3.I am a writer.I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language-the way it can evoke (唤起)an emotion,a visual image,a complex idea,or a simple truth.Language is the tool of my trade.And I use them all-all the Englishes I grew up with.
     Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California,I've been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks.Like others,I have described it to people as"broken"English.But feel embarrassed to say that.It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than"broken",as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed,as if it lacked a certain wholeness.I've heard other terms used,"limited English,"for example.But they seem just as bad,as if everything is limited,including people's perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker.
     I know this for a fact,because when I was growing up,my mother's"limited"English limited my perception of her.I was ashamed of her English.I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say.That is,because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect.And I had plenty of evidence to support me:the fact that people in department stores,at banks,and at restaurants did not take her seriously,did not give her good service,pretended not to understand her,or even acted as if they did not hear her.
     I started writing fiction in 1985.And for reasons I won't get into today,I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with:the English she used with me,which for lack of a better term might be described as"broken",and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese,her internal (内在的) language.and for that I sought to preserve the essence,but neither an English nor a Chinese structure:I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show;her intention,her feelings,the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.

How northern Europeans beat the winter blues
Ask a child from northern Europe to draw two pictures-one on a rainy day and a second in the sunshine-and this is what you will get:in the first,as raindrops fall from the top of the page,the man behind the window has an unhappy expression.When a yellow sun sends out some light from the corner,the man is smiling.
Northern Europeans associate rain with sadness and sunshine with happiness.They think this is true because they are so aware of how their environment affects them.(36)E  In October 2008,a group of researchers examined the influence of different daily weather factors,including temperature,wind and sunlight,on 1,200participants.The conclusion was that good or bad weather had little effect on people's feelings.(37)GA person who is upset on dark or cold days suffers from a negative mood,and he will be likely to experience a sad winter.This is the basis of an illness called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).(38)D
Kalayjian,professor of psychology at Fordham University,advises that we should take steps to strengthen the brain's system against weather-driven mood changes.Research on SAD has been focused on the brain's response to darkness and light.When our eyes detect darkness,the brain gives off melatonin,which starts sleep cycles.(39)A It takes over to help us wake up and feel better when we detect light."We can encourage people to take charge of their feelings,"says Kalayjian."We tell them to leave the computers and the indoor games and get out there in the sun.(40)B"
A day of rain can potentially destroy your plan and affect your mood.But as the Scottish comedian Billy Connolly once said:"There is no such thing as bad weather,only the wrong clothing."

A.Another chemical called serotonin,however,can make people happy.
B.That's when people can recharge their serotonin and get a better mood.
C.Most studies prove that a negative feeling is associated with bad weather.
D.They determined that people actually differ in their sensitivity to weather changes.
E.Yet that link has no scientific basis.
F.It is seriously doubted among the people who suffer from SAD.
G.It affects about 10% of the population of northern Europe each year.
