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 crying seems to work weft. One 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(身体的) health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high good 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(反应).

It’s easy to observe an athlete like Tiger Woods and feel like he’s from another planet. He has won 14 major tournament(锦标赛) titles and about $122 million in prize money and ads. He also has a happy family. It seems that he is too perfect to be one of us. But Woods has more in common with you than you might think.
Woods’ parents — particularly his father — set high expectations for him when he was a child. Before Earl Woods’ death in 2006, he told Golf magazine, “My purpose in raising Tiger was not to raise a golfer. I wanted to raise a good person.”
By age two, Woods was already swinging(挥舞) a golf club. But once he entered school, Woods’ father was careful to send the message that school work came first. Woods wasn’t allowed to practice until his homework was done.
When Woods finally reached the professional tour, his father continued to expect a lot of him. “Tiger will do more than any other man in history to change the course of human. The world is just getting a taste of his power,” he said in 1996. Clearly, Earl Woods had great expectations of his son.
In this way, Tiger Woods is actually like a lot of us. Many of us feel a similar pressure to make our parents proud. When this happens, it’s easy to let that pressure overwhelm(压倒) us.
In a perfect world, we would all grow up to be Tiger Woods-like successes in our own fields. But that isn’t possible. There are many things that we can’t control in this life, despite our best efforts.
There is, however, one thing that we can do: we can try to be a “good person”, as Earl Woods asked his son to do.
46. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. The number of tournament titles Tiger Woods has won.

47. According to the passage, which of the following statements about Tiger Woods is TRUE?
A. Tiger Woods is too perfect to be one of us.
B. Tiger Woods wasn’t allowed to play golf after class.
C. Tiger Woods did very well in golf as a child.
D. Tiger Woods didn’t like playing golf when he was a child.
48. We can learn from the passage that Tiger Woods is under pressure to ____ just like many of us.
A. get high marks in the exam B. make his parents proud
C. change the course of human D. try to be a good person
49. We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. Tiger Woods has a happy family
B. Tiger Woods’ mother didn’t set high expectations for him
C. Tiger Woods has changed the course of human
D. Tiger Woods’ father plays an important role on his road to success
50. The author may agree all the following statements EXCEPT that ______.

C. Tiger Woods has more in common with us than we might think
D. we can try to be a “good person”
查看习题详情和答案>>It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool.I made quite a habit of
this with boys of my own size or less.
One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool.He was no bigger than I was, so I
thought him a fair game.Coming secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would

making its way by fierce strokes (猛力地划) to the shore.I fled, but in vain.He overtook me, seized me
violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool.I soon climbed out on the other side, and found
myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys."Do you know what you have done?" they said, "It's
Amery; he is in Grade Six.He is champion at gym; he has got his football honor."
I was frightened and felt ashamed.How could I tell his position when he was wrapped in a bath towel
and so small.He didn't seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word, "My father, who is a great man, is also small." At this he laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I
had better be careful in the future, signified the incident was closed.

passed by and we heard one of them say, "Never seen that dog around here before."
We looked down the hill and saw an old black dog stumbling(蹒跚) painfully up the hill. We
bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar. There was a
phone number on the collar, but no one answered.
The dog was painfully thin. It didn't have many teeth left and, well, it just seemed done.
Julie ran home to get some of our dog's food while I tried to encourage the dog to come along with
me. Julie got home and back again when I was only half way there. So, we sat down on the sidewalk
while our new friend made short work of the food.
Eventually we got her home. We gave her a blanket, more food, kept her warm and wondered
what to do next.
After trying for many times we got a response from the number. A lady came around with a bunch
of flowers for us. She explained that Tara had been her father's dog. She was very old and should
probably be put to sleep, but the lady just couldn't bring herself to do it. So, Tara was safely returned
home.
Here is the truth of the story:
Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me
to come back, but I wasn't hearing anything that made that sound likely.
I was about to turn and go when an old, worn out dog walked between us and collapsed. Suddenly
we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There was a creature in need
right before us and we had to work together to help it.
We did help it. And here am I writing the story in my own home, in my own family.
