Do you often post or look at your old photos on Facebook? A new study found that it can cheer you up to do so.
When you are looking back over these pictures and wall posts reminds us of happier times.
Almost 90 percent of users enter the site to look at their own wall posts, and three quarters do this when they are feeling low.
Dr Alice Good, from the University of Portsmouth's School of Computing, found this 'selfsoothing(自我慰藉)' use of Facebook is good to our mood.
The findings are opposite to the previous(以前的) research, which suggested looking at Facebook can be bad for your mental(心理的) health.
"Although this was only a small study, we will go on to study larger groups to see if the results remain consistent(一致的)," said Dr Good.
Dr Good did a survey of 144 Facebook users and found they often use the site to reminisce(追忆), using old photos and wall posts as a form of comfort.
The group had an average age of 34 and had slightly more men than women. Of these, 39 percent had a history of mental health problems.
1.What is the new study about?
2.When do most of the users go into the site to look at their old photos?
3.What does the previous research think of looking at old photos on Facebook?
4.What will the researchers go on to do to see if the results remain consistent?
5.What is the average age of the users studied by Dr Good?

In the teen years, young people change in many ways. The body changes, so do thoughts and feelings. These changes become an important part of teenage life.
Teens may often harm their health by developing bad lifestyles. Bad eating habits and less sleep may cause lots of problems. For example, they may often feel tired and have no interest in anything. Some begin to smoke, which is bad for their health.
Teens' feelings usually change, too. They may get angry more easily. Other changes include becoming depressed more easily and feeling nervous. Some teens may start to keep secrets to themselves and refuse to talk with their parents or teachers, and they always show their anger and dislike for another person or group.
During the teen years, people will usually have some problems that may cause other problems. One reason for this may be that teens are never taught about the changes that are taking place and they do not know how to deal with the problems they have.
