21、 One of our most firmly established ideas of masculinity（男子气概）is that men don't cry. Although he might weep bitter tears at a funeral, a real man is expected to quickly regain control. Sobbing openly is for girls. But historical and literary evidence suggests that, in the past, not only did men cry in public, but no one saw it as weak or shameful.【1】
In written records of the Middle Ages, we find one ambassador repeatedly bursting into tears when addressing Philip the Good, and the entire audience at a peace conference throwing themselves on the ground, sobbing and weeping as they listen to the speeches. Still more remarkably, there's no mention of the men in these stories trying to hold back or hide their tears. No one pretends to have something in his eye.【2】 They cry in a crowded hall with their heads held high.
【3】The most obvious possibility is that this shift is the result of changes that took place as we moved from a feudal（封建的），agricultural society to one that was urban and industrial. In the Middle Ages, a typical village had only 50 — 300 inhabitants, most of them related by blood or marriage. If men cried, they did so with people who would empathize. But from the 18th through the20th centuries, the population became increasingly urbanised. 【4】 Furthermore, changes in the economy required men to work together in factories and offices where emotional expression and even private conversation were discouraged as time-wasting.
Yet human beings weren't designed to swallow their emotions, and there's reason to believe that holding back tears can be harmful to your well-being. Research from the 1980s has suggested a relationship between a person's rate of stress-related illnesses and inadequate crying. 【5】 A study has found that in countries where people cry the most, they also report the highest levels of satisfaction.
So it might be time to return to the free-flowing tears of the past. When misfortune strikes, let us all — men and women — join together and cry until our sleeves are soaked.
A.So where did all the male tears go?
B.No one makes an excuse to leave the room.
C.Soon, people were living in the midst of thousands- of strangers
D.Weeping is also, contrary to all expectations, correlated with happiness.
E.The question remains whether inadequate crying is harmful or beneficial.
F.In fact, male weeping was regarded as normal for most of recorded history.
G.Despite the considerable evidence, men can't express feelings freely by any means.
22、Four Best Countries to Visit in Europe
Germany
As the world’s largest beer festival, Oktoberfest attracts a large number of beer lovers from all over the world every September. In addition to the beer, during the Oktoberfest every year, a dress parade is held in the streets of Munich. There are nearly 10,000 people to take part in the parade.
Greece
The city Santonia in this country is the most popular tourist city in Europe, because there is a very romantic Aegean Sea.

23、In ancient Greece, Socrates was a widely-recognized wise man. One day one fellow met the great philosopher and said, “Do you know what I just heard about your friend?”
“Hold on a minute,” Socrates replied. “Before telling me anything I’d like you to pass a little test. It’s called the Triple Filter Test.”. “Triple filter?”. “That’s right,” Socrates continued. “Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you’re going to say. That’s why I call it the triple filter test.
The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?” “No,” the man said, “actually I just heard about it and…”. “All right,” said Socrates. “So you don’t know if it’s true or not.
Now let’s try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?” . “No, on the contrary…”. “So,” Socrates continued, “you want to tell me something bad about him, but you’re not certain it’s true.
You may still pass the test though, because there’s one filter left: the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?” “No, not really.”
“Well,” concluded Socrates, “if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?”
Well we can always participate in loose talks to curb our boredom. But when it comes to your friends its not worth it. Always avoid talking behind the back about your near and dear friends.

Bill grew up poor and worked hard over the years. Eventually, he created his own repair company and made a fortune. Though rich, he treated people kindly and would handle matters on his own. He had already joined his work team many times to repair water pipes, so he was also an expert when it came to repair work.

However, all the repair employees were sent out. He decided to take on the job himself. After changing into his repair clothes, Bill hurriedly drove to where the woman lived.
On the way, he came across a snack bar. Hungry, he decided to buy something to eat. Unfortunately, the line was too long and he was stuck in the long queue. He had no other choice but to wait patiently. Finally, it was Bill’s turn. Meanwhile a lot of people in line behind him were waiting anxiously Just then, a flamboyantly(华丽地) dressed lady suddenly appeared and intervened before Bill. Bill smiled and said, “Sorry, ma’am, you’re jumping in line.” The lady looked at Bill with an arrogant(傲慢的) attitude saying, “So what?
