Interview
How do you feel if you could rewind the clock some years ago? Well, yesterday I interviewed Mr.干煎黄花鱼 Branagh, a psychologist in Harvard and learned his provocative experiment in which people feel as if their body clock has turned back to their young age becau of the special surroundings Branagh offered.
I recorded all the 很压抑details about the interview. (J=Journalist, B= Branagh)
J: Mr. Branagh, how do you do this experiment?
B: Well, the experiment took place in an isolated old England hotel, which had been retrofitted to like what it was like 20 years ago. Then, a group of men----in their 70s----were told not to reminisce 灯英语怎么读about the past, but to actually act as if they had traveled back to 20 years before. Also, we have a control group for 含羞草简介comparison.
J: That’s interesting! What’s the purpo of this experiment?
B: Uh, I want to e if changing the men’s mindt about their own age could lead to actual changes in health and fitness.
不久前英语J: So, what did you find in the experiment?
B: Oh, the findings were stunning. Two weeks later, the men in the experimental group had more joint flexibility, incread dexterity and less arthritis in their legs comparing to the control group. What’s more, their mental nsibility had rin measurably, and they had improved posture. I n other words, the aging process had been reverd in some degree. When I showed the outsiders the men’s pictures, they judged them to be obviously younger than the controls. The result is so exciting.
J: Wow, this reminds me of what I saw in a book about psychology. It says that we are all victims of our own stereotypes about aging and health. We mindlessly accept 太平米饼negative cues about dia and old age, and the cues shape our lf-concepts and our behavior. Do you think so?
B: Yes, although we are sure to encounter illness, bad moods or a stiff back, we can try to embrace uncertainty and understand that the way we feel today may or may not connect to the way we will feel tomorrow.
J: I think what you said just now would inspire a lot of people, Thank you so much.
B: You are welcome.
