When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears(眼泪). But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into ______61_____(哭).
So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the __62(相同) part of the brain(大脑). Just as laughing has many health __63___(优点), scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.
Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure(压力) is _64_(重要的) to our emotional(情感的) health, and crying _65(似乎) to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better a _66_crying.
Besides, tears attract help from __67__(其他的) people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to ___68__(提供)support and comfort. Tears also make us understand our emotions better; sometimes we don’t even know we’re very sad u__69_ we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can ___70___(处理)with them.
Just as crying can be healthy, not crying — holding back tears of anger, stress 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.

The Australians had a great idea to stop people from drinking and driving. The idea was that if a driver wanted to start the car, she or he would have to blow into a bag first. If there was too much alcohol(酒精) in their breath, the car wouldn’t start. It sounded like a great idea to me, but people said that they might need to drive the car in an emergency even if they had drunk too much alcohol. Another idea I liked was an invention by a scientist who thought his children watched too much TV. He linked the TV to an exercise bike so that the electricity to power the TV was generated(产出) by the bike. If the children wanted to watch a lot of TV, they had to pedal(踩踏板) very hard. I found another invention on the Internet which was intended (倾向于) to encourage good habits. Believe it or not, this invention was an ashtray(烟灰缸) which spoke to you when you lit a cigarette! The “voice” of the ashtray was activated (启动) by the heat from the cigarette and reminded you how dangerous it is to smoke.
One of the strangest inventions I have come across is a bicycle which can cross rivers! The idea was that when you came to a river, you could inflate a huge plastic ball all around the bike. You would then get into the ball which would float on the river while you pedaled the bike inside the ball! Why not use a bridge instead? A friend of mine at school once bought a strange pair of football shoes. On the bottom of the shoes there was a rotating pad of studs (转动钉垫). The idea was that you would change direction more quickly if the studs rotated with you. The problem was that every time you stopped you changed direction whether you wanted to or not! I think he wore those shoes twice! One thing I would like is a baseball cap with a built-in radio so you can listen to sport all day with your hands free. While we are on the subject of sport, the Americans invented a kind of robot for sports fans. If you were watching your team on TV on your own, you could press a button and the robot would do “high fives” with you! Fantastic! I wonder if you have any good ideas for inventions like these.
