人体生理心理音频 第五篇(Moods)讲义P201

Did you know you can catch a mood? The bad mood isn’t spread by various (virus) like the F (flu is), but it can be contagious 传染性的. Moods sort of drift from person to person unconsciously 无意识的. Slight unintentional 非故意的 signals carry the mood.

You’ve probably experienced it yourself. You are around someone who’s feeling down and showing it, S (slumped 下垂的) shoulders, downcast month, S (subdued减弱的) voice, all that sort of thing. Pretty soon you begin to feel depressed, too. Of course, good moods are also catching, not just bad ones.

Moods spread in steps. One person’s facial expressional (expression or) whatever is observed by another who have been (then) unconsciously begins to M (mimic 模仿). The process is automatic, a S (split) second 一霎那 M (mimicry 模仿). The person isn’t even aware of the copying. A full B (full-blown 充分发展的) case of mood transfer develops as this copying continues.

Not everyone picks up moods to the same degree. Those who are most cerceptible (susceptible 易动感情的) often have strong physiological responses to what’s going on around them. You know, people who break out in the (a) nervous sweat easily and whose S (stomachs) CH (churn 翻腾).

People don’t send moods equally well either. The best moods senders are expressive people, because mood contagine (contagion 传染) can’t happen without signals. If they aren’t there, that is, the person gives no indication of the mood there (they’re) in, nobody will pick up the mood.

人体生理心理音频 第六篇(sleep)讲义P202

Did you ever wonder why it is that most people are programmed to sleep at night instead of during the day? Is (If) there’s something about the cycle of light and dark that’s telling us when to sleep, then shouldn’t the sleep cycle of a blind person be different? As it turns out, many blind people, people with no visual 视力的perception of light at all, do have same sleep cycle as sighted people.

So, now you are wondering, how can this happen? The answer is hormones 荷尔蒙 --- one hormone in particular. is called MT (melatonin). Inside (In sighted) of people, the level of MT (melatonin) goes up at night or when it’s dark and goes down in the day or when it’s light. It’s believed that it’s the presents (presence 存在) of this hormone in the blood that gives us the urge to sleep. If an increased (increase in) MT (melatonin) level programs sighted people to sleep at night, then what about blind people?

A researcher named Doctor Charles Czeisler, tells about an interesting experiment. He tried shining a bright light into the eyes of some blind people. When he did this, he noticed that the level of the MT (melatonin) in the blood of these subjects went down, just as it would do for sighted people. Somehow, the eyes of these subjects, even though they were damaged and had no visual perception of light, could tell their brain when there was more or less light. Now, this doesn’t work for all blind people. In fact, most of Czeisler’s subjects had no hormone over (hormonal 荷尔蒙的) response to light at all. Further research may be able to explain the sensotivity (sensitivity 感光度)
to light in turns (terms) of the type of blindness of the subject.

人体生理心理音频 第七篇(placebos)讲义P202

So, you see, basical (physical) illness can have psychological courses (causes). Now, we just have time to introduce another interesting example of interaction between the mind and the body --- placebos. Placebos, maybe you’ve heard them called sugar pills, are harmly (harmless) substances, not away (always) sugar, that are used routinely in (on) groups of six (sick) people in experiments. These experiments test the effectiveness of new drags. One group is given the new drag; the other group is given the (a) placebo, and the results for (are) measured.

As you might guess, some of the people who receive
the new drag get better; surprisingly, however, some of the placebo group also get better. Why? Well, it’s an interesting question, one which doctors can’t quite answer. Some of the group may have got (gotten) better on their own, without any treatment at all. But research has shown that the very active (act of) taking a mediation that you think would make you better often dose make you feel better. Have you ever taken an Aspelin (aspirin) and felt better in five minutes? Aspirin doesn’t work that faster, does it? Basically, if you believe you’ll get better, sometimes you do.


The history how doctors and healers have used the mind-body connection to cure people is long and interesting. But I see that is (it’s) time to close, so I’ll have to cover this in the next class. You’ll have to hold you questions of this topic till then. Before you go, I have some handouts for you, concerning the mid-term exams next week.

生词及在本文的意思:
placebo 安慰剂;宽心丸(假的特征)
aspirin 阿司匹林(药片)
哇,LZ真拿刀的啊?佩服佩服
