查看习题详情和答案>>When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.
. So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.
Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and the study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.
Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendlier and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we're very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.
Just as crying can be healthy, not crying — holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering — can be bad for physical health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural — and healthy— emotional response.
Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?
A. Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.
B. Because she did not love her grandmother.
C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.
D. The author doesn’t give the explanation.

A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.
B. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.
C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.
D. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.
What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Why We Cry B. How to Keep Healthy

查看习题详情和答案>>China news, Beijing, Feb. 9 – Housing price in China has always aroused heated discussions among property developers and ordinary Chinese. To many property developers and local government officials, housing price in China is still low compared with many developed countries. However, the average housing price in the United States is only 8,000 yuan per square meter, while in China, it is even higher than in the United States. This shows that there are some bubbles(泡沫) in Chinese real estate (房地产) market, the International Finance News reported.
Although the average price of residential houses in the United States, after converted to Renminbi, is about 8,000 yuan per square meter, the houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses. If US property developers sell their houses according to the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square meter. In most big Chinese cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the US.
The high housing sales price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some bubbles. Moreover, Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities. Furthermore, it should be noted that American people’s average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people. How can the Chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in US?
At the beginning of 2007, Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public. Now in order to reduce the high housing prices, the government can regulate (控制) the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans to property developers. At the same time, the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels, such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units. By applying these multiple means, it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A．Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities.
B．There are more people who need houses in China than those in the United States.
C．The houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses.
D．American people’s average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people.
What is the main idea of this passage?
A．The Chinese government should do something to control the housing price.
B．The Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public.
C．The average housing price in China is even higher than in the United States. D．There are some bubbles in Chinese real estate market.
How many measures are mentioned in the last paragraph in order to reduce the high housing prices?
A．Four B．Two C．Five D． Three
It can be inferred from the passage that ______
A. Ordinary Chinese are looking forward to seeing that the high housing prices will be lowered.
B. There will be no bubbles in Chinese real estate after the government raises tax on property industry.
C. Housing price in China has lowered since 2007.
D. More ordinary Chinese will buy a house in America instead of in China.
