33、ider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards .Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice, in fact, according to psychologists .“Everyone wants to be liked,” says Gabriele Steinki, a German psychologist. “Saying no risks losing the affection of the

35、 for people used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process.Most people believe that “If I say no, Ill lose the affection of the person.

36、ways do what suits him , then the price of his affection is too high in the long term.”Steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual （相互的） solution. “One needs to present the situation from ones own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealt with to the advan

37、tage of both parties.

41、dy works. From there they figure out what treatments may work. This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century BC. Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient world this approach probably did not cure many patients.A second kind of medicine is called “natural cures,” or “medici

42、ne,” in which less educated people try to cure sickness with various herbs. These folk healers also use observation and logic, but they are not aware of it.
