【题目】Say (suppose) you are a 17th century construction worker who’s worked long and hard to build a splendid tower for the dead wife of your emperor.

Now say that the emperor orders your fingertips cut off so you can never build another one. Yes, that is the Taj Mahal, one of the most famous buildings in the world. And the tale behind the construction is just as impressive as the building itself.

First, there’s the emperor of northern India, Shah Jehan, also called the King of the World. In 1612, Shah Jehan married Mumtaz Mahal. Madly in love, they had 14 children over the next 20 years. But then sadness came. As Mumtaz was about to give birth to child number 14, she said she had heard her unborn baby cry out. It was a sign of death. And as Mumtaz lay dying, she asked Jehan to build a lasting memorial (纪念物) to celebrate their love.

When the heartbroken Jehan appeared eight days after his wife’s death, his people were shocked to see that his coal-black hair had turned snow-white.

Putting away his sadness, Jehan ordered his wife’s dying wish carried out. More than 20,000 workers labored nearly 22 years to complete the construction. In 1653, Jehan placed Mumtaz’s remains (遗体) in the center under the building.

And then, son number five, Aurangzeb, murdered his brothers and took over the power from his aging father. Jehan lived the rest of his days － eight years, to be exact － imprisoned not far from the Taj Mahal. Jehan was only allowed to climb onto the top of his prison to see the timeless treasure from a distance. But never again would he be allowed to visit it－until he was buried next to his wife.

Today 25,000 people visit the Taj Mahal each day. Though the reason for building the tower was a strange, sad story, those who see its breath-taking beauty are reminded of the happiness that inspired (激发……的灵感) its construction.

【题目】C

When people reunite with their loved ones, it’s usually a wildly happy moment. But what is their most common response to seeing them again? It may seem strange, but most of the time they break down in tears.

Now a group of psychologists from Yale University in the US say they have found the reason why, and that crying tears of joy may well be the body’s way of restoring emotional balance.

“They seem to take place when people are unable to tolerate strong positive emotions, and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions,” Oriana Aragon, the lead researcher, told The Telegraph.

Aragon and her fellow psychologists looked at hundreds of participants’ emotional responses to different things, including happy reunions（重逢）and cute babies.

Many participants said they would react in a negative or aggressive way to the positive things — to cry at happy moments and want to pinch（捏）a cute baby’s face or even tell them“I want to eat you up!”

But then researchers found that these people were able to calm down from strong emotions more quickly.

“We want a happy, middle spot. Extreme is not good. It’s hard on our bodies,” Aragon told The Washington Post.

There are many other examples of times when people respond to a positive experience with a negative emotional reaction.

At an exciting concert, fans scream in horror at their idols. People who have just had a big lottery win are often in floods of tears.

“These findings advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions, which is importantly related to mental and physical health, the quality of relationship with others, and even how well people work together,” said Aragon.

The psychologists then went further and claimed that the reverse（颠倒）was also true. Strong negative feelings may also bring out positive expressions.

For example, people often laugh when they are nervous or they are in a difficult or frightening situation.

Also, have you ever seen a character smiling at a time of extreme sadness in a movie? Their acting is not over the top, as reacting with this type of expression is just human nature, said researchers.

【1】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. A group of psychologists. B. People’s loved ones.

C. Strong positive emotions. D. Crying tears of joy.

【2】Which of the following words best describes the language style of the passage?

A. Academic and formal. B. Cheerful and friendly.

C. Humorous and concerned. D. Serious and boring.

【3】We can conclude from the first two paragraphs that .

A. crying in the happy moment can also do good

B. a character’s smile in a movie makes no sense

C. people reveal their emotions by either crying or laughing

D. negative emotional reaction is always harmful

【4】What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To argue that crying is no worse than laughing.

B. To inform readers about the effect of crying and laughing.

C. To entertain readers by relating some happy occasions.

D. To instruct readers how to cry and laugh.
