Most people think of racing when they see greyhounds(灰狗) and believe they need lots of exercise.They can actually be quite lazy！Greyhounds are good at fast races but no longdistance running.They do need regular exercise but they like to run for a short burst and then get back on the bed or a comfortable seat.
Another misunderstanding is that greyhounds must be aggressive(好斗的) because they are big in size.In fact greyhounds love people and are gentle with children.
Greyhounds can live for 12～14 years but usually only race for two or three years，and after that they make great pets.They don’t need a lot of space，don’t make a lot of noise，and don’t eat a lot for their size.
Normally，greyhounds can be as tall as 90cm.There is，however，a smallsized greyhound，which stands only 33cm.Greyhounds come in a variety of colours.Grey and yellowishbrown are the most common.Others include black，white，blue，red and brown or a mix of these.
Greyhounds have smooth body coats，low body fat and are very healthy.Because they’re slim(苗条的)，they don’t have the leg problems like other dogs the same height.But they do feel the cold，especially since they would much rather be at home

Autumn blues？Let the sunshine in falling leaves，withering(使枯萎的)flowers and cold winds.For many people late autumn can be a season of gloom(沮丧)and depression.Spirits can be low.People who suffer from “the autumn blues” often are extremely exhausted，lack energy，need more sleep，feel increased appetite and gain weight.
“The exact cause of this condition，often called seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder (SAD)，is not known yet，”says Chen Jue，associate professor at Shanghai Mental Health Center.“But recent studies indicate that weather change is influential and strongly suggest that this condition is caused by changes in the availability of sunlight.”
One theory is that with decreased exposure to sunlight，the biological clock that regulates mood，sleep，and hormones is delayed，running more slowly in winter.Exposure to sunlight may reset the biological clock.
Another theory is that brain chemicals that transmit information between nerves may be altered in individuals with SAD.It is believed that exposure to light can correct these imbalances.
“It is a sad season，but you can try to make it happy.Remember，spring always lives in your heart，”Chen says.
Here are some tips to deal with autumn depression.
—Go outdoors and get some sunlight.Move around.Fresh air and exercise improve the respiratory(呼吸)system and blood circulation and regulate the nervous
