Where do you want to travel this year? What are some of your favorite vacation spots? See some places we have picked as the top destinations for 2010．
● Sri Lanka
The island feels like one big tropical zoo: elephants roam freely, water buffaloes （水牛） idle in paddy fields and monkeys swing from trees．And then there's the beautiful coastline．Among the most scenic is Nilaveli Beach in the Tamil north．Vacationers can lie on poolside hammocks （吊床） under palm trees or swim in its crystal-clear waters．Or they can order cocktails at the Nilaveli Beach Hotel．
● Shanghai
Following up on Beijing's successful Olympics, Shanghai is expecting 70 million visitors to its World Expo．From May 1 to Oct．31, more than 200 nations and regions will turn a two-square-mile site by the city's Huangpu River into an architectural playground: Switzerland will be represented by a building shaped like a map of that country, while England is in the celebrated hands of the designer Thomas Heatherwick．However, by contrast, the United States pavilion might be mistaken for a suburban （郊区的） office park．
● Copenhagen
Last year, thousands of environmentalists challenged world leaders in Copenhagen for the climate summit, but the Danish capital has already emerged as one of the world's greenest, and maybe coolest, cities．In Copenhagen, long, flat roads all have bicycle paths where locals cycle around the city．Away from all the modernism and the happy cyclists, cultural thrill-seekers are being attracted to the district of Norrebro, where the city's young crowd the cafes and galleries or dance in local clubs until the early hours．

Autumn blues? Let the sunshine in falling leaves, withering flowers, cold winds, faint sunshine.     1.     Spirits can be low.

People who suffer from the “autumn blues” often are extremely exhausted, lack energy, need more sleep, feel increased appetite and gain weight.

“The exact cause of this condition, often called seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder(SAD), is not known yet,” says Chen Jue, associate professor at Shanghai Mental Health Center. “But recent studies indicate that weather change is influential and strongly suggest that this condition is caused by changes in the availability of sunlight.”

One theory is that with the decreased exposure to sunlight, the biological clock that regulates mood, sleep and hormones is delayed, running more slowly in winter.     2.         Another theory is that brain chemicals that transmit information between nerves may be altered in individuals with SAD. It is believed that exposure to light can correct these imbalances.

“   3.    Remember, spring always lives in your heart,” Chen says.

Here are some tips to deal with autumn depression.

Go outdoors and get some sunlight. More around. Fresh air and exercise improve the respiratory system and blood circulation and regulate the nervous system. Thus exercise is calming and relieves one’s mood.

Relax at work. Stretch, breathe deeply. Take a tea break. Think of your next vacation.

4.    Chocolate and sugar raise the spirits.

Look at bright colors, such as red and orange. Color therapy improves mood.

Listen to your favorite music. You can dance to it, or just lie on a cozy couch, reading a novel.

   5.     Blooming plants are cheering.

Call friends or family when you feel lonely or depressed. Recall some happy memories.

A. Exposure to light may reset the biological clock.
