Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. We go fishing,sit in the garden,have a picnic,live in the suburbs or go to the seaside.The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk.When joggers jog,they don’t run the streets.Every one of them tend to go to the park or the river.

But despite this,our children are growing up nature deprived(剥夺).I spent my boyhood climbing trees.These days,children are robbed of these ancient freedoms,due to problems like crime,traffic,the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children,that is to say,things that can be bought,rather than things that can be found.

The truth is to be found elsewhere.A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(多动症).Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.

ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood. One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children.However,we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.

The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature.The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years.And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality.Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.

We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being,our health and our happiness.

Sina Weibo, one of the country’s most popular micro-blogging sites,has launched a paid service.For a 10 yuan ($ l.57) monthly fee, users get a membership on their Sina Weibo accounts.

According to Xu Yuanyuan, a member of the marketing team at Sina, themove is to guarantee a more convenient and safer environment for users.But despite the company’s efforts to increase income, it seems that most of its 300 million users still prefer the free version.

The premium membership (高级会员) plans ,announced by the company on Monday, brought about negative comments from its users .

“The current service is good enough for me”, said a Beijing-based micro-blogger.“I don’t really need those value-added services and it might be a waste of money.I might consider paying for it if some more features are added.”

Dong Xu, an analyst with consulting firm Analysys International, said that Sina shouldn’t expect a great increase in income brought by the new services.The free services are enough for most users, Dong said. “The company has been making attempts at different profit models since last year.A potential source of income could be gaming.Games and advertisements are so far the two biggest sources of income.” she said.

Other micro-blogging service providers have not yet followed suit.Fang Gang, vice-president of rival Sohu, said via e-mail on Tuesday that Sohu’s micro-blogging service will never charge users.“It’s good news for us.Users can come to our website if they have to pay for services (at Sina).” Fang said.
