China is planning to readjust its public holidays to relieve the increasingly heavier burden placed on its hot tourist attractions during the“Golden Weeks”, officials from the China National Tourism Administration was quoted as saying by Hong Kong-based Wen Wei Po．

　　The newspaper on Monday said that the administration had drafted a proposal suggesting several adjustment strategies．The proposal is expected to be submitted to the National People's Congress for discussion．

　　At the close of the nation's National Day holidays, also the 21st“Golden Week”since the system was introduced in 1999, golden weeks over the past eight years have brought about huge returns for the nation's tourism industry．However, voices calling for cancellation of the nationwide holidays are becoming ever stronger as such travels have posed big pressures on nationwide transportation, accommodation and environmental protection．

　　According to a survey launched by a mainland media outlet, 61.46 percent of a total of 3,071 participants in the survey are in favor of making changes to such public holidays．

　　Experts also say that current week-long holidays that fall on every May 1 and October 1 are not an ideal way for people to take a break．Holiday makers blindly follow the overwhelming push of the tourism administration to rush between different sightseeing spots without even taking enough rest．Moreover, these travelers have also caused a big headache to accommodation and transportation services in tourist locations, said Wang Jianmin, a researcher from the Tourism Research Centre of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences．

　　The survey also finds that there is an increasing number of advocates who suggest the prolonging of rest days over traditional Chinese festivals, such as the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival．

　　If you struggled to get up for work on Wednesdays, there could be a good reason-it is the day our mood reaches its lowest point．

　　Psychologists have found that, on average, people's moods remain about the same on each day throughout the week．

　　Monday has traditionally been thought of as the most depressing day of the week but according to psychologists, midweek gives more cause for concern in reality．

　　Wednesday represented the lowest point in the week as people were furthest away from the weekend that has either just gone or is coming up and often feel bogged down with work．

　　To start their research, the University of Sydney scientists asked around 200 people what they thought their mood would be on each day of the week．

　　Most said their worst moods were on Monday mornings and evenings but they became increasingly cheerful as the week wore on, with their best moods falling on Friday and Saturday momings and evenings．

　　When asked why they believed that Friday and Saturday were best, respondents said they saw them as less-structured days when they could choose how to spend their time．

　　The psychologists then asked a further 350 people how they felt each day．They found that, on average, people's moods remained about the same on each day throughout the week．

　　Mondays were not as depressing as they had feared and Fridays and Saturdays were not as exciting as predicted．

　　Professor Charles Areni, who led the study, said the day-of-the-week stereotypes stem from a cultural belief that people are generally happier when they are free to choose their activities compared to when they are engaged in paid work．

　　In reality, he said, weekends do not often see moods soar because they are frequently dominated by productive activities that may require large amounts of energy and begin to feel tired like work．

　　"Day-of-the-week stereotypes like 'Monday Moming Blues' and 'Thank God It's Friday' are largely illusions, " he said．
