Guanshan among world's best sunset spots: CNN
Taipei, Aug. 14 (CNA) Southern Taiwan's
Guanshan was chosen by CNN earlier this week as one of the world's most superb
sunset spots, the Tourism Bureau said Wednesday.
Guanshan has made the list of best sunset
sites because it offers an excellent view of Hengchun Peninsula, a popular
tourist spot in the south of the island, CNN said Monday.
"What (Guanshan) has is beautiful hot
springs and forests," said the American news network, which has lauded
Taiwanese cuisine and townships in previous reports.
The fact that there are no trains or
highways on the peninsula, where the 152-meter-high mountain Guanshan sits, has
made the area a paradise for sunset watching, CNN said.
Besides Guanshan, CNN listed 11 other
remarkable sunset spots across the world, including the Grand Canyon in the
U.S., West Lake in China, Phnom Bakheng in Cambodia and Easter Island in Chile.

不快樂的FB
How
gossiping with friends on Facebook only makes you glum By Nick Mcdermott
Scientist claims more time spent of the
site the worse you feel
Study looked at browsing habits of 82 adults
with Facebook accounts
Volunteers asked to rate level of life
satisfaction at the start and end
Found happiness levels declined the more
they used Facebook
It is used by millions of people to stay in
touch with friends and family.
But far from brightening their day,
Facebook could be making its users more unhappy.
Scientists have found the more time
individuals spend on the social networking site, the worse they subsequently
feel.

More than one in three Britons use Facebook
every day, with 24 million logging on to share their latest goings on.
‘On the
surface, Facebook provides an invaluable resource for fulfilling the basic
human need for social connection,’ said lead researchers Dr Ethan Kross, a
psychologist at the University of Michigan.
‘But rather
than enhance well-being, we found that Facebook use predicts the opposite
result - it undermines it.’ Research carried out earlier this year at the University
of Chester suggested Facebook friends are no substitute for the real thing.
It found people are happier and laugh 50
per cent more when talking face-to-face with friends or via webcam than when
they use social networking sites.
And the current study backed these
findings, with participants who had direct interactions with other people
feeling better over time.
In contrast, the more individuals used
Facebook during the period, the greater the reduction in their life
satisfaction levels.
‘This is a result
of critical importance because it goes to the very heart of the influence that
social networks may have on people’s lives,’ said co-author John Jonides, a
cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Michigan.

美研究：臉書用太多 反而不快樂
【綜合報導】美國密西根大學研究顯示，臉書用太多，雖會增加網路社交能力，但是可能越不快樂。
該研究找來82名年輕人進行調查，並在14天時間內，每天隨機發5封簡訊，詢問他們的主觀幸福感。帶領研究團隊的密西根大學社會心理學家克羅斯(Ethan Kross)就說：「表面上，臉書為實現人類社會連結基本需求，帶來寶貴資源。」 、「但我們發現，臉書不但無法讓人更快樂，反而減少幸福感。」
研究結果也顯示，受測者依賴臉書的程度越高，生活滿意度就越差。相反地，若人親身接觸其他人的機會越多，生活滿意度反而較高。
