On one of her trips to New York severalyears ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of New York friends out todinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Slide café and within minutes,another customer was approaching their table.

“Hey, aren’t youfrom Mississippi?” the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked bythe stranger. “I’m from Mississippi too.”

Without a second thought, the woman joinedthe Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.

“They begantelling me all the news ofMississippi,” Welty said. “I didn’t know what my NewYork friends were thinking.”

Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarerthan 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 backdowntown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn ofevents that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi

“My friends said: ‘Nowwe believe your stories,’” Welty added. And I said: ‘Now you know. These arethe people that make me write them.’”

Sitting on a soda in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple graydress, looked pleased with this explanation.

“I don’t make them up,” she said of the characters in her fictionthese last 50 or so years. “I don’t have to.”

Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats,Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walksthrough the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheardon a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out.Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularlyinteresting story.

If you are a fruit grower — or would like to become one —take advantage of Apple Day to seewhat’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like AppleMonth. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events nowspread out over most of October around Britain.

Visiting an apple event is a good chance tosee, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to thelimited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala insupermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classicalapples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans.Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is theknobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’sHead which is more of a curiosity than anything else.

There are also varieties developed to suitspecific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality isOrleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil togrow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.

At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which oneswill best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, childrenare well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.

Apple Days are being held at all sorts ofplaces with an interest in fruit,including stately gardens and commercialorchards(果园).If youwant to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National FruitCollection at Brogdale,near Faversham in Kent.

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. Nonews is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for theevening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is beingspread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. Bytracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that goodnews can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.

“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for massmedia,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “Theywant your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share astory with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t wantthem to think of you as a Debbie Downer.” zxx.k

Researchers analyzing word-of-mouthcommunication—e-mails，Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that ittended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news.Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more goodthings than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how peoplespread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New YorkTimes’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list forsix months. One of his first finds was that articles in the science sectionwere much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found thatscience amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feelingwith others.

Readers also tended to share articles thatwere exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger oranxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and theypreferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely itwas to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: WhyThings Catch On.” z.xxk
