22、Until recently, scientists and authors were at absolute disagreement over the point of crying. In King Henry VI, Shakespeare wrote, “to weep is to make less the depth of grief”, and the American writer Lemony Snicket said “unless you have been very, very lucky, you know that a good, long session of weeping can often make you feel better, even if your circumstances have not changed one bit”.
Charles Darwin, on the other hand, thought that the production of tears was merely a useless side effect of the way that the muscles around the eye worked. For him, those muscles had to contract (收缩) from time to time so that they didn’t overflow with blood; the squeeze of tears was simply an unintended consequence of that evolved physiological process. He did acknowledge that crying could help young infants attract the attention of their parents, though.
We now know that crying – at least, the sort that adults do – is a complex physiological response to some kind of emotional stimulus (刺激). The most noticeable feature is of course the shedding of tears, but it also includes changes in facial expressions and breathing patterns.
From a scientific perspective, crying is different from the production of tears in response to a chemical irritant, like when you accidentally rub your eyes after eating spicy foods. Even the tears themselves are different. In 1981, Minnesota psychiatrist William H Frey II discovered that tears brought on by sad movies had more protein in them than those that flowed in response to some freshly chopped onions.
As anyone who has attended a side-splitting comedy act or listened to a groom read wedding vows to his bride, emotional tears aren’t limited to feelings of melancholy (愁思). But while all of us are familiar with the feelings that are associated with crying, whether for joy or sorrow, there’s not much that’s known about why we do it as adults – but there are plenty of ideas.
One idea is that adult crying isn’t actually all that different from the sort that babies do, at least when it comes to its social nature. In other words, perhaps weeping is a literal cry for attention, a means of soliciting support and help from our friends when we need it the most. It’s a way of communicating our inner emotional state at a time when we may not be able to fully articulate (清晰地表达) it.
While this may explain some forms of crying, many researchers have found that adults often cry when they’re completely alone. Another possibility that is that crying might serve as a means of “secondary appraisal,” helping people to realise just how upset they are, a way of helping them understand their own feelings – it’s a provocative idea, with at least some evidence to support it, in some cases.
And then there’s the notion of catharsis: crying provides for relief from emotionally stressful situations. The idea is consistent not only with the words of Shakespeare, but with the Roman poet Ovid, who wrote: “It is a relief to weep; grief is satisfied and carried off by tears.” The Greek philosopher Aristotle also wrote that crying “cleanses the mind”. In a 1986 study of popular US magazines and newspapers, one psychologist found that 94% of articles about crying suggested that it helped to relieve psychological tension.
Indeed, a 2008 study of nearly 4,300 young adults from 30 countries found that most reported improvements in both their mental and physical wellbeing after a bout of crying, but not all. Some reported no change after a crying session, and some even said that they felt worse afterwards.
The difference seems to lie in the social context: if a person felt embarrassed about crying in public, for example, they might feel less resolved than if they cried alone or with a single close friend. The study also found that when people tried to suppress or hide their crying, they also wound up feeling less relief afterwards.
So the notion of having “a good cry” is not without merit, but it seems to necessitate the right kind of social support to be effective, which means, in the end, that adults might just cry for much the same reason as human infants: to seek help from their friends and family.
【1】According to Darwin, the production of tears ________.
A. was a way to get rid of bad emotions
B. was regarded as the same with crying

23、Faced with setbacks large and small, you feel like your life is always taking a turn for the worse. You aren’t superstitious(迷信), but you begin to wonder—【1】 Why does it seem like you can never catch a break?
What is luck?
【2】 First, we often use the term luck as synonymous with “chance”; we may call it lucky to win at a slot machine(老虎机), although it’s actually a random event. Another way to frame luck is as a supernatural force that exists in the universe. Third, it can be thought of as a personal feature: It’s just something that you’re born with.
On the other hand, considering yourself lucky or unlucky is a way of seeing yourself which then has impact on how you behave and how you think and becomes a self-fulfilling prediction. 【3】 And it has “existed” for ages, even with our amount of science and technology, it’s something deep within us that realizes our lives are ruled by chance, and we’re trying to do something to get control over that. When people feel less in control of their lives, then people often search for supernatural explanations.
How to think about luck?
The first thing to understand is that a person’s position in society contributes to their concept of luck. For example, The circumstances you’re born into, the society you’re born into, the genetic makeup you’re handed. 【4】 Aside from these limits, however, there are steps you can take to improve your luck.
After studying people who consider themselves lucky or unlucky, experts have found that the “lucky” ones maximize chance opportunities and dare to follow their intuition to grasp those moments. If you are relaxed and happy, your world view becomes bigger and you see more opportunities. 【5】
A．People define luck in three ways.
B．So, in a sense, it absolutely does exist.
C．Could you just be an unlucky person?
D．Are you the luckiest person in the world?
E．All these things are outside of your control.
F．Good things happen to you because of your own efforts or abilities.
G．If you’re a flexible person, you’ll make the most of those opportunities.
24、The Weirdest Restaurants In The World
Regardless of the occasion, we all have our favorite restaurant to dine at, the fifth-generation Italian pizzeria in the corner, or the traditional diner that looks so run down yet serves delicious food. But just how weird can restaurants get? You’ll be amazed, so keep reading.
Ithaa, Maldives.
One of the most beautiful restaurants in the world, Ithaa is located fully under the sea and offers spectacular views to anyone brave enough to book a table. You can dine with fish all around you and enjoy a 180-degree panoramic (全景的) view. The menu is, as you might have guessed, seafood based.
O. Noir, Canada.
O. Noir in Canada is the first restaurant to introduce the concept of dining in the dark. The idea is that when our sense of sight is lost, others are heightened, so eating in the dark can only mean we’re more focused on the taste, smells and flavors than Instagram filters.
Duke’s Last Resort, US.
Duke's Last Resort is not a restaurant for sensitive people. Staff here get paid to be rude to the customers. Duke's Last Resort is famous for bad words, mocking customers and basically telling them they're cheap when they only order tap water.
The Shed, Dulwich.
One of the weirdest restaurants in the world is this one which doesn’t exist. How come? A journalist by the name of Oobah Butler decided to pull a gastronomic prank (美食恶作剧) and ended up having his fake restaurant ranked number one in London on TripAdvisor. A fried egg on a heel, a sponge covered in paint and some round-shaped power bleach powder are use some of the dishes that built The Shed’s high reputation.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One day, Gina received a smartphone. But she didn’t know how to use it. So Gina went to her daughter’s house to ask her grandson, Josh, for help.
When seeing Josh, Gina asked him for help. “Sorry Grandma. I have to leave for baseball now,” Josh answered from the sofa, his eyes locked on his own phone. Then he stood up, took his baseball bag, and left. Over the next few days, Gina went to see Josh several times. However, Josh always had something to do, giving excuses such as going to the movies.
Gina finally understood Josh actually didn’t want to help her. She stopped asking him. She turned to some friends for help. Before long, she learned how to use her phone to read stories, communicate with friends, etc.
Later, on a Monday evening, Gina visited her daughter, Oona. They happily talked when Josh was making dinner. Suddenly, they heard Josh crying out. Oona rushed towards the kitchen. Gina followed and found Josh’s hands burned by hot water by accident. “Mom, I think we need to go to the hospital,” Oona said. “Yes, I’ll drive,” Gina said.
At last, the doctor said Josh would be fine after a few days, but his hands would be bandaged (用绷带包扎). Josh was also advised not to go to school for some days so he could rest and get better soon. Oona asked Josh’s best friend to tell him his homework.
On Wednesday, Josh was alone at home. His grandma came to help make lunch for him, because he couldn’t use his hands. While Gina was cooking, Josh wanted to check his homework. His friend had sent his homework assignment to his phone through emails and text messages. But Josh couldn’t operate his phone. He realized he had to ask his grandma to help him out.
And he suddenly remembered he had refused to help his grandma when she asked for help with her phone. He was regretful and afraid she wouldn’t help him. But he decided to have a try.
