ventilation rates. Across Denmark, France, Italy, Norway and Sweden, researchers found that indoor-air quality in 66 % o of classrooms fell short of healthy standards. In America nearly one child in 13 has asthma (哮喘)—a condition caused by allergens often found in schools.

The problem extends well beyond classrooms. Many people spend more than 90 % of their time indoors. Researchers have linked under - ventilated spaces in buildings to a range of illnesses—headaches, tiredness, shortness of breath, coughs, dizziness, and irritation of eye, nose, throat and skin. Poor ventilation has been blamed for increased absence from work. Decreased productivity and asthma.

The pandemic has brought a new urgency to the matter. The virus which causes COVID—19 spreads between people less by close contact and infected surface and more by attaching to aerosol (气溶胶) articles from people ' lungs that can float in the air of an ill-ventilated room.

Indoor-air quality has attracted little government attention. But achieving clean air in buildings and indoor public spaces is possible, The first step is to give people more information on how well-ventilated their air is. Carbon-dioxide concentrations are a good indicator of ventilation, and cheap sensors to detect this gas in rooms could provide people with useful data on when to open windows or upgrade their air-conditioning systems. National indoor-air-quality standards would help, too. One way to enforce (执行) them could be through ventilation certificate for buildings, similar to food-hygiene certificate that already exist for restaurants.

The bill for all this need not be huge. A recent study found that raising the standard of ventilation in all American elementary and secondary schools to the minimum eve would cost less than 0.1% of the country's typical public spending on education.

More investment would be money well spent. Better indoor air boosts academic performance—maths and reading scores go up, and pupils are measurable more attentive in class. Office-workers benefit, too. Researchers have found the lee cognitive scores of people in well-ventilated office are 61% higher than those of workers in conventional office set-ups.

A．Poor indoor air can create a condition for spreading the virus.

B．Poor indoor air can keep the virus settling down in people's lungs.

C．Poor indoor air can make peopled lungs fail to function normally.

D．Poor indoor air can increase the aerosol articles from people's lungs

【3】What is the authors advice on improving indoor-air quality?

A．Calling on the government to pay attention to it.

B．Reducing the amount of carbon dioxide indoors.

C．Encouraging people to do more outdoor activities.

D．Setting up specific standards for indoor-air quality.

【4】What does the author want to say in the last paragraph?

A．It is really worthwhile to improve indoor air quality
