On one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of

New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes,

another customer was approaching their table.

“

Hey, aren

’

t you from Mississippi?

”

the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked

by the stranger.

“

I

’

m from Mississippi too.

”

Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed

up, she also pulled up a chair.

“

They

began

telling

me

all

the

news

of

Mississippi,

”

Welty

said.

“

I

didn

t

know

what

my

New York friends were thinking.

”

Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the

time the group got up to

leave,

it

was

pouring

outside.

Welty

s

new

friends

immediately

sent

a

waiter

to

find

a

cab.

Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events

that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi state reunion (

团聚

).

“

My friends said:

‘

Now we believe your stories,

’”

Welty added.

“

And I said:

‘

Now you know.

These are the people that make me write them.

’”

Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with

this explanation.

s more like Apple Month. The day itself

is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around

Britain.

Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To

people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in

supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence,

such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those

are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information

is being spread and monitored (

监控

) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By

tracking people’s

e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster

and farther than disasters and sob stories.

“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University

of Pennsylvania. “They want your

eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share

a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you

as a Debbie Downer.”

found that it tended to be more positive than negative(

), but

that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often

simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility,
