Yes you can earn money online without any investment or without anytime limit. I have many useful easy methods for earning easy money while we all spend our useful time on the Internet by surfing, chatting, downloading and other work. There is no need to stop any other work. We can earn with or without our daily routine. Here I tell you the complete method for online earning.
First Method
Earn money with “Bux. to”. You can earn money through “Bux.to” by clicking on ads on “Bux. to” site. First you need to open an account at “Bux to”.
“Bux. To” is a new international and FREE English based service that allows advertisers to reach thousands of potential customers by displaying their ads on our “Surf Ads” page. An exact calculated percentage of all advertising income is paid to our members. “Bux. to” makes money through advertising.
How you make money
You view websites in 30 seconds through the “Surf Ads” page. Once the 30 seconds is up, you’ll either get a green tick sign or a red “x”. The green tick sign means you’ve earned $0.01and the “x” means you have not earned money for the visit. You’ll get red x’s when you have more than one websites from the “Surf Ads” page open. When this happens, you get no credit.

A few years ago, I felt like a true failure．I was doing Weight Watchers for the third time in order to lose weight but not making progress．
At that time, I spent hours every day working out to my videos and was still overweight．I decided that there was no point in fighting it．I thought I was meant to be fat forever．I needed a change of heart and mind．That change came in the most unexpected way．It came with running．
After dinner on Thanksgiving, I went out for a walk with my family．I had turned my little MP3 player on and was enjoying the music when my favorite song came on．I felt like dancing, but that was out of the question （I had two teenagers with me）．So I caught the speed a bit and started to run slowly．I was quite pleased with my burst of activity．
What was more surprising was that I got up the next morning and went out again．After running, I felt strong and calm at the same time．I recalled the good feelings I felt when I used to run 20 years ago and decided that I wanted more of that．I signed up for a spring race and practiced hard for it．
Even though my weight is still heavier than what I would like, I no longer care about it．I try to stay more focused on my life．Most importantly, my workouts are less than an hour per day and I take Sundays off completely．My goal is to keep exercising in my life but not let it take over my life．After all, I am so much more than my weight．

Have you ever wondered what you would look like if you were an Asian, Middle Eastern, black, white or Indian person? By stepping into the Human Race Machine, you can find out. When you sit inside it, the machine creates a digital image (数字影像) of your face. After pushing certain buttons, the machine uses various photos of people of a certain ethnic group mixed with your own facial features. From this, it can come up with an image showing how you would look as a member of a different race.
The machine is part of a traveling retrospective (回顾展) called “ Seeing and Believing: The Art of Nancy Burson.” Burson is a famous American photographer and inventor. The show of 100 photos and multimedia works was on view at the Grey ArtGallery in New York on April 20.
“ It is a strange feeling, just like stepping into someone else’s skin.” Said Hathy Zajchenko, a museum visitor from Pennsylvania, US. As soon as she sat down, she tried out a range of ethnic groups. “ The Middle Eastern image worked pretty well for me,” she said with a smile.
According to Burson, the machine is a prayer for unity. It is about seeing through differences to find the things we all share in common. Burson added the database (资料库) of Middle Eastern faces, both Arab and Jewish, after the terrorist attacks (恐怖攻击) on September 11. “ I have always wanted to allow people to see differently. I am a photographer. I am recording the unseen, because what we can not see is so much more interesting than what we can see,” Burson said.
For those who missed the show, the Human Race machine will be on view at the New York Hall of Science in the Queens district full-time as of June.

D. she wanted to record what people can not see

Men are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity (名人) chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver, according to a report from Oxford University.
The effect of the celebrity role models, who have given cooking a more manly picture, has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961.
According to the research by Prof. Jonatahn Gershuny, who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford, men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking, up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961.
Prof. Gershuny said, “The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend. There has been 40 years of sexual equality, but there is another 40 years probably to come.”
Women, who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking, now spend just one hour and seven minutes—a great fall, but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.
Some experts have named these men in aprons as “Gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”, who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay, Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd.
“I was married in 1974. When my father came to visit me a few weeks later, I was wearing an apron when I opened the door. He laughed,” said Prof. Gershuny. “That would never happen now.”
Two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week, even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table. Prof. Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a table—with many “family meals” in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room, and shared by family members. “The family meal has changed a lot, and few of us eat—as I did when I was a child—at least two meals a day together as a family. But it has survived in a different format.”
32.What is one reason behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before?
A. The improvement of cooks’ status.[来源:Zxxk.Com]
B. The development of sexual equality campaign.

C. The change of female’s view on cooking.
D. The influence of popular female chefs.
33.What does the author think about the time men and women spend on cooking?
A. Men spend more time cooking than women nowadays.
B. It will take 40 years before men spend more time at the stove than women.
C. Women spend much less time on cooking than before.
D. There is a sharp decline in the time men spend on cooking compared with 1961.
34.How did Prof. Gershuny see the family meal according to the passage?
A. It has become a thing of the past.
B. It is beneficial to the stability of the family.
C. It shouldn’t be advocated in modern times.
D. It is very different from what it used to be.
35.Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Cooking into a New Trend for Men
B. Equality between Men and Women
C. The Changes of Family Meals
D. Cooking—a Thing of the Past for Women

But it never lets you know, because, you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars．So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow．When mind loses its freedom to grow．creativity sets a full stop．This might be the reason why we all sometimes think "What happens next?", "Why can't I think?"
