Autumn blues? Let the sunshine in．

　　Falling leaves, whithering flowers, sold 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 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(改变)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(呼吸)system and blood circulation and regulate the nerves 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．

　　　　5　　 Blooming plants are cheering

　　We live in a noisy world．Young and old alike are troubled by sounds over which we may have little or no control：car and house alarms, motorcycles, loudspeakers, even movie previews．

　　We attend rock concerts, weddings, parties and sports events at which the music is so loud you can hardly hear the person sitting next to you．At home, televisions, stereos and computer games are often turned up so loud that listeners cannot hear a doorbell or a telephone．

　　As if environmental noise were not enough, now we surround children with noisy toys and personal listening devices that can permanently damage their hearing．A series of studies conducted in 2002 indicated that even moderate(缓和的)background noise can interfere with how they learn language．In fact, children in classrooms on the noisy side of a school had lower reading scores than those whose classes were on the quiet side．

　　Noise-induced(噪音诱发的)hearing loss can come about in two ways：from a brief exposure to a very loud noise or from consistent(不断的)exposure to moderate-level noise．Thus, there is much concern about the lasting effects of MP3 players that are turned up loud enough to block out surrounding sound, like street noise．An MP3 player at maximum volume produces about 105 decibels(分贝)－100 times as severe as 85 decibels, where hearing damage begins．

　　So, before buying noisemaking toys, parents would do well to listen to how loud they are．If the item comes with a volume control, monitor its use to make sure it is kept near the lowest level．Consider returning gifts that make loud noises, or disable the noise-making function．Children who play computer games and stereo equipment should be warned to keep the volume down．Most iPods have a control that allows parents to set a maximum volume．

　　Don’t take children to loud action movies．If you do go and the sound seems deafening, ask the management to turn down the volume or insist on your money back．

　　The League for the Hard of Hearing urges parents to encourage children to take part in quiet activities, like reading, doing puzzles, making things with construction toys, playing educational computer games, drawing and painting, and visiting libraries and museums．
