Its crude oil from the Daqing and Shenbei oilfields is world-renowned high paraffin-content oil that has a paraffincontent of 25% and 42% respectively. This unique, scarce resource of high-paraffin-base crude gives CNPC great advantages in the production of quality paraffin products. CNPC has the only high-pressure paraffin hydrofining unit in China. Designed to run at a pressure as high as 18Mpa, this unit can produce food-grade paraffin products and high-melting-point paraffin products.

1. How to be Happy如何获得幸福In the past two weeks we have looked at the happiness formula defined by positive psychologist Martin Seligman, where H (happiness) = S (your biological set point for feeling happy) + C (the conditions of your life) + V (the voluntary choices you make). Next, we'll look at the conditions in life that can improve our happiness quotient.过去两周我们研究了一项幸福公式，这是由乐观心理学家马丁塞利格曼定义的。
H(幸福)=S(个人生理幸福感受的固定指数)+C(个人生活状态)+V(个人主观选择)。
接下来我们将着眼于能提升幸福指数的生活状态。
Step 1: Peace and quiet第一步：平和宁静Jonathon Haidt in his excellent book, 'The Happiness Hypothesis', notes that research shows that we can never completely adapt to new or chronic noise pollution. 乔纳森海迪在他的优秀著作《幸福假说》当中提到，研究调查显示，我们不可能完全适应噪音污染，无论是新近的还是长期的。
Loud noises trigger one of our most primitive fear responses (the other is the fear of falling) and we can never fully relax if we are surrounded by intrusive noise. 巨大噪声会引起我们某种面对恐惧本能反映(另一种是对于坠落的恐惧)，如果周遭噪音喧闹，我们不可能完全放松。

1.■Petroleum or crude oil is a naturally occurring, toxic, flammable liquid consisting of a 石油或原油是天然形成的、有毒的、可燃性的液体，是含有不同分子量的碳氢化合物以及其它有机化合物的复杂混合物。
它是在地球表面下的地质层中发现的。
石油大部分是通过石油钻探开采得到的。
石油很容易按不同馏程进行炼制和分离成为大量的消费产品，从汽油、煤油到沥青以及用作制造塑料和药品的化学试剂///严格意义上来说，石油仅仅包含原油，但是惯用法上，它包括石油和天然气。
石油和天然气主要是烃类混合物。
在地面压力和温度条件下，轻质的碳氢化合物甲烷、乙烷、丙烷和丁烷以气体的形式出现，而重质的碳氢化合物如戊烷和重于戊烷的烃都是以液体或固体的形式出现。
然而，在地下油藏，气体或液体的比例变化的取决于亚地表层条件和石油混合物的相图。
//油井主要生产原油，伴有一些天然气溶解在其中。
因为地表的压力低于地下的压力，一些气体将从溶液中溢出，或者以伴生气或溶解气被回收（或燃烧）。
气井主要是产生天然气。
然而，由于地下温度和压力比地表高一些，气体中或许含有较重的碳氢化合物，例如气态的戊烷、己烷和庚烷。
在地表条件下，这些较重的碳氢化合物将会从气体中析出，形成天然气的凝聚物，经常简称为凝析油。
凝析油外观上类似于汽油，组成类似于一些挥发性的轻原油。
2.■Petrochemicals are generally chemical compounds derived from petroleum either by direct 石化产品通常指直接或间接地从石油中提炼的化合物，这些化合物往往是石油炼制各种过程中产生的副产品。
汽油、煤油、燃料油、润滑油、石蜡、沥青以及诸如此类的产品不属于石化产品。
因为，从严格意义上说，它们不是化合物，而是烃类的混合物。
像“石化产品”这样的物质分类用来表明化合物的来源。
