Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Should Westernized Place Names Be Driven Out? A residential community in a small city in China has been named Venice. Another is named Manhattan after the famous New York borough. These are just a couple of examples of the current phenomenon sweeping construction sites across China: naming them after Western landmarks.Some worry that the trend of using foreign place names as well as bizarre, exaggerated names, such as calling a community a garden even though there is no actual garden to speak of, is eroding local and traditional culture. Many argue that the penetration of these names could create inconvenience and even confuse residents, especially senior citizens who are used to traditional names. The Chinese Government has recently launched an initiative to address these concerns. The naming of streets, residential communities and parks will be standardized, with names deemed inappropriate and those used by several places being cut from the list of acceptable monikers.Some people think these names are just a symbol, so it's unnecessary to be too serious about their naming. "Today, foreign names can be seen everywhere, particularly on commercial buildings, and real estate developers are increasingly miming residential communities in an international style. Superficially, these are just names. But if you look deeper, you will see that this penetration of foreign names will have a negative impact on traditional Chinese culture." Said Guo Xilin, from Chinese Journal Net.

The cold is bad enough, but winter's shorter days make the season a downer, to say the least. But how real is seasonal affective disorder(known as SAD)? SAD is often a catch-all term to describe the winter dumps, but experts say it's often misused and the condition is actually less common than people think. "There are a lot of myths. SAD is not a myth. It is a mental disorder that is incompletely understood and also something that is complicated by questions about the role of evolutionary biology, " says Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman, the president of the American Psychiatric Association. That diagnosis is different from the lows that many feel during the winter months. In fact, research shows many people overestimate the impact of seasons on their moods in general. Where is the line between SAD and the simple doldrums? How much winter sadness is the product of a mood-based disorder, and how much is a natural outcome of being cooped up indoors? SAD is considered a subtype of a mood disorder like depression or bipolar disorder(躁郁症), so a very small percentage are actually diagnosed with it. In order to meet the qualifications for a SAD diagnosis, according to the Mayo Clinic, an individual must be show the following: depression and other symptoms for a minimum of two consecutive years during the same season; depression-free periods following episodes of depression; unexplained behavior and mood changes. For most other cases of seasonal mood changes, Lieberman says making some lifestyle changes such as exercising or keeping good sleeping habits can help. "It's important to realize that just like people on Mondays have physical and emotional symptoms, you deal with it. You don't take a treatment for Mondays. " It only warrants treatment when it starts to interfere with daily life, he says. What about the bright light lamps that claim to relieve depression during the darker months? They're based on the idea that light therapy can boost melatonin(褪黑激素)levels, and also serotonin(血清素)in the brain—higher levels of serotonin between nerve connections can have anti-depressive effects. But as appealing as that sounds, Lieberman says there isn't solid evidence behind it. "Light therapy is not a fake, but the evidence is not that strong, " he says. "But since it's not invasive, it also isn't harmful—except perhaps to your budget. " So if you're not feeling your usual cheerful self this winter, see your doctor. If he doesn't diagnose you with SAD, try adding some physical activity to your day and getting regular sleep. And remember that spring is just a few months away.
