I live in Minnesota,which is unfairly famous for terrible winters. Buffalo is far more wintry,whereas Seattle w'insters are more bitter. Our winters tend to be brilliantly sunny and cheerful. But,of course, it 's

different for a visitor.

Lightweight thermal （保暖的） wear is good. Back in the day,we wore layers and layers of heavy woolens. A boy of 13 carrying 35 pounds of wet wool on his back does not feel very cold. Today you can buy outfits filled with goose feathers as well as thermal boots and caps to keep you warm.

When I was a youth,there was no such phrase as global warming. We never got warm,not even at night,wh en we slept under piles of blankets because Dad believed that if you couldn t see your breath when you talked,then the thermostat was turned up too high and you were wasting fuel. So 45 degrees was room temperature,and we wore long woolens to bed. We arose in the cold,dark dawn,and walked forth into the snowstorm to catch the school bus. We huddled（蜷缩）by the highway,praying for the bus to come,while wolves moved around eyeballing us for sig ns of sleepiness. When you have survived wolves,then the winters of today are a walk in the park.

En duri ng win ter is only a start —embraci ng （拥抱）win ter is what you should struggle for. Win ter gives a sense of

purpose and saves one from a life of self-gratification （自我满足）,lying down and posting photos on Facebook. You have promises to keep. A sidewalk to clear. Two in ches of snow over a layer of ice —you may as well set a leg trap for the elderly as leavi ng the walk un swept.

You have childre n to raise. Remove their fin gers from their smart phon es,a nd lead them outdoors so

they can absorb the wisdom of win ter. We are ani mals. Life is not mainly about self-expressi on .It is about finding food and cloth ing and shelter,about stick ing with the pack and not wan deri ng off. Every on eis just as cold as you. No compla ining.

You might not realize just how much work goes into making a n ewspaper. Apart from search ing for a good story and the en dless edit ing required to correct mistakes, copy editors n eed to make sure that everyth ing fits perfectly. A good headline tells as much as possible in a short space. There never seems to be quite eno ugh space to express completely what you want to say.

News headlines often focus on the central and most important new information. The relevantly

in sig ni fica nt in formati on might be left out i n order to stress the main idea or just to be brief. News headli nes

are featured by the vivid Ian guage. They add someth ing special to attract readers ' eyes. Be aims to describe the main focus of the story in six or seven words, every word counts and accuracy is decisive. For in sta nee, 朿9杀stab a”etter verb tha n “ kill ” because it tells the reader how the crim inal

did his deed; similarly, “ Toyota is a better noun than “ car ”ut the make of a good headline is not

characterized necessarily by the amount of information in it. For instanee, the front-page headline on the Los Angeles Times on September 11 —the day New York ' s World Trade Center was attackedimply —

read “ TERROR STRIKES , all in capitals大写字母）.While these two words do not describe how, where or why the buildings were attacked, theywere accompanied by a half-page photo that captured（捕捉）the event in which around 3,000 people lost their lives.

But to no rmal lift riders, the butt ons aren ompletely uselestsc Accord ing to psychologists, fake butt ons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.

“ A sense of con trol is very importa nt. It reduces stress and in creases well -be ing. Said Elle n J. Lan ger, a

psychology profess or at Harvard Uni versity. Experts also added that a lot of butt ons that don ' exist in our lives for this same purpose.

For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons don ' t live up to their names either. Pressing them used to help make the traffic sig nals cha nge faster, but that was before computer con trolled traffic sig nals were in troduced.

But psychologists found it in teresti ng that even whe n people are aware of these little
