This means having a safety driver1 on board ready to take over if there is a problem, which is hardly labor-saving.For these larger contraptions（装置）regulators want to see safety systems thoroughly proved.

Researchers have now quantified the biological and emotional benefits of a well-told tale.“We know that narrative has the power to transport us to another world, says Guilherme Brockington from Brazifs Federal University. Earlier research suggested that stories help

There are few studies on biological and psychological effects of storytelling in a more commonplace hospital setting.”So investi

Before and after these sessions, the researchers took spit samples from each child, then asked them to report their pain levels and conducted a free-association word quiz.Children in both groups benefited measurably from the interactions; they showed lower levels o

Yet kids in the storytelling group benefited significantly more: their cortisol levels were a quarter of those in the riddle group, and their oxytocin levels were nearly twice as hig

Those who heard stories also reported pain levels dropping almost twice as much as those in the riddle group, and they used more positive words to describe their hospital stay.The study demonstrates that playing games or simply interacting with someone can relax kids and improve their outlook but
43、 that hearing stories has an especially dramatic effect. The researchers really tried to control the social interaction component of the storyteller, which I think was the key,“ says Raymond Mar, a psychologist at York University who was not involved in the new research.Next, the investigators plan
44、to study how long these effects last, along with storytelling potential benefits to kids with particular illnesses such as cancer. For now Brockington says the results indicate storytelling is a low-cost and extremely efficient way to help improve health outcomes in a variety of settings. Mar agrees
