By now we’ve all heared (heard)about the placebo effect(affect): just by thinking a pill will help cure what ails you, it often does. Well it turns out doctors sometimes take advantages of this effect(affect). Yes, doctors, at least doctors in Chicago, occasionally purposely prescribe placebos. That’s according to a study in the journal of General and (-)Internal Medicine. Of 231 internets (internists)in Chicago who answered the survey in Chicago, 45% said they abuse (have used)placebos on accasion. The medicines of choices included antibiotics, vitemines(vitamins), eyboprophin(ibuprofen), and amounts of medication too small to be therapeutic, all prescribed for situations in which those pills shouldn’t have (+ had)an effect on the patients’ particular complaint. But a third of the doctors told patients that the pills might help and certaintly won’t hurt. About 20% simply tell them that’s the medicine. So even the prescribing of placebos remains controversical(controversial), clearly some doctors are doing it. Decades ago, physicians prescribed placebos to distinguish who had a real problem and who was faking it. Today they recognize the reality of the mind-body connection, and that placebos can sometimes just be what the doctors ordered.

拼写问题很严重啊
controversial
hear -- heard -- heard
vitamin

internist --- 内科医生
ibuprofen --- 布洛芬(抗炎、镇痛药)
what ails you

加入进来吧,开头有点郁闷;
写完一篇将近一个小时;
现在好多了
除了听60-second psych 语速觉得快,连读多,有些发音轻,以外都觉得还行;一般一遍可以掌握大意;两到三遍就能听全了

No one ever sits in silence these days, but if we did, many of us would experience turnidos(tinnitus). That is phantom noise. It’s normally high ringing like this(beep….), but it can  sound like crickets, or buzzing, or music. Now a Brazilian study has found that people won’t hear these noises as much if they simply aren’t listening. Volunteers with nomal hearing were put in sound-proof(soundproofed) rooms. When they focused on listening, almost 70% heard phantom noises. But when they focused on seeing, only 45% heard noises. And when solving a puzzle, only 20% heard noises. Some people have constant debilitating turnidos. For them, this study suggests that their peace(therapies) to divert attention from hearing could help. For everyone else, well, the best way to avoid turnidos, might be just not to listen very hard. In fact, you should probably forget about this program altogether. Oh, and don’t think about pink elephants.

======
tinnitus --- 耳鸣
cricket --- 蟋蟀;板球
buzz --- 发出嗡嗡声;
soundproofed

pink elephants --- 幻觉;any visual hallucination arising from heavy drinking

How frequent are nightmares for todlers (toddler)and what causes them? Those are the questions researchers at the University of Montreal have (hoped)to answer. They asked parents of about 1000 children to estimate the occurrence of their child’s nightmares from aged(age) two and a half, three to (through age)six. The parents were also questioned about their child’s disposition. First, it turns out that nightmares aren’t so frequent. About a third of the parents reported no nightmares at all. And then there’s the second result: Kids who were called difficult as early as five months were more likely to suffer from nightmares as todlers, and the ones who were (-)at one year and a half for (were)more anxious, more likely to cry, and more difficult to calm down, were also more likely to have bad dreams. The study author says this means children may be, well, like little adults. It’s already well established that adults tend to express real life stress and emotional problems as nightmares. The researchers suggest that focusing on kids’ day-time issues and on parenting techniques may help banish night-time demons.

这篇有点难啊,一两遍还听不懂啊

If you’re invading meat-eating Argentinian ant and you run out of prey. There’s only one thing to if you want to keep on invading --- beome a vegetarian. And that’s just what the carnivorists (carnivorous)Argentinian ants that have invaded California did. They switched and began to eat vegetable matter. Nor (No), the two minimeters(millimeter ) long creatures (critter)did(+not) develop moral qualms about eating meat, and they aren't trying to save the planet. They just ran out of their first choice --- native ants. Researchers writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sicences say that these ants gobbled up the native ants which could ten times their size. The new comers then had no choice but to cobble load (carbo-load), switching over to such sweet trees (treats)as honey dewnector produced by eight feets. The ants which are believed to have arrived on ships carrying coffee and sugar from Argentina in the 1890s have caused problems for big creatures as well. The coastal horned lizzard which dined on domestic ants has declined in numbers by about a half recently, apparently because the lizzard doesn’t particularly care for the Argentinian food.

==========
vegetarian ---- 素食的;素食者;
carnivorous --- 肉食的
critter ---- 生物,家畜, 马,牛

Some genes that contribute to diseases can be traced back to what’s known as a founder mutation. It’s the first instance of that specific mutation which then gets carried by all subsequent generations. Mutations in one’s specific gene are known to give carriers a 69% greater risk of colon cancer by the age of 80. But it can be tough to figure it out who has it. Luckily, the Moreman church keeps great family records. Researchers at the University of Utah were able to figure out this mutation occured in only two extended families. One in Utah, and one in New York. So this is expected (they suspected)that someone(somewhere) in the history looked(lurked) a founder. They escolonased (used colonoscopy )the information, genetic analysis of family memebers, and geneological genealogical )data and Moreman archives to trace the mutations all the way back to one couple. When Mr and Mrs Geoge Frie came to America from England in about 1630, they had no idea that they were bringing along the colon cancer risk gene. Fortunately, the Frie’s hundreds of 21st century descendents can be monitored and treated at the first sign of the disease.

How fortunate it would be to predict your future, see things in other places, read minds. Yes, if we had ESP, think of all the thousands we’d save another tending (not attending)therapy. But what if ESP were scientifically once and for all debunked? Well, two Harvard psychologists say they published the most definitive evidence against ESP in this month journal of Cognitive Neuroscience. Their theory is that if ESP exists, subjects’ brains would respond differently to ESP related stimuli than to non-ESP related stimuli. They studied three kinds of ESP with subjects inside an emphamerila (FRMI)scanner. And those were telepothy(telepathy), clairvoyence, and precognition. Telepothy(Telepathic) stimulis were photos that were shown stimultaneously(simultaneously) to both subjects and their close partners, like an identical twin. Clairvoyence stimuli were presented on a computer screen in a separate room. And precognitive stimuli were shown to subjects at a later time. Here’s the thing: pictures percieved though ESP should spark a supressed brain pattern, since the brain reacts differently to previously stimuli scenced (seen)stumuli than it does to normal stimuli. At last, researchers found no difference in the brain pattern between ESP and non-ESP stimuli. Of course getting a no (null)result doesn’t confirm that ESP doesn’t exist somewhere, it just weakens the possibility.

I’m not throwing out my Ouija Board just yet.

attend therapy --- go to the clinic for treatment
once and for all ---- 彻底的。。。

If you feel urged(the urge) to lay your head down on the desk for an afternoon nap, here's something to tell your boss. A nineteen(ninety) minutes snooze will actually help you remember that new task you just learned. Researchers at the University of Hithoe(Haifa) published the resutls of their nap study in the journalNature Neuroscience. They tested two groups. Each was asked to learn to bring their thumb and finger togeather in a specific sequence. One took a nineteen minutes nap afterwards, the other didn't. The group that slept had learned the sequence better by nightfall. By morning, the two groups had even doubt(evened out). But the researchers say the nappers improved more rapidly the next day. Then the scientists took another two groups. Both learned two different thumb-to-finger sequences over a few hours. One group took a nap between the two tasks.  At night time, there was no difference between the two groups. But by morning, the nappers have learned the first task better. Scientists say this shows that siasters help ingrave (engrave)new tasks into a long term memory. Turns out that if you snooze you win.

If I ask you to picture someone who recycles, you might come up with an image of an idealist(idealistic) young nature lover. Someone who has the time and energy to take a personal interest in environment. At the very least, you('d) probably picture more earth mother than socker(soccer) mom. But a new study from University of Gunana suggests you’d be wrong because scientists there found that housewives are more ecologically aware than undergrads in that they’re more willing to recycle. The researchers assessed the recycling skills of some 500 university students and 150 homemakers. And they found that housewives seperated glass from their garbage more often than the students even though students say they’re proing environment(pro-environment). So why are housewives better friends to the planet than students? Then the researchers say that maybe because it is easier for them. Students have to haul their bastock piles (vast stockpiles)of recyclables some distance to the proper recpticle(receptacle), whereas housewives presumably just deposit their bottles at the curb. The researchers suggest that students could be encouraged to recycle by programs that emphasize how recycling is an ethical imperative for those who care about earth, or maybe the schools could just put a few extra recyling bins in the halls.

======
soccer mom
Earth mother
pro-environment (前缀 pro-表示“in favor of something”, 放在形容词前面)
receptacle (拼写)
stockpiles --- 囤储物资

You'd think you (we)enjoy something based on its intrinsic qualities. Food should taste good because its molecues (molecules)take (tickle)our tugs(tongues). But it's much more complicated than that. For example, one study has showed (shown)that knowing the ingredients and name brand of a beer can increase the drinkers' pleasure. What's going on in our brains that allows that to happen? Researchers at the California Institute of Technology recently investigated our neural response to this non-intrinsic stimuli. 20 subjects tasted what they thought were five different wines. They were given the price for each. But indeed(-) in reality, there were only three wines. Two were offered twice, once at a ( an alleged)low price, and once at a much higher price. And the subjects consistently said they enjoyed what they thought were expensive wines more. A functional FRMI (RMI)showed that there was no change in activity in the taste center of the brain when the subjects drank what they thought were costly (costlier)wines. But the FRMI also revealed increased activity in the brain's pleasure centers. So somehow our brains combined both the actual taste and what we expect about the taste. In this case, that'd a little be better because it's pricier in the viva veratas(vivo veritas).

========
molecule (拼写问题)
tickle
tongue (注意拼写)
shown (拼写,不是showed)
costly --- costlier --- cosliest --- costliness ;昂贵的;
pricy --- pricier --- priciest 昂贵的;
vivo veritas --- (没查到,不过查到vino veritas “酒后吐真言”)

Any successful bussiness person can tell you about the importance of face time, actually sitting down with clients, coworkers, and maybe even competitors. But there may be even more (+ to)this whole face-to-face bussiness than misty (meets the)eye, or exactly it's as much as misty (meets the)eye. Becuause a new study from Tofst (Tuffts)University suggests the success of a corporation rests squarely on the face of its CEO. The researchers took photos of 50 CEOs from the highest and lowest Rank (ranked)Fortune 1000 companies. They showed the pictures to a group of undergrads. They asked the students to rate each face on whether its owner looked confident(competent), dominant, likeable, mature or trustworthy. What they found is the students' impressions teracted (tracked)with companies' profits. The more powerful and leader-like the CEO appeared, the more successful the corporation, even though the CEOs were all pretty much middle-aged white guys in ties. The study which will appear in the Feburary issue of Psychological Science does not say whether profitable companies tend to promote people who look like leaders, or whether successful CEOs grow to look the part. Either way, looks like a company's financial about faith(face) can actually be about face.

Vocabulary
more than meets the eye 事情并不象初看到的那样简单
meets the eye 呈现在眼前(的东西)
highest ranked company
about-face --- n. vi.向后转, 大改变, 倒转, 彻底改变
1 : a 180° turn to the right from the position of attention 2 : a reversal of direction 3 : a reversal of attitude, behavior, or point of view
— about–face intransitive verb
Finacial about-face --- 财政转变
