Most of us trade money for entertainment.__1__But if you think you can't have a good time without spending lots of money, read on. You can find some new discoveries.

Remember one sentence: the best things in nature are free. If you have the eyes to find fun around you, though you have no money, you can have a great time!

__2__Stroll through busy streets and see what everybody else is doing. You will probably see people from all over the world; you will certainly see people of every age, size, and shape, and you will get a free fashion show, too.

Check the listings in your neighborhood newspaper. Local colleges or schools often welcome the public to hear an interesting speech or a good debate. __3__Be sure to check commercial advertisements in the newspapers, too. A flea market can provide hours of pleasant browsing. Perhaps you can find a free cooking or crafts demonstration in a department store.

__4__It is always more pleasant not to have people in front of you in a museum or at a zoo. You may save some money, too, for these places often set aside one or two free admission days at slow times.

Pretend that you are a tourist travelling in this city from time to time, and get to know your city all over again including the sights that people travel miles to see.__5__

　　When it comes to the world of computers, green computing is becoming one of the most popular trends．But, what is exactly is green computing?

　　The term “green computing” is one that is being used in many different markets and areas all over the world in today’s global technology．Yet, many computer users out there aren’t sure what it means．Green computing is actually pretty easy to explain and to do---it is basically learning to use computer resources more efficiently to help the environment as well as making energy savings．The main goal of a green computing program is to reduce the use of energy and materials that harm the environment．Green computing helps to promote the use of biodegradable products and recycle computer parts whenever possible．

　　Green computing started as early as 1992, when the EPA created Energy Star, which is a voluntary labeling program that promotes energy efficient computing equipment and technologies．

　　It was because of this program that many computer manufacturers launched sleep mode and millions of computer users around the world began to adopt this policy to help save energy when they were not using their computers．The term “green computing” began to be used around the same time as well, and began to become a goal that more companies strive to meet over the years．There are several government agencies that have continued to help strive for better standards for computers and companies to help promote green promoting．Energy Star was actually revised in October of 2006 to make the requirements stricter for computers，and also implemented a ranking system for products．Because of these new requirements, there are over 20 states that have now established a special recycling program for old computers and electronics to help with green computing．

　　Many of today’s IT systems are beginning to rely on both people and hardware to help push their computer systems toward a more green computing system to help both the company and others．This is a hard balance to achieve, as it has to satisfy users, management, and regulatory compliance(顺从)．Even the disposal of computer waste is all managed so that everyone in the circle is happy with the outcome．Many companies are learning the best ways that they call go greener when it comes to their computing and also help their business in the process．While many home computer users may not be quite as familiar with green computing as large firms, this term is starting to become more mainstream all around the world and the requirements for new, better computers to help both the companies and the end users of the equipment, as well as our environment, are becoming more and more urgent．

Happiness is U-shaped, for we are happier at the start and end of our lives but hit a slump when we are middle-aged, British and US researchers say.

Economists from the University of Warwick, central England, and from Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, looked at data on the mental health of two million people from 80 countries.

In Britain, the probability of depression for men and women peaks at around 44 years of age, Warwick University said in a press release.

In the United States, though, there was a big difference between men and women.

Among women, unhappiness peaked at around the age of 40, whereas among men, it was about 50.

But the U-shape of happiness is constant around the world, and mid-life depression takes place regardless of marital status, changes in job or income.

The study appears in Social Science & Medicine, published by the Dutch publishing house Elsevier.

"It happens to men and women ,to single and married people, to rich and poor and to those with and without children." said co-author Andrew Oswald.

One possibility may be that people realize they won't achieve many of their aspirations at middle age, the researchers said.

Another reason could be that after seeing their fellow middle-aged peers begin to die, people begin to value their own remaining years and embrace life once more.

But the good news is that if people make it to aged 70 and are still physically fit, they are on average as happy and mentally healthy as a 20-year old.

"For the average persons in the modern world, the dip in mental health and happiness comes on slowly, not suddenly in a single year," Oswald said. "Only in their fifties do people emerge from this low period,"
