I was tired and hungry after a long day of work.

When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son 36 up at me and said,“I love you.”I didn't know what to say. For several   37 all I could do was to  38 there and looked down at him.My first thought was that he must need   39 with his homework or he was trying to  40 me for some news.

Finally I asked,“What was that all about?”

“Nothing,”he said.“My teacher said we should   41 our parents that we love them and see what they say.It is  42 .”

The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment”and how the other parents had  43

“Most of the fathers had the   44 reacting（反应）as you did ,”the teacher said.“When I first  45we try this , I asked the children what they thought their parents would say . Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.“The 46 is,”the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of  47.It is something all people 48 .What I'm trying to tell the children is that it's too  49 we don't all express those feelings.A boy should be  50 to tell his dad he loves him.”

The teacher, a middle-aged man , understands how  51 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.

When my son came to me that evening ,I held on to(抱着)him for  52 second.And just before he  53 away, I said in my deepest, most manly(男子气慨)voice,“Hey, I love you ,too.”

I don't know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good(感觉很好)，Maybe next time one of my children said“I love you”，it wouldn't take me a whole  54 to think of the right 55 .

We are all busy talking about and using the Internet，but how many of us know the history of the Internet?

Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s.At that time，computers were large and expensive .Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down,，then the   whole net-work stopped.. So a new network system had to be set up. It      should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the net-work was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.

At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early   1970s,universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However,   computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By  the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use . Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” the Internet more convenient.

Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use  the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among      students.

The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’s life.

Researchers Look Behind the Tears to Study Crying

Many people found themselves unusually moved by the historic presidential inauguration(就职演说)last week in Washington Watching the huge crowds，we saw laughter，cheers，hugs-but also many tears

It made us wonder,why dopeople cry?Surely tears must be good for us—away to calm the mind and cleanse the body．Yet studies show that crying sometimes makes people feel worse．

Three researchers in Florida and the Netherlands recently looked more deeply into the subject． They examined detailed descriptions ofcrying experiences．Psychologist Jonathan Rottenberg at the University of South Florida says they wanted to study crying as it happens in everyday life，not in a laboratory．

The team analyzed information from the Intemational Study on Adult Crying．As part of that study，three thousand people in different countries，mostly college students，wrote about recent crying experiences．They noted causes，surroundings and any people involved in the event．They also reported how they felt after they cried．

Professor Roaenberg says the research showed that all crying experiences are not created equal. Crying does not always make a person feel better，he says．About ten percent of people reported feeling worse after they cried．

But a third felt better after crying．And a majority reported the experience as helpful．

The research showed that people who cry alone may not do as well as those with others around． People who reached out for emotional support at the time-and received it-reported better results from the crying experience．

But Professor Rottenberg says those who felt shame or embarrassment while crying were less likely to report that crying had been helpful．

Research has shown that women cry more of ten and more intensely than men．But it may not be to better effect，says the psychologist．The new findings，he says，did not show that a person’s sex was an advantage of beneficial crying．In other words，just because women cry more does not mean they are more likely to have a“good”cry．

The paper entitled”Is Crying Beneficial?”appeared in December in Current Directions in Psychological Scieflce And there is more to learn．Jonathan Rottenberg says the science ofcrying is still in its infancy．

57·Why did the author mention the presidential inauguration in Washington in the first paragraph?

A．Because he was impressed by the laughter,cheers，hugs and tears．

B．Because he wanted to introduce the topic about crying．

C．Because he wanted to show people’s dissatisfaction with the result．

D．Because it was the historic moment that many people cried

58．How did the researchers carry out the research?

A．They studied crying experiences not only in everyday life but also in labs．

B．They collected the crying experiences of the students at the colleges．

C They studied the crying experiences of grown-ups from various countries．

D．They noted their own crying experiencesand compared with others．

59．We can learn from the passage that_______．

A．it may be better to cry alone than with others around

B．some support from others may make crying helpful

C．women who cry more of ten may have better effects than men

D．the effects will be better if you feel shy while crying

60．The underlined phrase in the last paragraph probably means_______．

A．in the early stage   B．in a secret state   C．in the first place    D in good condition
