24、ie, or thinking about the friend who moved away. Next thing you know, you feel pressure in your throat, your eyes are watering, and you have tears running down your cheeks. Why do people cry when they are emotional? What are tears? Scientists are working hard to find the answers to these questions.
25、Ad Vingerhoets is a professor of psychology at Tilburg University,in the Netherlands. He is one of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying.

26、d the rest of the world. Next are reflex（反射作用的）tears. They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them. Finally, there are emotional tears.

Vingerhoets says this ability to target someone could have come in handy in prehistoric times, when humans were living among dangerous animals. Loud crying could attract predators（捕食者）. Tears were
30、 a safer way to get attention. In this case, it is better to use a silent signal to ask for help, he says. Vingerhoets and Bylsma do frequent studies to better understand why humans cry. According to Byhma, there is still much more to discover. Its surprising, she says, how much we still dont know.”
