15、 B *结束Weve all experienced a good cry. Shedding (流) some tears can often make us feel better and help us put things in perspective. But why is crying beneficial? And is there such a thing as a bad cry?The researchers analyzed the detailed accounts of more than 3,000 recent crying experiences and fou

16、nd that the benefits of crying depend entirely on the what, where and when of a particular crying episode (一段经历). The majority of persons reported improvements in their mood following a short period of crying. However, one third reported no improvement in mood and a tenth felt worse after crying. Cr

17、iers who received social support during their crying episode were the most likely to report improvements in mood.Research to date has not always produced a clear picture of the benefits of crying, in part because the results often seem to depend on how crying is studied. The researchers note several

18、 challenges in accurately studying crying behavior in a laboratory setting. Volunteers who cry in a laboratory setting often do not describe their experiences as making them feel better. Rather, crying in a laboratory setting often results in the study participants feeling worse; this may be due to

19、the stressful conditions of the study itself, such as being videotaped or watched by researchers. This may produce negative emotions, which neutralize (使无效) the positive benefits usually connected with crying.However, these laboratory studies have provided interesting findings about the physical eff

20、ects of crying. Criers do show calming effects such as slower breathing, but they also experience a lot of unpleasant stress, including increased heart rate and sweating. What is interesting is that bodily calming usually lasts longer than the unpleasant. The calming effects may occur later and over

21、come the stress reaction, which would account for why people tend to remember mostly the pleasant side of crying.Research has shown that the effects of crying also depend on who is shedding the tears. For example, individuals with anxiety or mood disorders are least likely to experience the positive

22、 effects of crying. In addition, the researchers report that people who lack insight into their emotional lives actually feel worse after crying.12. We can infer from the passage that _.A. people dont like being seen cryingB. crying in public makes people feel betterC. a bad cry is as common as a go

For some reason, words with silent letters have always bothered me. For example, consider these words: know, design, island, school

33、, wrist, naughty, and salmon. All of these words have at least one letter that is not typically pronounced, and these words are just a very small part of words with silent letters in them. Some words are even worse, consider this word: colonel. Not only are some letters not pronounced, but letters t

34、hat are not even there are pronounced. Even foreign languages, especially French, are guilty of this needless complexity and confusion. I know there must be some main historical reasons why the words are spelled and pronounced the way they are, but that does not mean bad traditions must continue to

35、survive. Especially if they are no longer logical. Unfortunately, there is very little that anyone can do for it, because theres no group of people who can change or have the right to change the English language for everyone. However, the only thing we can do is make changes in the way we talk and w

36、rite in hopes that it catches on. For example, I pronounce the letter “l in salmon on purpose to make people annoyed and to sound more different or complicated. I even pronounce colonel the correct or French way. I can only hope these two minor changes to the English language make sense to you, and

37、you will help to keep up these minor changes forever in your everyday life.9. Which of the following is the main reason for silent letters? A. French language. B. Historical reasons. C. Some linguists D. Bad traditions.10. The underlined phrase “catches on probably means “_. A. becomes popular B. gets across C. follows the fashions D. doesnt fall behind11. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A. Troubles in everyday life B. Traps in English words C. Words with silent letters D. Necessary changes of languages (C) BAC
