These things make you look young
One study found that those who see aging as a chance are more active，social and successful than those who don't.
Researchers studying longevity also say those who feel a sense of purpose and direction in life may live longer. Positive people can be expected to live as many as five years longer than the unhappy ones.
If you want to look and feel young and happy，here are five ways to achieve it.
1. Think before you speak.
Is what you're about to say actually true?Is it necessary? Is it kind? If you often use social media，please check your facts first.
2. Look for the positive in something you dislike.
Don't be all "Damn kids these days! " just because the latest music or dance craze or humor or hairstyles aren't the same as yours. Lighten up and open your mind. First，not everything requires your opinion. Second，some of these fads make for a good laugh later in life. Enjoy them. And third，challenge yourself to find something positive in the thing that you don't like.
3. Talk to people you normally don't speak to.
Even the youngest of children can educate you about something. Want a great conversation starter? Ask a young person about their favorite app or video game. You'd be amazed at what you'll learn. Communication is a great connector among generations.
4. Listen to new music.
Valslist.com is a fantastic way to educate yourself about today's music. You will discover new artists with sounds and vibes similar to your favorite oldie bands.
5. Push your comfort zone.
Watch a documentary，volunteer for a worthy cause，try a new form of exercise，read a different newspaper，purposely hang out with people with opposing views. Not a fan of guns? Hire a gun specialist to teach you to handle guns safely.
The secret to endless radiance and happiness is an open，curious mind. Don't let a "difference is wrong" mindset age you before your time. There is far too much living and laughing to do. (SD-Agencies)

A science fiction flying car looks like a normal car, but it is an aircraft (飞行器) that anybody can fly directly from any place to another without using roads or runways. Science fiction writers have written about flying cars for a long time. But now flying cars will soon fly out of the world of science fiction into our real world. And the dream of the science fiction writers will soon come true.
The first-known sky car is the FSC-1. The FSC-1 looks like an expensive sports car. You can drive the FSC-1 on the road like a normal car. If you touch a button, its wings and propeller (螺旋桨) fold out and then it can take off, fly and land as an airplane. The owners of the FSC-1 can choose if they want to drive or fly.
Another flying car or sky car is the Moller Skycar M400. Although you can’t drive it on the roads, it is small and easy to fly and can take off and land like a helicopter (直升飞机). Urban Aeronautics’ X-Hawk is another type of sky car. It is expected to be available for about $3 million.
Just like any new technology, flying cars have taken a long time to be developed. But some experts think the technology is far from what people imagine when they are sitting in traffic. It still needs to be improved.
