27、 This isn't just a social expectation.One study found that women cry greatly more than men do-five times as often,on average,and almost twice as long each time.So it's perhaps surprising to learn that the sex gap in crying seems to be a recent development.Historically,men regularly cried,and no one saw it as shameful.For example,in the early stories,men cried purely because they missed their girlfriends.There's n mention of the men in these stories pretending(假装)1o have.something in their eyes or making an excuse to leave the room.Instead,they cried in a crowded hall with their heads held high and nobody made fin of them.
So where did all the male tears go?There was no anti-crying movement.No leaders of church or state discouraged them.Possibly this change took place as we moved to an industrial society.In the Middle Ages,most people spent their lives among those they had known since birth.Most of them related by blood or marriage.If men cried,they did so with people who would feel and understand the same way.But from the 18th to 20th centuries,people were living among thousands of strangers.Furthermore,changes in the economy required men to work in factories or offices where emotional expression was discouraged as time wasting.
Yet there's reason to believe that holding back tears can be harmful to your well-being.Research has suggested a relationship between stress-related illnesses and inadequate(不足的)crying.Men holding back tears are less likely than women to get help when they’re suffering from unhappiness,which,in turn,results in higher self-killing rates as well as higher rates of alcoholism(酗酒)and drug addiction.
It's time to open the floodgates.When bad luck strikes,let us all,men and women,join together and cry until our sleeves are wet through.
【1】What can we say about the men crying in the early stories?
A.It was surprising. B.It was natural.
C.It was a secret. D.It was an excuse.
【2】The underlined word“they”in Paragraph 2 most probably refers to___.
A.church leaders B.strangers
C.distant relatives D.familiar people
【3】What might lead to alcoholism according to the text?
A.Ordinary illnesses. B.Helpless situations.
C.Enough crying. D.Drug addition.
【4】What does the author seem to suggest men do?
A.Hold back tears. B.Follow bad luck.
C.Cry uncontrollably. D.Cry in a low voice.
28、 With attractiveness in its structure and in its presence, the Eiffel Tower has become a symbol of France and Gustave Eiffel's architectural (建筑的) wonder. Do you know how tall the Eiffel Tower is? Standing at 1, 063 feet tall, this is the second tallest monument in France after the Millau Viaduct, a road bridge over the river Tarn. The tower was built between 1887 and 1889 as the entrance arch for the World Fair. About 18,038 pieces of iron were put together with millions of rivets (铆钉). Gustave Eiffel was helped by several design engineers. Ironically, at first, the tower was considered unpleasant by a lot of artists. Several members from the arts community said it only ruined the empty skyline of the Paris city. French novelist Guy de Maupassant expressed his dislike for the tower by eating lunch everyday at the tower's restaurant-his explanation was that it was the only place in Paris where one could not see the structure!
The tower, weighing 10,000 tons, includes several non-metallic (非金属的) parts as well. The metallic parts used in the structure weigh 7, 300 tons, which, if melted, will fill up a 125-meter square with a depth of 6 cm. At the time when the tower was built, the great structure amazed lots of engineers and common people. The Eiffel Tower needs 50-60 tons of paint every seven years to keep the rust(铁锈) away.
Being one of the most visited sites in the world, the Eiffel Tower still remains an architectural wonder! To sum up its beauty, here's a quote by Gustave Eiffel, “I ought to be jealous (嫉妒的) of the tower. She is more famous than I am!”
【1】Which of the following about the Eiffel Tower is TRUE?
A.It runs across the river Tarn. B.It's the tallest monument in France.
C.Gustave Eiffel was its leading designer. D.It has become a less popular landmark.
【2】What does the underlined word “Ironically” in the first paragraph mean?
A.Impolitely. B.Excitingly.
C.Surprisingly. D.Carefully.
【3】How much paint was probably used from1996 to 2016 on the tower?
A.About 7,300 tons. B.About 170 tons.
C.About 10,000 tons. D.About 55 tons.
【4】What is the purpose of the second paragraph?
A.To show how grand the Eiffel Tower is.
B.To show what the Eiffel Tower was used for.
C.To show what was used to build the Eiffel Tower.
D.To show how difficult it is to clean the Eiffel Tower.
29、 The bad health effects of sleep loss during the week can’t be repaid by longer weekend sleep, according to a new study.
Researchers have long known that sleep deprivation (剥夺) can cause weight gain and increase other health risks. But for those who force themselves out of bed every weekday after too few hours of shut-eye, they hope turning off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.
The research, published in Current Biology, crushes those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep during a weekend recovery period, people in a sleep lab who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced disorders that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of sleep loss, those gains were wiped out when people fell right back into their same sleep-deprived schedule the next Monday.
“If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they’re gone when you go back to your daily schedule. It’s very short-lived,” said Kenneth Wright, director of the sleep and chronobiology lab at the University of Colorado at boulder. “These health effects are long-term. It’s kind of like smoking once was—people would smoke and wouldn’t see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early stage of where smoking used to be.”
Wright said that the study suggests people should put sleep in the first place—cutting out the “sleep stealers” such as watching television shows or spending time on their phones. Even when people don’t have a choice about losing sleep because of child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about getting sleep in the same way they would get a healthy diet or exercise.
【1】What do the researchers find about weekend recovery sleep?
A. It is common among people.
B. It will make people healthier.
C. It can make people put on weight.
D. It’s able to make up for the sleep loss.
【2】What does the underlined word “crushes” mean?
A. Arouses. B. Guarantees.
C. Deepens. D. Ruins.
【3】What will Kenneth Wright agree with?
A. It takes long for people to see the effects of sleep loss.
B. Smoking and sleep loss have the same bad effects.
C. Weekend recovery sleep has many benefits.
D. Smoking is more harmful than sleep loss.
【4】What does Kenneth Wright advise people to do?
A. Sleep as long as possible during weekdays.
B. Watch some TV shows before bedtime.
C. Reduce the screen time before sleep.
D. Take regular exercise every day.
