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.”
