For want of better names， we shall call these two classes immediate reward and delayed reward. In general， the kind of news which may be expected to give immediate reward are news ofcrime and corruption， accidents and disasters， sports， social events， and human interest. Delayedreward may be expected from news of public affairs， economic matters， social problems， science， education， and health. News of the first kind pays its rewards at once. A reader can enjoy an indirect experiencewithout any of the dangers or stresses involved. He can tremble wildly at an axe-murder， shake his head sympathetically and safely at a hurricane， identify himself with the winning team， laughunderstandingly at a warm little story of children or dogs. News of the second kind， however， pays its rewards later. It sometimes requires the reader totolerate unpleasantness or annoyance — as， for example， when he reads of the threatening foreignituation， the mounting national debt， rising taxes， falling market， scarce housing， and cancer. It has a kind of “threat value.” It is read so that the reader may be informed and prepared. When a reader selects delayed reward news， he pulls himself into the world of surrounding reality to which he can adapt himself only by hard work. When he selects news of the other kind， he usually withdraws from the world of threatening reality toward the dream world. For any individual， of course， the boundaries of these two classes are not stable. For example， asociologist may read news of crime as a social problem， rather than for its immediate reward. Acoach may read a sports story for its threat value: he may have to play that team next week. Apolitician may read an account of his latest successful public meeting， not for its delayed reward， but very much as his wife reads an account of a party. In any given story of corruption or disaster， a thoughtful reader may receive not only the immediate reward of indirect experience， but also the delayed reward of information and preparedness. Therefore， while the division of categories holds in general， an individual’s tendency may transfer any story from one kind of reading to another， or divide the experience between the two kinds of reward.

The first major energy transition was from wood to coal. For many centuries people used wood as a primary source of energy. By burning wood people were able to heat their homes, cook their food, and produce basic items. Most early societies grew up near a sufficient supply of wood. The main advantage of wood was that it was easy to get and easy to bum. During the early 1800's, some towns and villages began to make a transition from wood to coal as a basic source of energy, because they found that coal generally burns longer and at a higher temperature than wood, and a long-burning and hot-burning fuel was badly needed for the machines that were being used at that time. Another advantage of coal was that there was a lot of it and it was also easy to get. Besides, it could be easily shipped to faraway places. As a result of the transition from wood to coal, industry developed very rapidly. People were able to get more things and their standard of living went up. The second major energy transition was from coal to oil. We'll discuss it next week. Why did most early societies grow up near a sufficient supply of wood？ A．Because wood was safer than coal. B．Because wood burned longer than coal. C．Because there was more wood than coal. D．Because they used wood as primary source energy.

We must consider that of desires some are natural, others vain, and of the natural some are necessary and others merely natural; and of the necessary some are necessary for happiness, others for the repose of the body, and others for very life. Unhappiness comes either through fear or through vain and unbridled desire; but if a man curbs these, he can win for himself' the blessedness of understanding. Of desires, all that do not lead to a sense of pain, if they are not satisfied, are not necessary, but involve a craving which is easily dispelled, when the object is hard to procure or they seem likely to produce harm. Wherever in the case of desires which are natural, but do not lead to a sense of pain, if they are not fulfilled, the effort is intense, such pleasures are due to idle imagination, and it is not owing to their own nature that they fail to be dispelled, but owing to the empty imaginings of the man. The disturbance of the soul cannot be ended nor true joy created either by the possession of the greatest wealth or by honour and respect in the eyes of the mob or by anything else that is associated with causes of unlimited desires. We must not violate nature, but obey her; and we shah obey her if we fulfil the necessary desires and also the natural, if they bring no harm to us, but sternly reject the harmful. The man who follows nature and not vain opinions is independent in all things. For in reference to unlimited desires even the greatest wealth is not riches but poverty. Insofar as you are in difficulties, it is because you forget nature; for you create for yourself unlimited fears and desires. It is better for you to be free of fear lying upon a pallet, than to have a golden couch and a rich table and be full of trouble. What does "greater discomfort accrues to us" in Paragraph 1 mean here？ A．We get greater discomfort over a period of time. B．We are tortured by greater discomfort. C．Greater discomfort exists in our body. D．Greater discomfort makes us miserable.

You'd have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week. Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors---he'll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week. I'm sure you'll enjoy this community service…and you'll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you've had experience with children and that you care about your community.
