Watson won his most important game and became Southern Chess Master(南部象棋大师) in 1977.He was given the silver(银) cup.
“It isn’t rightly mine.”he said,when he was holding the cup, “It was won two years ago when I was on holiday in….”
“A family was staying at my hotel at that time.Mrs Prang,the mother,was told that I played chess;and she begged me to give her young son a game.” “He’s only ten.”She said,Ive been told that you play quite well.”
“Well,as you can guess.I wasn’t too happy. A player likes the opponent(对手) to play as well as he does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. We placed the board(棋盘) in the garden. The game began .I hoped it would be quick-----and so it was.”
“I soon knew that David Prang was no learner.After ten minutes his sister came outside and began to play tennis against in our game. He moved a piece(棋子) without care. I gave my attention to the board.”
“Call me when you are ready,Mr Watson,”he said.
“When I was ready?” I looked up. He had gone off to play with his sister,I studied the board-----and found I was driven into a corner. So it went on with David;a quick move,then tennis,back to the board,then back to his sister.My difficult condition became impossible to change. I was beaten,oh,so easily,by a ten-year-old chess player. He was the winner--in twenty-eight minutes.”

Fear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head, according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.
Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting(收缩) and pumping(向---送出) blood around their bodies, compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.
Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said: "Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart."
The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel said, "The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. So our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don't see - and guide whether we see fear."
To further understand this relationship, the scientists also used a brain scanner(扫描仪) to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person's feeling of fear. "We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear," Dr Garfinkel said.
"We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders, and also for those for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder."What is the finding of the study?
A.fear has something to do with one's health. |
B.fear is a result of one's relaxed heartbeat. |
C.One's heart affects how he feels fear. |
D.One’s fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear. |
When are people more likely to feel a sense of fear ?
A.When the heartbeat is relaxed. |
B.When their hearts are contracting. |
C.When people are tired. |
D.When people are happy. |
The study was carried out by analyzing (分析)_______.
A.the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditions |
B.volunteers' heartbeats when they saw terrible pictures |
C.volunteers' reactions to horrible pictures and data form their brain scans |
D.different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart-brain communication |
