Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Florida39。s mild winters, I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years. I39。m like a migratory bird that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season. So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display o163。 colors — first in the fall trees, and then in the limits around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate too, but can39。t create the special feel of a New England winter. I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven39。t seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors39。 children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snowcovered branch (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement munity in Ridge, and I39。m grateful that I don39。t have to shovel.） While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I e back.

That statement is probably made in parison to training for work straight after school, which might not be so encouraging. But is it actually true? Jessika Golle of the University of T252。bingen, in Germany, thought she would try to find out. Her result, however, is not quite what might be expected. As she reports in Psychological Science this week, she found that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their immediate postschool years in vocational (職業(yè)的) training for work. However, it was not the case that university broadened minds. Rather, work seemed to narrow them. Dr. Golle came to this conclusion after she and a team of colleagues studied the early careers of 2,095 German youngsters. The team used two standardized tests to assess their volunteers. One was of personality traits, including openness, conscientiousness（認(rèn)真）and so on. The other was of attitudes, such as realisti
