But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laughs turned into crying. So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe cry
13、ing and laughing are controlled by the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so does crying. Whatever helps us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of wom
14、en 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
15、; sometimes we dont even know were 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 e
16、motions can 1ead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illness. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry.

20、B.Negative. C.Touched. D.Upset. B I dont know how it is that when I go to a post office I always seem to find myself in a line behind someone who has some long and complicated business to do.

21、nutes to complete a form that a child could do in one. People in other lines move quickly forward to take their turns and are served by cheerful clerks. Sometimes, feeling that I cannot bear waiting in my motionless line any longer, I decide to join another one. It may be longer, but at least it is
22、moving. This always turns out to be the worst thing I could have done. Not only have I now lost my place in the first line but the one I am in now slows to a stop. An angry argument suddenly develops between the clerk and the customer at the counter, or information is asked for which results in the
23、clerk having to ask a senior official or, if its a particularly difficult problem, disappear into a back room. Why it takes him so long, I dont know.

27、a position C Tom goes everywhere with Catherine Green, a 54-year-old secretary. He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her. Most people dont seem to mind Tom, says Catherine, who thinks he is wonderful. Hes my fourth child, she says. She may think of him and treat him that way as
28、her son. He moves around buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Tom is a dog.
