It may sound hard to believe in this digital age but Yang Hao, 32-year-old doctoral student studying in the UK, had a solo trip the old-fashioned way last year. He used a printed map, paying for everything (use) cash or a bank card, reading train timetables, and talking to strangers.

Over the course of 134 days, he visited 68 counties and cities in 24 provinces and regions across China, read 40 books, and used two cameras to record he saw and experienced along the way. "I realized that those 134 days were the most fulfilling,(focus) and productive period of my life. It was an experience of absolute(concentrate)," says Yang. Since his story was posted online, it (bring) about widespread discussion and reflection on the modern dependence technology. One netizen named Yangbu'er,(comment) that "while technology makes the world smallerwe seem to have more resources to hand, we also lose some things". Another from Fujian province wrote that not having a phone would bring anxiety in modern society because phones combine many functions in one.

Though he foresaw that it would trigger (引发) some discussion, the public attention his journey has drawn is (true)beyond his imagination. Now, he keeps a degree of distance from the Internet, and does not have Wi-Fi connected to his phone and also limits his phone usage to 90 minutes per day.

I had always envied my friends who were3 news about "chat rooms", "instant messaging" and "emailing", all of which I knew4 about. Now I was going to find out. I was searching for some information on my laptop when I5 a social networking site. Soon I became fascinated with my new-found electronic friend.

As time passed, I realized that I was6 to the Internet. It came to a point where I chose to lock myself in my room,7 to come out and take part in family discussions. Soon, my sleep was8 to only scattered (分散的) naps, and my grades at school also began getting worse.

My parents started voicing their9. It became obvious to them that I was spending too much time on the Internet. I was asked to reduce my usage of the Internet.10, however hard I tried, I was unable to pull myself away, unable to11my chat sessions and unable to concentrate on my lessons.

Take regular naps

You don't want a casual napping schedule where you sleep "sometimes early, sometimes late, sometimes short." So pick a time, like after lunch or in between your afternoon meetings and stick to it.. If you're napping in your car on your lunch break for example, consider bringing a pillow, an eye mask or earplugs to help boost your nap experience.

From the moment you wake up in the morning, sleep pressure builds in your body to push you to fall asleep again at the end of the day. Napping relieves some of that pressure, so it's important that you nap early enough in the day for it to build back up by bedtime. If you follow a conventional nighttime sleep schedule, take a nap between noon and 3 p.m..

Keep your nap brief

. It might be painful if you're a fan of a long, leisurely afternoon snooze. However, the truth is that longer naps can lead to sleep inertia (睡眠惯性) more easily because you might enter deeper sleep, making it harder to wake up. If you find yourself falling asleep quickly and dipping into deep sleep with only 30 minutes of napping, that's a sign you're not getting enough sleep at night. If this is the case, take steps to raise the quality of your nighttime sleep.

A. Nap early in the day

B. Follow a nap schedule early

C. A good, short nap can offer mental health benefits

D. That sleepy, almost-drunk feeling is called sleep inertia

E. Experts suggest keeping your naps from 10 minutes to an hour tops

F. Use the same sleep environment each time and create a cosy nap space

G. For people who work nights, take a nap at least 6 hours before you sleep

It found that attending live sporting events results in higher scores of two major measurements of subjective wellbeing-life satisfaction and a sense of "life being worthwhile" — as well as lower levels of loneliness. These results are significant as previous studies have shown that higher life satisfaction scores are associated with fewer life-limiting conditions, better physical health and successful ageing.

The new study also found that attending live sporting events leads to an increase in people's sense that "life is worthwhile," and the size of this increase is comparable to that of gaining employment. Watching live sporting events can also offer an accessible and effective public health tool for improving wellbeing.

Lead author Dr Helen Keyes, Head of the School of Psychology and Sport Science at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), said: "Previous research has focused on certain sports or small population groups, such as college students in the United States. Ours is the first study to look at the benefits of attending any sporting event across an adult population, and therefore our findings could be useful for shaping future public health strategies, such as offering reduced ticket prices for certain groups."

The live events covered by the survey ranged from free amateur (业余的) events, such as watching village sports teams, right through to Premier League football matches. Therefore, further research needs to be carried out to see if these benefits are more pronounced for top level sport, or are more closely linked to supporting a specific team.

However, without doubt, watching live sport of all types provides many opportunities for social interaction and this helps to shape group identity and belonging, which in turn boosts levels of wellbeing.

Earlier this year, mystery box travel became trendy among China's young people. In normal trips, people often plan their vacations well in advance. After buying a mystery box at a low price — usually 100 or 200 yuan — the travelers using this method will select their departure airport and then receive several destinations to choose from. After the destination is decided, their trip begins.

Liao Liangyu, 16, has turned his eagerness to go on a mystery box trip into reality. He took a mystery box trip with a couple of friends months ago. It started when one of them got a mystery box ticket to Changsha, the capital city of Hunan province. Surprisingly, Liao happened to get Changsha too. Right before their departure, a friend told Liao that Changsha was a super hyped-up (被炒作) Internet-famous site. But he still decided to go and see it for himself. "My biggest discovery is that Changsha is a city full of contrasts," Liao explained to China Daily. "You can see tall buildings and low houses in the same view."

Since the destination options include many less popular cities, travel mystery boxes also bring economic benefits to them. For example, Dehong city is a beautiful city in Yunnan province yet has few visitors due to a lack of promotion. Following its inclusion as a mystery box travel destination, however, it has gained a lot of attention and is now thought of as a popular destination for tourism.

But even so, a large number of people feel disappointed with travel mystery boxes because they can face many problems after buying one, such as improper travel times, sudden flight cancellations, or even challenges with refunds (退款). Sun Weili from Ctrip suggested in an interview with Haibao News that visitors should select reliable platforms and sign contracts to ensure their interests.
