【推荐1】Can we forget bad memories? Someone might tell you that time is the only “cure”. But this might be not true.

Researchers at Canada’s McGill University have tested a pill that can help you erase bad memories. They tested it on 60 people and found it to be successful.

All 60 people had experienced painful romantic relationships and wanted to forget them. In the study, they were asked to write about these bad memories. Then, they took a pill that is usually used to treat high blood pressure. They then recalled their bad memories by reading what they wrote earlier. In the end, they talked about their feelings, saying that they were finally able to forget their bad experiences.

Dr Alain Brunet, who led the study, believes that the pill can ease the pain that bad memories bring. People can take it after bad things happen to them.

How did the pill do this? In fact, your memories change all the time. They’re like text files (文件) on your computer. Every time you recall and “open” the files, you might happen to make some changes and “save” them. Researchers believe that the pill can stop proteins (蛋白质) in the brain from “re-saving” these memories. This means some details of the memory are lost.

However, there are some ethical (伦理的) worries about this treatment. Some people might use it to forget things that they should be learning from, such as when they committed (犯) a crime. People are discussing which kinds of memories should be forgotten with this pill.

【推荐3】Disney movies are very popular around the world. You may still remember the characters and stories of Disney movies after many years and think you know Disney movies really well. But there's one thing about Disney movies you may never know.

From Disney's earliest cartoon film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (矮人), to more recent (最近的) ones like Frozen, many Disney movies lack moms. In Disney movies, Mom is dead like Bambi's mom or simply never appears like The Little Mermaid .Disney movies fans may think about the reason for this strange fact.

Many people think that the lack of mothers in Disney movies has something to do with the death (死亡) of Walt Disney's mother in the early 1940s. Many people think that Walt put sadness over his mother's death into his films. However, many of his movies before his mom's death also lacked moms. Hahn said lacking mothers is a way to bring out the themes (主题) like growing up in the short movie time. Many movies lasted (持续) long after Walt's death, like Beauty and the Beast. In these films, main characters lose or leave their parents and they have to grow up and become strong.

We never know if Walt's mother's death made a difference to the mother's in Disney films, but it seems like it's a common (常见的) fact.

【推荐1】As the weather gets warmer, there are few things that are better to do than travel. But traveling might not be that fun for those who have motion sickness (晕动症).

Motion sickness is also called travel sickness. It is a common experience for many people. Depending on how you travel, it can be called carsickness or seasickness. People with motion sickness feel very uncomfortable while they are in motion. They feel sick and dizzy (眩晕的), like the room around them won’t stop spinning.

It is generally believed that motion sickness happens when your senses become mixed up with each other, Scientific American reported. We use different parts of our body to sense movement. Our eyes tell us if we are moving. The inner ears (内耳) has a special liquid (液体) that helps us sense our direction and balance. Our muscles (肌肉) react to movement. When you move around, these body parts work well together. ________ Your inner ear signals that you’re moving, but your eyes say you’re sitting still because you can’t see that you’re moving. This mismatch gives us motion sickness.

But some people are less sensitive (易受影响的) to motion sickness. This may be because they have certain genes (基因) that prevent mismatching senses.

There are many ways to deal with motion sickness, but scientists believe that the key is to simply try and adapt to it. For example, some astronauts do special exercises that give them mild (轻微的) motion sickness. After a week or two, the astronauts become used to it and no more feel uncomfortable, Sam Puma, a NASA fight doctor, told the BBC.

【推荐2】In Britain, some people say they will do anything if a famous person they love asks them to. One in three people in Britain have a new kind of disease (病) — They love a famous person too much.

Some people love famous stars like Britney Spears, David Beckham or even Tony Blair. It is not just the young, grown-ups have the same problem. One in four people are so interested in their heroes (英雄) that it affects (影响) their life.

There are two ways of worshipping (崇拜) famous people. One way is just to follow them or talk about them with friends for fun. The other is a more serious way. People have very strong feelings for them and think they are their friends. People who do so for fun are found to be happier. But those who have strong feelings for a famous person are perhaps to feel more lonely and worried.

“Worshipping famous people is not certainly a bad thing,” said Dr. John, an expert, “but like many things, overdoing (过分追求) it may not always be good for you.”
