can’t buy books, they can’t 2 them, and so they find
ways to get around it,” says Rick
Books are so 3 , he says, that many students aren’t buying them anymore. Instead, they rely on library reserve(儲(chǔ)備) copies and 4 books with classmates. Students often register for courses based on materials costs, he says, and 5 classes if 6 can’t find inexpensive texts.

Turgeon, who buys books 20 and online if he can’t find them in the
library. “Most of my school is paid for by loans and grants; I don’t have that
kind of cash sitting around. As a science major, I’d spend $600 to $

Sometimes the numbing（麻痹的） effect of TV can be helpful. Especially if you’re a kid being 1 with a needle at the hospital.
Researchers confirmed the distracting（分散注意）power of 2 ―something parents have long known when they found that children 3 cartoons suffered less pain from a hypodermic（皮下的） needle than 4 not watching TV. The cartoons were even more comforting than Mom.
While it’s 5 to have a powerful distraction for children getting painful medical procedures, it is also troubling “because we have demonstrated the excessive（過度的） 6 of television,” 7 chief author, Carlo Bellieni, a father of three.
The study involved 69 children, ages 7 to 12, who 8 separated into three groups and then asked to rate（評估） their pain on a numerical（數(shù)字的） scale 9 they were stuck with a needle used to take a blood sample. The children’s mothers 10 rated the kids’ pain.
Those watching TV cartoons reported half the 11 as those who were being soothed（make a pain less severe） by Mom. When 12 with children who just sat in a hospital room with 13 who didn’t try to soothe them, the TV watchers reported one-third the pain.
“The power of television is strong and it can be 14 for children if it is stronger than the force made by the mother to distract children,” Bellieni said. “ 15 believe that this power must be controlled and reduced.“
In general, Mom’s soothing touch may be overrated, another 16 said.
Other studies have found that the mothers and fathers’ attempts at comforting often backfire（適得其反） 17 it makes the children feel that “something must really be bad” if they need to be soothed, said Dr. Brenda McClain. She said the Bellieni’s effect may not be just television, 18 any kind of distraction, such as storytelling. “Distraction is a very powerful tool,” she said.
But it’s got to be passive distraction like television, not one requiring children to 19 anything because when they are asked to play, their 20 pain levels go up.
Bellieni, who has noticed the distracting effect of television on his own kids, theorizes（論述） that being absorbed in television releases（解脫） pain-reducing hormones in children.
