>Chinese surname dictionary published
我国在用姓氏超7000
Li, Wang, Zhang, Liu and Chen are the five most common Chinese surnames, according to a new dictionary containing all 23,813 Chinese surnames, among which more than 7000 are still in use, Xinhua reports. People with the 100 most commonly used surnames make up 85 percent of China's population, and 32 of them are used mainly in North China, where the culture of using family names originated, experts say. The simplest surname, Yi, has only one stroke, while the most complicated surname, Huo'erchuanzhamusuta'erzhiduo, consists of 10 characters. Also in the dictionary are Chai, Mi, You, Yan, Jiang, Chu and Cha – seven daily necessities for the Chinese: firewood, rice, cooking oil, sauce, vinegar and tea.

>Property prices too high in 8 cities
8地房价该下降三亚居首
Sanya, Hainan Province, topped Xinhua's list of the cities with unreasonable property prices, Xinhua reports. Sanya has seen a rapid rise in its property prices as it has developed into a popular tourist destination for both domestic and international travelers. But the housing boom has gone 'abnormal' recently following an increase in investment. The price for a beachside home was about 7,000 yuan per square meter in the first half of 2008. By the end of 2009, it had reached 30,000 yuan. The other cities on the list are Jinan, Hangzhou, Dongguan, Wuhan, Changsha, Qingdao and Chongqing.
新华网房产栏目最近评出了'房价最该下降的八大城市'，海南省的三亚市位居第一。文章分析，三亚作为热门旅游城市，受到国内外消费者的青睐，房价快速上涨亦在预料之中，但如此短的周期集中翻番如此厉害，除非投机资金作怪。2008年上半年三亚的滨海洋房售价在7000元左右，到2009年年底已突破3万。其他七个城市按顺序分别是济南、杭州、东莞、武汉、长沙、青岛和重庆。
>Indian mistress wins 'palimony'
印度:'小三'被弃可获赔(图)
India's mistresses could get rights to 'palimony' if their married lovers abandon them under new rules being considered by its Supreme Court, the Daily Telegraph reports. Under Indian law, only wives and children are entitled to maintenance payments, but a judge in Tamil Nadu ordered a local man to pay his mistress of 14 years 500 rupees a month after he abandoned her. 'You spent 14 years with her,' Justice Katju said to him. 'She lost her youth but you do not want to pay anything to her. She might not have been legally married to you but you have an obligation.' His ruling will now be challenged in the Supreme Court in a decision that could make adultery more expensive than ever for Indian men.
据英国《每日电讯报》报道，印度高院目前正考虑制定新的规定，'小三'们或有权利向抛弃她们的已婚花心男索取'赡养费'。在当前印度法律下，只有妻子和儿女有权要求赡养费，但泰米尔纳德邦法院最近判决一名当地男子支付与其保持了14年关系的情人每月500卢比的赡养费。法官卡徒告诉该男子: '你与她一起度过了14年。她献出了自己的青春而你却什么都不想给她。她也许并不想与你合法结婚，但你同样有义务（要支付赡养费）。'该判决尚等待最高法院作出最后决定，一旦获批，可能意味着以后印度男人出轨的成本将大大增加。
>Man visits 55 Chinese ethnic groups
老人遍访55个民族地区
Wang Yuansong of Wuhan, Hubei Province, is one visit shy of paying all 56 Chinese ethnic groups a visit in their home regions, CnHubei.com reports. Wang began traveling around China in 2002 after buying a series of stamps representing all Chinese ethnicities and gluing each one to an envelope. On each stop of his journey, he would ask the local post office to seal the corresponding stamp. Wang has 55 seals so far, with the remaining unsealed stamp representing the Gaoshan nationality in Taiwan.
据荆楚网报道，还差一个民族，武汉市民王元松就访遍了中国的56个民族地区。据悉，他曾买下一套象征56个民族大团结的邮票，并一一贴在信封上，但直到2002年才开始了环游之旅。每到一处少数民族地区，他便找到当地邮局盖上邮戳。现在已经有55枚邮票盖上了对应民族地区的邮戳，唯一还空着的是代表台湾高山族的那一枚。
>A little alcohol during pregnancy OK
孕妇浅饮微酌有利无害(图)
Researchers say that an occasional glass of wine during pregnancy won't harm a baby's development, the Daily Mail reports. Pregnant women who drink one or two units of alcohol a week may actually find their child is better behaved than if they abstained from alcohol, they say. Women can safely drink a 175-milliliter glass of wine, a 50-milliliter glass of spirits or just under a pint of beer each week without damaging their child's intellectual or behavioral development, according to the researchers' study, which was published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
据英国《每日邮报》报道，研究发现，怀孕期间偶尔小酌一下并不会影响胎儿的发育，相反，怀孕期间每周喝两杯酒的女性发现，她们的孩子比那些滴酒不沾的女性的孩子们表现还要好。有11000位母亲参与这项最近的研究，报告已经刊登在《流行病学和公众卫生》期刊上。文章说，女性每周可放心地喝175毫升葡萄酒、50ml白酒或者一品脱啤酒(约568毫升)，这并不会影响孩子以后智力或行为发育。
>Brief vacation makes people happier
休短假比休长假更快乐
Compared with a long vacation, a brief vacation frequently makes people much happier, Home Health Daily reports. Psychologists found that only the first two days of a long vacation is exhilarating. People will be used to the life style after the seventh day of a long vacation and the pleasure of enjoying a holiday will fade. It also said that a long vacation may interrupt the body's normal schedule and result in health problems. Therefore, psychologists conclude that dividing a long vacation into several parts will be more beneficial.
据《家庭保健报》报道，经常休短假比一次性长假更让人快乐。心理学家发现，长假只有刚开始的两天能给人带来激动与喜悦，而到第7天时，人们已经习惯了假期生活，享受假期的感觉就会逐渐消退。甚至还会因为假期太长而打破正常作息和饮食规律，造成身体不适。因此，将假期分开休更能让人从中获益。

>Man forces dog to smoke in video
小狗被迫吸烟垂死挣扎(图)
A man recorded a video of himself forcing a dog to smoke a cigarette and then put it online, Cqnews.net reports. The video shows a dog hanging upside down in a van with its mouth tied by iron wires. The man then stuck an empty water bottle with a cigarette attached at the bottleneck into the dog's mouth. A moment later, the dog is shown struggling for air. The dog is still alive. The man later published his name and address, saying he would upload more videos of him abusing dogs if this video became popular enough.
