一句話新聞 始回顧

1. 快樂可以遺傳

You can't buy happiness but it looks like you can at least inherit it， British and Australian researchers said. A study of nearly 1，000 pairs of identical and non-identical twins found genes control half the personality traits that make people happy while factors such as relationships， health and careers are responsible for the rest of our well-being. 快樂買不到，但英國和澳大利亞的研究人員稱，快樂至少可以遺傳得到。一項對近千對同卵及異卵雙胞胎開展的研究發現，在快樂的性格特征中，有一半是由基因控制的，而另一部分則受到人際關系、健康、職業等因素的影響。

3. 日本推出機器人手機 “人味”十足

Softbank Mobile Corp.'s new mobile line looks like a small humanoid with attachable arms and legs， with the screen showing various faces.

5. “自愈”橡膠魔力大 玩具自我修復成可能

Anyone who has heard the snap of a rubber band breaking knows it's time to reach for a replacement. But a group of French scientists have made a self-healing rubber band material that can reclaim its stretchy usefulness by simply pressing the broken edges back together for a few minutes.“啪”！橡皮筋斷了。遇到這種情況，我們都知道該去換根新的。不過，法國一組科研人員日前研制出一種可以“自我愈合”的橡皮筋材料，用這種材料制成的橡皮筋斷了之后，只需將斷裂兩端按住幾分鐘，就能恢復得完好如初。
