Many people want to buy the newest gadget (小玩意) the fastest car and the most expensive watch-but are these things really worth?

For some people, these things give them status(地位) .They're cool because they have a cool car, or they're better at the newest Xbox game. Lots of people say that buying new things makes them happy, They like having new, pretty,impressive things. The problem is that people don't say happy and the feeling you get when you buy something new disappears. For example, there's a new iPhone. You stop liking your old car. Your friend has Beats in a different color and they're so much nicer! Things get old and outdated. And someone else always has something better.

So, what can you buy and stay happy with? A research suggests that the best thing to spend your extra(额外的) money on is doing things like traveling, learning to cook , speaking a language, skiing or surfing. What about going to the theater, eating at a Michelin star restaurant or climbing a mountain?

In the long term(从长远来看)，people are happier with money they spend on activities than on things. You don't remember what shoes you wore, but you remember running the marathon! When you do new things or things you enjoy, you get life experience and memories. You can share them with people. Even it you don't enjoy the experience. you can learn something and often a little while later you see the god sides of it. At least, it's a story to tell-maybe even a funny one.

So forget about designer clothes and fancy gadget- a new skill or experience lasts longer!

Many people use their mobile phones as the alarm clock and are more used to checking e-mails before sleeping. However, these habits are becoming sleeping problems.

Several years ago, my boss used to stay up working on her mobile phone and got badly ill because of that. Now she always leaves her phone in another room at night. And she encourages friends to do so. “I sent each of my friends the same christmas gift – an alarm clock so that they could stop using their phones as the alarm clock,” she said.

If your mobile phone wakes you up in the morning, it may also be keeping you up at night. A study in 2008 showed that people in mobile phone radiation（辐射）mostly had sleeping problems. And according to a Swedish study, a quarter of young people in this country feel like there must be phones around them. Most of them feel sorry for not returning messages. So they even have to reply to their friends before sleeping.

So what kind of people prefer to use mobile phones in their bedrooms? A recent study has shown that three-quarter people aged between 18 and 34 prefer to sleep with their phones near them. That number falls off a little in middle age, but only people aged 65 and older are used to leaving the phone in another room while sleeping.

● the effects of radio waves on blood pressure and the brain, such as the abilities to concentrate, remember and learn the connections between mobile phone use and brain cancer long - term effects of mobile phone use, looking at health histories of people who have used mobiles since the 1980s. They will be looking at both current mobile phones and the new generation of 4G phones. The results from these studies will help us understand more about the world beyond mobile communications. Wouldn’t it be strange if scientists discovered that mobile phones were too dangerous and we had to stop using them and go back to writing letter and using the normal telephone?
