Town of Apple Valley While we became an official Town in 1998, our history goes back much further. Local historians have found signs of Serrano Indian camps along the Mojave River in Apple Valley, which were already here when Francisco Garcés arrived in 1776. There are many stories about how Apple Valley acquired its name. According to Mary Hampton, the name arose from the abundance of apple orchards（果园）that existed here in the 1920s.

It may seem like a strange response: to break down in tears when you are happy. But now a group of psychologists say they have found the reason why.
Oriana Aragon, the lead author of the report which will be published in the journal
Psychological Science, said: “People may be restoring emotional balance with these
expressions.
“They seem to take people when people are overwhelmed（不能自持）with strong positive emotions, and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions.”
The psychologists from Yale University examined subjects’ emotional responses to different situations, including happy reunions and “cute” babies.
They found individuals who expressed negative reactions to positive news were able to melt their strong emotions more quickly.
They showed examples of where people responded to a positive experience with a negative emotion, including concert goers screaming in horror at the presence of their hero and lottery winners breaking down in tears.
The report authors said: “To give an example, upon winning the lottery, one might judge the event to be an extremely good thing; feel overwhelmed with happiness and smile, yet there is also an expression of crying which normatively expresses sadness.
“This expression is not inherent（固有的）to the situation, the judgement, or the positive emotions. The negative expression might be merely a facial display, or it might reflect actual negative emotions.”
Miss Aragon, a postdoctoral associate at Yale, said the research went some of the way to explaining a common response that most people did not understand.
“These insights advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions, which is importantly related to mental and physical health,” she said.
The psychologists claimed that there was also some evidence that the opposite was also true and that strong negative feelings may induce positive expressions.
For example, people often laugh when they are nervous or faced with a difficult
