Now a new study by professor Uri takes another look at the so-called name-letter effect and (43)offers other explanations for the phenomenon.He analyzed records of political donations in the U.S.during the 2004campaign-which included donors'names and employers-and found that the name of a person's workplace more closely related to the first three letters of a person's name than with just the first letter.But he suggests that the reason for the association isn't implied self-esteem,but perhaps something (44)exactly the opposite.
Duyck,one of the researchers whose previous work(45)uncovered the name-letter effect,isn't so quick to abandon the implied self-esteem theory.He pointed out that the sample group Uri studied may have biased the results:Uri analyzed the name-letter effect in a sample of people who donated money to political (46)campaigns.Still,Duyck notes that Uri's theories are credible,and that even while some people may (47)found the same name of companies,employees may be tending to those companies because they start with the same letter as their names.In the end,whatever the explanation for the name-letter effect,no one really disputes that self-esteem is (48)involved on some level.But the true importance of the effect is up for debate."I can't imagine people don't like their own letter more than other letters,"says Uri,"but the differences it makes in really (49)big decisions are probably slim."

Eggplant was first grown in India during the 5th century B.C.Its popularity soon spread to China,and then throughout Asia.Finally,during the Middle Ages the vegetable made its way to Europe.At that time,eggplant was not the (44)shiny purple vegetable people know today.Instead,it (45)resembled a white egg.Due to this egg-like (46)appearance,eggplant got its name.In its early days,the vegetable was so bitter that people often called it a"mad apple".This nickname started because people believed its bitterness was bad for one's health.People actually thought eggplant could cause insanity and cancer.
Fortunately,today people know that eggplant doesn't cause insanity or cancer.In fact,eggplant is so healthy that it may prevent cancer.In addition,the brain and the heart benefit from this (47)super vegetable.Since it is high in fiber,eggplant can also improve digestion.
Italy,Turkey,Egypt,China and Japan are the (48)leadinggrowers of eggplant in the world today.Depending its location,eggplant may be purple,green,orange or yellow-white.And it can be as small as a tomato or as large as a cucumber.Dish (49)varietiesrange from simple to complex,with all of them being delicious.
