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 crying does so, too.　　

Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and crying seems to be helpful. 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 more 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)).　　

59.   Why didn’t the author cry when her grandmother died?　　

A. Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.　　

B. Because she did not love her grandmother.　　

C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.　　

D. The author doesn’t give the explanation.

B. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.　　

C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.　　

D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.　　

62.   What might be the most suitable title for the text?

“Regardless of social class, race, age, men say they hate to shop,” says Zukin, City University of New York sociology professor. “Yet when you ask them deeper questions, it turns out that they like to shop. Men generally like to shop for books, music and hardware. But if you ask them about the shopping they do for books or music, they’ll say, ‘Well, that’s not shopping. That’s research.’”

In other words, what men and women call “buying things” and how they approach that task are different.

Women will wander through several 1,000-square-meter stores in search of the perfect party dress. Men will wander through 100 Internet sites in search of the perfect digital camcorder(攝錄像一體機(jī)).

Women see shopping as a social event. Men see it as a special task or a game to be won.

“Men are frequently shopping to win,” says Ann, a marketing professor at Loyola University of Chicago. “They want to get the best deal. They want to get the best one, the latest one and if they do that it makes them happy.”

When women shop, “They’re doing it in a way that they want everybody to be very happy,” says Ann. “They’re kind of shopping for love.”

“Teenage girls learn to shop from their moms and older sisters, but they also learn to shop by examining articles in magazines like Seventeen,” City University Zukin says.

“And although men’s magazines such as GQ and Esquire have long had shopping articles, it’s TV that has the eye of young male shoppers,” says Ann and Zukin.

“Television shows are used by young men in the same way Seventeen magazine or Lucky are used by girls,” says Zukin, “to help make clothing and toiletry(化妝品) choices.”

“Of course, there are men who love to shop and are proud of it,” Loyola’s Ann says.

And that is important no matter whether you buy a car or a frying pan. All men love to buy but don’t want to get cheated.

Ann adds, “There actually are men who are interested, for example, in cooking or shopping or chinaware or things around the home --- they become kind of girl magnets. Women like it.”

78. From the first paragraph we can find that ______.

A. men are all dishonest                             B. men are all book lovers

C. men hate to shop actually                       D. men like to shop in fact

79. Compared to women men usually treat shopping ______.

A. honestly            B. seriously                  C. frequently         D. foolishly

80. The underlined word “magnets” in the last paragraph means ______.

A. magazines that attract young women              B. persons that have a powerful attraction

C. tools that can help housewives much              D. vegetables that make women beautiful

34. The villagers, ______ damaged by the flood, were given help by the International Red Cross.

A. all whose houses       B. all their houses   C. all of whose houses   D . their all houses

14. --- It’s thirty years since we last met.

--- But I still remember the story, believe it or not, ______ we got lost on a rainy night.

A.which              B. what         C. that                D. When

Aim your satire at targets that can be “summarized” in a few easily recognized images, You might choose a single person, such as a rock star, or a group or institution—such as business people, a nation, Congress, or basketball players, Labels or dialogue can help identify characters, but remember that the less “work” your audience has to do, the more effective your cartoon will be .
