Researchers from the faculty of civil engineering, Universiti Teknologi Mara in Malaysia have successfully developed an environmentally friendly version of building concrete called green-mix concrete.

In this project, researchers introduced a green concrete that is designed and made using conventional materials but partially replaced with suitable waste and recycled materials to achieve acceptable performance, economics and sustainability.

When it comes to building structures, developers have the advantage of choosing from a wide range of materials to use. Generally, the decision on material choice depends on several factors including cost and performance for specific applications.

Due to growing interest in sustainable(可持续的) development and various pushing measures provided by the Government of Malaysia, the key players in the construction industry are motivated more than ever before to use materials that are sustainable or in such a way that their environmental impact is minimal.

In 2009,the Malaysian government launched the Green Building Index(GBI) to encourage the construction of buildings using green technology, and introduced pushing measures for owners to obtain the GBI certificate for new or existing buildings. There have also been efforts to reduce air pollution and concrete has an important role to play.

The new concrete can be produced using waste materials as one of its components. Green concrete can also be developed using various production processes that are not harmful to the environment. The use of recycled or waste materials can be considered sustainable as they can reduce costs and raw materials.

Despite the countless differences between people’s characters and careers, or their likes and their dislikes, it seems that we are all connected in this wonderful world by one thing—the pursuit(追求)of happiness.

For me, happiness is horse riding, Cadbury Crème Eggs and spending time with my friends. Some people are at their happiest at home, while others find their paradise through traveling in far-off foreign lands. Happiness can be as simple as a surprise bunch of fresh flowers or a really strong coffee, just when you need it most. Sometimes, happiness comes from spending time with loved ones; at other times, it’s having a quiet night at home, with nothing but a movie and a comfortable bed for company.

Since it comes in so many shapes and sizes, it’s sometimes easy to take happiness for granted. Maybe you overslept, missed the bus and had to walk to school in the rain, only to be told off for being late. Or perhaps, because of work, you had to cancel plans with friends, despite looking forward to seeing them for ages. Forgotten keys, delayed flights, an argument with your parents, untimely illness or injury. . . all very frustrated and understandably guaranteed to make you feel unhappy.

Luckily, there are a few simple ways to make the glass seem half-full again. To start with, things like trying out cycling or walking instead of driving to work and listening to music are great mood-boosters. Volunteering and getting involved with a charity are two ways in which you can become happier through helping others. Last but not least, trying hugging on your way to happiness; it’s been suggested that we humans need at least five hugs a day. If you’ve been having a bad day, there’s nothing better than a good old bear hug.

9. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?

A. Happiness is getting what you need.

B. Flowers can easily surprise someone.

C. One man’s meat is another man’s poison.

D. Happiness means different things to different people.

10. To tell us that it’s easy for people to take happiness for granted, the author______.

A. performs an experiment B. provides some examples

C. tells an interesting story D. presents some difficulties

11. By “make the glass seem half-full again”, the author means“______”.

A. make up for your loss B. refill the glass half full

C. make you feel happy again D. help you become a positive man

Younger students experience school bullying (欺凌) more frequently than older ones, and male students are bullied more than their female peers, a survey found.

It also found that nearly half of students had been intentionally hit or knocked down by classmates. About 6 percent said they are targeted by bullies on campus every day. The survey also found that students from ordinary schools experienced more bullying than peers from key institutions, and children from poor families are more likely to be bullied at school.

Being bullied can have a negative impact on a child’s personal development and academic performance, according to Zhou Jinyan, a researcher who led the study at Beijing Normal University. “Children being bullied will find it hard to trust others,” Zhou said. “They may often feel anxiety, anger, resentment or depression. These emotions will further undermine their ability to control their own life.”

In recent years, bullying on Chinese campuses has been frequently reported and has attracted widespread attention and concern. The most recent incident to arouse heated discussions took place in December at Beijing’s Zhongguancun No.2 Primary School. A fourth-grade student was bullied and laughed at by classmates, causing him acute stress disorder.
