17、as if spring were simply a matter of pressing a switch. Hills, sky and forest revealed their purples, blues and green. Then there was the old apple tree. It sits on an undeveloped lot in my neighborhood. It belongs to no one and therefore to everyone. The trees dark branches stretch out in unpruned(

18、未经修剪的)abandon. Until last year, I thought I was the only one aware of this tree. And then one day, in a bit of spring madness, I set out to prune(修剪)a few disorderly branches. No sooner had I arrived under the tree than neighbors opened their windows and stepped onto their porches(门廊). These were pe

19、ople I barely knew, but it was as if I had come uninvited into their personal gardens. My mobile-home neighbor was the first to speak. “Youre not going to cut it down, are you?” she asked anxiously. Soon, half the neighborhood joined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there for f

20、ive years and only now was learning these peoples names, what they did for a living and how they passed the winter. It was as if the old apple tree was gathering us under its branches for the purpose of both acquaintanceship and shared wonder. Just the other day, I saw one neighbor at the local stor

And its a common debate between couples the perfect temperature to keep both parties warm but not hot. Research doe

25、s consistently show women prefer a higher indoor temperature to men.

Women also have more fat between the skin and the mu

26、scles, so the skin feels colder, as its slightly further away from blood vessels. Women also tend to have a lower metabolic(代谢)rate than men, which reduces heat production during cold exposure, making women more likely to feel cold as the temperature drops. The hormones oestrogen and progesterone(雌激

27、素和孕激素), found in large quantities in women, contribute to the core body and skin temperatures. Oestrogen dilates(扩张)blood vessels at the extremities. This means more heat can be lost to the surrounding air. And progesterone can cause the vessels in the skin to narrow, meaning less blood will flow to

28、 some areas to keep the inner organs warmer, leaving women feeling cooler. So how do we agree on the ideal temperature? The “Scandinavian sleep method”, where couples sleep with separate blankets, is one way to overcome the differences in temperature preferences. In the workplace, personal comfort s

29、ystems are heat systems that can be locally positioned in individual work stations such as desktops, chairs, or near the feet and legs.
