9、ately, Derek was born completely blind, but this didnt stop his family from believing that he could do anything he wanted, even if that meant becoming a surfer.At age 2, Derek received a bodyboard and the beaches of Guarapari, Brazil, became his backyard.

16、ely to be affected by overheating, thanks to something called the urban heat island effect. Cities tend to be short of trees, which provide shade, and they are covered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day

17、. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.The average temperature in a city of a million or more people can be more than 5 degrees F hotter than surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from uncomfortable to deadly. As tempera

19、an black asphalt （沥青）. It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring.

20、rable for people with asthma （哮喘） and other breathing problems.Of course, LA will have to do more than paint over a few streets to cool off the city. Angelinos will also need to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftops-at least those not already covered in solar panels. While LA is a pione

21、er of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering the temperature by planting trees. LA is hardly alone in its effort to stay cool.“This is an urgent challenge, and its much bigger than one person,” said Mayor Garcetti

27、ignificant benefits for an overall sense of well-being,” said Dr. Juliet Wakefield, a psychologist at Nottingham Trent University.“We tend to identify with groups that share our values, interests and life priorities（优先）, as well as those that support us in times of crisis, and we can see how this wo

28、uld be linked to happiness.

29、ed to certain groups, and then measured the influence this had upon their levels of happiness. Its important to note that identifying with a group isnt the same as membership, though. You can be a member of a group with which you feel no connection at all. Its that subjective（主观的） sense of belonging
