* Although noise , commonly defined as unwanted sound , is a widely-recognized form of pollution , it is difficult to measure because the discomfort experienced by different individuals is highly subjective and,
therefore , variable Particularly in congested urban areas , the noise produced as a by-product of our
advancing technology causes physical and psychological harm but it also detracts from the quality of life for those who expose to it
Unlike the eye the ear has no lid ; therefore , noise penetrates without protection Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism , including human beings In response , heartbeat and
respiration accelerate, blood vessels constrict, the skin pales , and muscles tense In fact , there is a general
increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear
Because noise is unavoidable in a complex , industrial society , we are constantly responding in the same ways that we would respond to danger Recently , researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be much more than annoyance It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological health and well-being , causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach We have long known that hearing loss is American’s number one non-fatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of noise as well

*Research into happiness is always open to question Do people , when asked , tell the truth about
whether or not they are happy? Isn’t it peculiar to tell a complete stranger that you are miserable? Possibly
Nevertheless, people who fill in questionnaires without giving their names show the same sort of results as those
in open interview It might also be suggested that people do not know whether they are happy or not But , if you
believe that most people are aware of their own emotional state and express it honestly when asked , the
research makes some fascinating discoveries It is interesting to note what does not necessarily make you
happy Class, wealth , social position , intelligence , and race are all poor indicators (although poverty is a good
indicator of unhappiness) Women are slightly happier than men , and older people rather satisfied _though less joyful_ than younger people But most people are _or claim to be_ happy This is , surprisingly , the same for
everyone “Whatever situation people are in, whether they are prisoners or lottery winners, roughly the same
levels of happiness can be found”
Marriage is a greater source of happiness than being single 35 % of married men and 25.5% of married women claim to be very happy, whereas the figures for single men and women are 18.5% and 25.5% However, having children is not the source of happiness many believe it to be Survey after survey shows that happiness levels begin to fall after the birth of a child, reaching their lowest point in the teenage years and only return to previous levels when the children leave home This is rather strange , since people keep on having kids despite the clear evidence that having children makes you less happy One possible explanation is that there are things that people consider more valuable than happiness ,like a feeling of being worthwhile Or maybe bad marriages stick together because of children
