17、 (过渡) from black­and­white films and TV to widespread Technicolor (彩色印片法)，an obvious explanation was that television was influencing dreams，but differences between the studies prevented the researchers from drawing any firm conclusions.Later studies asked subjects (实验对象) to complete dream

18、diaries immediately they woke up，but the earlier research used questionnaires completed in the middle of the day，so the subjects might have simply forgotten color elements in their dreams and assumed they were grey.To solve the problem，psychologist Eva Murzyn asked 60 subjects，half of whom were unde

19、r 25 and half over 55，to answer a questionnaire on the color of their dreams and their childhood exposure (暴露) to films and TV.The subjects then recorded different aspects of their dreams in a diary every morning.She found there was no significant difference between results drawn from the questionna

20、ires and the dream diaries.She then analyzed data to find out whether an early exposure to black­and­white TV or films could still have a lasting effect on her subjects' dreams,40 years later.Less than five per cent of the under­25s' dreams were black and white.But the over

21、73;55s who had access to black­and­white media in their younger days reported dreaming in black and white roughly a quarter of the time.Murzyn said，“There could be a critical period in our childhood when watching films has a big influence on the way dreams are formed.” People's attenti

31、Private Ryan.The decrease was an average of thirty­five percent.Studies have shown that stress can reduce the body's ability to fight disease.When the body is under stress，it produces hormones such as cortisol and adrenalin.Cortisol is related to fear；adrenalin prepares the body to react.Bu
