阅读下面的短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。(每空一词)
Stepping into a bookstore, you might notice shelves labelled(标注着) “self - help”. You may not know what these books are about. In fact, more people are turning to self - help books for advice these days. You can't imagine(想象) that sales of these books in the UK reached about three million last year.
Self - help books are usually written by some famous writers, psychologists (心理学家) or successful businessmen. They teach you what to do when you have problems in your life—for example, how to get along with your classmates or coworkers, how to manage your time well or how to find happiness.
Paul Sweetman, the owner of City Books in the UK, said the social environment might be one reason why more people are reading self - help books. Recently, the social environment has become more and more stressful(有压力的). “Some people come into the bookstore because they're really tired of things. They're looking for something relaxing to calm themselves,” Paul said. Besides, younger readers—such as people born after 2000—seem to understand their own problems better, according to British psychologist Caroline Beaton. This means they're more willing to improve themselves by reading self - help books.
Self - help books were something people laughed at in the past. Many people didn't take chicken soup stories or “success theory” books seriously. But now they're becoming increasingly attractive to people.
From my point of view, whatever the reason for the growing interest in self - help books is, it's good to know that help is at hand if we need it. But do these books truly help us? Read one and find out.
