Canadian experts have found that so – called self – help books may actually do more harm than good to people who really need help.Researchers say that individuals (个人) with low respect felt much worse after repeating positive statements about themselves.

In their study, psychologists Joanne Wood and John Lee sought to determine how positive thinking affected people with different levels of self – confidence.They questioned dozens of people both made and female, analyzed their self – worth and optimism by means of the standard psychological methods and then asked them to write down their thoughts and feelings.The scoring system ranged from 0 to 35.

During the experiment, the researchers asked a total of 68 participants to repeat the self-help book phrase, “I am a lovable person.” After that they measured the participants’ moods and their feelings about themselves.The results revealed that the participants in the low self – respect group who repeated the mantra (颂歌), were feeling much worse afterwards, when compared to other participants in low self – respect group who did not repeat the phrase.Those with low self – respect who repeated the phrase scored an average of 10 points.Their counterparts (对比者) with equally low self – respect who were not asked to repeat the statement, were able to score a little higher average of 17 points.

However, individuals with high self – respect reported feeling better after repeating the positive self – statement – but only slightly.They scored an average of 31 points, compared with an average of 25 for those with equally high self – respect who did not repeat the phrase.

Professor Wood urged those who promote self – help books, magazines and television shows to stop telling people that simply repeating a positive mantra could change one’s life.First, people start following this idea and feel like they are not alone.They are told that all they have to do is just to read that book and then to repeat these positive statements in a hope that things will be better, and when it does not work for them and they realize that nothing gets better, then it is really frustration to people.

Researchers concluded: “Repeating positive self – statements may benefit certain people such as individuals with high self – respect but discourage the very people who need confidence the most.”

The experts tried to find out, when repeating positive self – statements,         

       A.the different influences on people with different levels of self - confidence

       B.whether males or females will get more benefit from self – help books

       C.which group of people self – help books will do the greatest harm to

       D.who will get the least benefit from self – help book

How many points did the low self – respect participants get after repeating the self – help book phrase?

       A.An average of 10 points.      B.An average of 17 points.

       C.An average of 31 points.      D.An average of 25 points.

So – called self – help books do some good to          

       A.people lacking confidence

       B.people with high self - respect

       C.people with problems to settle urgently

       D.people repeating positive self – statements

Some time ago during my vacation period, I traveled to Europe to tour the various parts of France.Our tour group was made up of forty—five travelers from different countries.My three friends and I made up the Canadian team on the bus.
As time passed we got to know each Other better and in some ways the new friendships that grew became as valuable and as memorable as the trip itself.
On the last day of the tour we were traveling through the peaceful French countryside when our guide came on the microphone.He said,“We are presently passing through World War I battlefields just south of Vimy Ridge.If you look to your right, just across the field there, you will see the war memorial that the people of France built to the Canadian soldiers who fought so bravely here.Even today some residents from the surrounding towns place flowers on the memorial regularly.My dear Canadian friends at the back of the bus, I would like to say thank you for the unselfish acts of your Canadian soldiers.”
Across the grassy field, the stone monument stood proud against the French sky.A Canadian flag rippled softly in the calm breeze.Lost in the moment, I could imagine the sights and sounds of war.Suddenly an unexpected wave of emotion swept over me.I felt great sadness for those men who never returned home to Canada, but at the same time my heart was filled with an enormous sense of pride.Tears welled up in my eyes.I was embarrassed by my uncontrolled reaction.As I turned around I realized that each of my friends had experienced the same feelings, their eyes also wet with tears.

Computer mouse is no longer so strong. A Canadian engineer has invented a system that enables a computer user to push a cursor(光标)across a screen simply by moving his or her nose .He calls his nose-driven mouse a mouse.

The inventor ,Dmity Gorodnichy ,came up with the idea for the mouse while building computer software that would help astronauts operate the Canadarm—a long robotic arm on the U.S. space shuttle .His system employs a web-camera that recognizes a computer user’s nose from 25 pixels ,or points of light. Dmity chose the nose because its position remains relatively constant no matter which way the head moves .The system keeps track of the pixels, and the user matches the movements of his or her nose with the progress of the cursor across the screen.

The mouse keeps track of the eyes too. Two blinks(眨眼)are a “double click,” which turns the mouse on or off.

The mouse has received mixed comments from those who hold opposite opinions. One called it “a pointless waste of technology” . Another predicted that the nouse will fail to catch on because it makes users “look silly.” Dmity has already adapted the nouse for NousePong, a video game ,and NousePaint ,a drawing program.

He also predicts that the mouse will attract the people who have suffered from specific disease-pain ,senselessness ,or trembling in the hand caused by the frequent repetition of movements of the wrist and fingers ,such as typing at a computer keyboard .His next plan is to adapt the nouse for use by paralyzed(瘫痪)patients in hospitals .With two blinks of the eyes ,patients could double-click for help.
