For many people late autumn can be a season of gloom and depression.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 decreased exposure to sunlight,the biological clock that regulates mood,
sleep,and hormones is delayed,running more slowly in winter.Exposure to light may reset the biological
clock.
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.
"It is a sad season,but you can try to make it happy.Remember,spring always lives in your heart,"
Chen says.
Here are some tips to deal with autumn depression.
-Go outdoors and get some sunlight.Move around.Fresh air and exercise improve the respiratory
(呼吸) 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.
-Keep a chocolate bar in your pocket.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.
-Decorate your room and work space with flowers.Blooming plants are cheering.
-Call friends or family when you feel lonely or depressed.Recall some happy memories.

From the health point of view we are living in a wonderful age. We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. It is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased largely. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable slaughter (屠杀) of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.
It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel（方向盘）, his car becomes the additional part of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They swear, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and completely selfish. All their hidden anger, disappointments and envies seem to be exposed by the act of driving.
The surprising thing is that society only smiles so kindly on the motorist when seeing his behaviors talked about above. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost unsuitable to live because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is damaged by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.
It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. In regard to driving, the laws of some countries are dishonorably loose and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through inflexible annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can destroy a person’s driving ability, so present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. The highest and lowest speed limits should be put on all roads, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound unacceptably harsh. But surely nothing should be considered to be too severe if it results in reducing the annual loss of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not for motor-cars.

| Traditionally,customers may consider more about what they buy the product for.However,the image of product and the consuming circumstance have become the key points to attract customer awareness and stimulate their buying needs. Frequently,customers buy goods just because they are cute,lovely and unique.With a less emphasis on functional utilities, the experience and imaginative space are placed into an increasingly important role.The image of product is emphasized, as well as the communication between products and consumers."Customer behavior,which appears to be focused and directed at the object and at pleasure,in fact responds to quite different objectives:displaced expression of desire,and the production of a code of social values through the use of differential signs" (Baudrillard).The reason for image-oriented customer behavior is probably that customers' lifestyle has been continuously virtualized by paying much attention to "Virtual Reality".The evidences can be traced from computer games and Hollywood movies,in which customers' preference for fleeing reality is perfectly matched. This change requires us to take efforts to enhance product image by integrating style,color,taste,shape and material, and communicate with customers creatively,imaginatively and innovatively,and enable them to enjoy the distictive experience image brings." "〔A〕need is not a need for a particular object as much as it is a 'need' for difference" (Baudrillard).The typical example is Apple Computers IMAC,which has strong visual impact and outstanding dynamics. By this way,customer relationship can be set up through image,and brand can be treated as living that can transform people.Other examples commonly used are Disney Fairyland and Las Vegas,where new experience and imagination are fully demonstrated.In sum, consumption is negotiation,a never-ending conversation held in the languages of advertising, packaging,branding,fashion,and entertainment.
