The technique Mootee uses to treat people with OCD i

23、s called cognitive-behavioral therapy（认知行为疗法）.“It is based on the general idea that people have the ability to change the way they think and behave,”says Mootee.But when does a habit become a problem?“Its personal,”says Mootee.“Everyone has something unusual, but if you cant put up with it, then its

24、 a problem and you need to do something to change it.”Mootee says many people resist for treatment because they fear they are“crazy”.

28、ht? I hope not! So, why would an artist paint the sky this way? Perhaps I can answer that with another question. When youre happy, why do you sing instead of speaking? Or when youre in love, why do you speak of roses and honey? When we do these things, we, too are artists. Were using something that

29、goes beyond a mere scientific description in order to communicate our feelings more powerfully than straightforward words can. So consider for a moment that Van Gogh might not have been hallucinating (产生幻觉的) on the night he painted this. Maybe he felt something so powerful that he had to go beyond t

He recalls the sense that he is not alone, that there is a living, infinite world with rich colorful creatures and scenes all aroun

35、d.And so the sky flows across the canvas (画布) full of vitality (活力) and power. The stars dont just sparkle; they explode. Looking closer, we notice that the earth itself seems to respond to the movement in the sky, forming its own living waves in the mountain and rolling trees. In the sleepy village

36、, the windows of the houses glow (发光) with the same light that brightens the universe. The giant trees at the left seem to capture the joy by stretching upwards toward the sky.
