Toronto---A pleasant attitude can do wonders for patients’recovery, according to researchers who reviewed 16 studies that looked at patients’ attitudes toward health. The studies lasted 30 years and looked at patients’ attitudes after operation.

“In each case the better a patient’s expectations about how they would do after operation or some health procedure, the better they did,” said the author  Donald Cole,

of the Institute for Work and Health in Toronto.

“This mind-body connection that we have been toying with for the past couple of decades really does have hard science behind it. The result shows that the power of positive thinking is real,” Cole said.

New York-A Pable Picasso painting sold at Christie’s auction house in New York Wednesday for 55-million dollars. The price  set a new auction record for a Picasso,and is the fifth-highest price ever paid for any work of art at auction.

The painting---Woman with her arms crossed---was purchased by an telephone bidder(投標者).Painted in 1902 in Barcelona, the portrait is one of the best-known works from what is called Picasso’s blue period.

Christie’s says the painting by the famous Spanish artist is of a quality not seen on the market in more than 10 years.It sold for more than twice its pre-sale estimate.

Xinhua Agency---It had not come up until the very last minute in Premier Wen Jiabao’s two-hour press conference that concludes the annual sessions of the national legislature and political advisory body. But when it did it, it became an immediate catch phrase at home.

“I think fairness and justice are more glorious than the sun.” said Wen, responding to the laast question in yesterday’s press session. Which turned out to be the most-quoted lines in domestic media.
