4、There are two types of people in the world.  Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy.  This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.

　　People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things.  The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather.  They enjoy all the cheerful things.  Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.  Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied.  By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend(or hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere.  If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied.  The intention of criticizing(批評) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿).  It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors.  The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes.  I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.

　　Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck.  Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect.  This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments.  If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success.  Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes.  If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings.  These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others.  If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接觸) with them.  Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

3、United States President George W.  Bush is expected to issue a directive in the next few weeks.  It will give the US Air Force a green light for the development of space weapons, US media reported last week.

This would potentially start a new global arms race, some experts have warned.

To keep that from happening, last Wednesday the White House explained that it was not considering putting weapons in space.  It said it was making a shift in US space policy to allow for protection of satellites.

But some defense analysts and arms control advocates argue that the policy will pave the way for the US to put both defensive and offensive ( 攻擊性的) weapons in space.

“No one should be fooled,” said Theresa Hitchens, an American weapons expert.

The US is now restricted by a 1996 directive  signed by President Bill Clinton.  Plans for space weapons were vetoed ( 否決) by the Clinton cabinet.  The directive emphasized the peaceful use of space , in agreement with almost unanimous (一致的 ) global opinion.

The US military has placed importance on space and has sent up numberous satellites for troop communications and to provide intelligence and data to guide bombs to their targets.

The US Air Force wants to develop space- based weapons that could strike targets anywhere in the world within 90 minutes of receiving the order to open fire.

These new weapons under development cover a wide range.  They include hunter- killer satellites and orbiting weapons.  And they use lasers, radio waves, or even dense metal tubes, known as “ Rods from God”, dropped from space to do the damage.

There are many barriers to the setting up of this kind of program, experts say.

First is the coast.  It is estimated that the budget may be US $220 billion to US $ 1 trillion ( 萬億).

The technical difficulties of developing reliable space weapons are also a problem.

And, the program will draw strong criticism from around the world.  Experts worry about starting a space arms race.
