17.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 well.One study found that 85percent of women and 73percent 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 friendly 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 (反應(yīng)).

32.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段中句子I couldn't understand why I had no tears我不知道為什么沒有眼淚,后文中沒有解釋原因,所以答案選A.
33.C 推理判斷題.從文章最后一段,"But when you feel like crying,don't fight it.It's a natural---and healthy---emotional response (反應(yīng))",可以知道作者的觀點(diǎn)是:人的情感健康和身體健康是緊密聯(lián)系在一起的.故選C.
34.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題.B項的說法是片面的,根據(jù)文章"tears attract help from other people"的意思,crying并不一定是求人幫助的最好辦法;C項根據(jù)"Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health,and crying seems to work well",所表達(dá)的與文章中的事實不一致;D項與文章最后一段的意思不符;而A項所說的與文章中holding back tears of anger,pain or suffering can be bad for physical health是相符的.故選B.
35.A 主旨大意題.文章主要的說明了眼淚是人們情緒的表現(xiàn),另外,適當(dāng)?shù)腸rying有助于人的健康.故選A.
