We cry when we're at our best, and when we're at our worst. By we, I mean all of us. Men included.But we never see other men cry. In no western culture has it ever been acceptable for men to shed (流泪) more than a single tear, and even then it's reserved for grand victories, defeats and deaths. Dutch research suggests that women cry between three and five times more than men. Generally men and women cry over the same things deaths, break­ups and homesickness, primarily, but researchers believe that men cry more often than women when it comes to positive events.I want to admit I'm a bit of a cryer. However, having never really experienced deaths in my life, a few weeks ago I experienced what it means to really, truly, pour my heart out in tears.See, my dog and 24/7 companion was killed by a car right outside my house. Being a witness to this painful event left me in shock for a good hour, but then the floodgates opened. Over the next 48 hours, I might have cried 20 times. Once or twice I crouched (蹲) on the floor with my head in my hands and tears were the only outlet.It is suggested in the book Adult Crying：A Biopsychosocial Approach that there's certain pleasure in crying. It helps ease stress when there is no other way to express ourselves.In those days after my dog's death, I remember thinking, “I've got to stop this crying”. It felt unmanly. It felt like a sign of weakness. I've since realised that tears are for everybody; they're not gender­specific. They show we have sympathy, allow us to get rid of stress and just feel.1What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?- 2 -A. Crying is an emotion showing sadness. BCrying is an emotion beyond control.C Crying is a raw human emotion. DCrying is an emotion showing happiness.2What's the difference between men and women in crying according to Dutch research?AMen are more likely to have tears of joy.BThey cry at different times of life.CWomen cry more often over deaths.DThey cry over different matters.3What did the author think of his crying over his dog's death?AA sign of strength. BA way of reducing emotional stress.CBehavior of being womanish. DA sign of weakness.4What's the best title for the text? AMen, never cry like women BCrying solves psychological problemsC Men, it's OK to cry sometimes DCrying explains differences between men and womenB BLucy, whose skeleton(骨骼) was discovered in Ethiopia in 1974,died shortly after she fell out of a tree, according to a new study published Monday in the British journal Nature.For their research, Kappelman and Dr. Richard Ketcham used a CT scanner to create more than 35,000 “slices” of Lucys skeleton. Scientists named her Lucy from the Beatles song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”, which was played at the camp the night of her discovery.The following analysis of the slices showed sharp, clean breaks seen at the end of Lucys right humerus (肱骨) are similar to bone breaks seen in victims of - 3 -falls.The researchers concluded that these and other breaks in her skeleton show that Lucy, who is believed to have stood about 3 feet 6 inches and weighed about 60 pounds, fell feet first and used her arms to support herself but the injury was too severe to have been survivable.The researchers estimate that Lucy was going about 35 miles an hour when she hit the ground after falling from a height of roughly 40 feet, according to the statement.That sounds plausible. But other scientists are doubtful. “There are countless explanations for bone breaks,”Dr. Donald C. Johanson , director of the Institute of Human Origins and one of the scientists who discovered Lucy, said, “The suggestion that she fell out of a tree is largely a just-so story and therefore unprovable.”Johanson said it was more likely that Lucys breaks occurred long after she died, saying that elephant bones appear to have the same kind of breaks. Its unlikely they fell out of a tree.But the new research focused on a small number of breaks that are consistent with high-energy bone-to-bone influences and which differ from the sorts of breaks commonly seen in other collected bones. Kappelman responded in an email, “These appear to have occurred at or near the time of death.”5 5.What can we know about Lucy from Kappelman and Dr. Richard Ketchams research?A. She made an effort to save herself. B. She had more than 35,000 slices.C. She couldnt use her arms properly. D. She got her name from a band.6 6.What does the underlined word “plausible” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A. Surprising. B. Creative. C. Reasonable. D. Unbelievable.7 7.Which of the following would Johanson probably agree?A. Elephants are unlikely to die from falling.- 4 -B. Other reasons for the breaks should be considered.C. Lucy got breaks at or near the time of death.D. Lucys bone breaks differ from other bone breaks.8 8.What conclusion can we draw from the passage?A. Lucy didnt die from falling out of a tree.B. The newly published study was meaningless.C. Scientists will find another way to solve the problem.D. The argument on how Lucy died will continue.C CBring any group of business owners or managers together, ask them the best way to promote their organizations, and you'll get different answers. That comes as no surprise. When it comes to promoting a business, trying to find the single choice is rarely wise. You'll see business owners and managers try radio advertising. When that doesn't produce the results they want, they'll change to sending direct mail. When that doesn't create a jump in sales, they'll buy TV commercials. When that falls short of their expectations, they'll try a new online strategy.and it goes on and on.For most companies, the best approach is a mix of different channels, organized in ways that allow each to build upon the others. The channel that will work best in a given situation depends on a lot of factors, including the company itself, its audience, the message being conveyed, the environment, and many more.Just that radio worked well for a company's last effort doesn't mean that TV advertising wouldn't be a better choice this time. Or maybe the right channel is direct mail. There's no simple answer，because there are so many variables. If your audience is broad, then maybe radio or newspaper advertising is the right choice. If you're targeting a carefully defined group, such as former customers, direct mail or email will probably perform better.There are two important lessons here. The first is not to concentrate on trying to find a single channel that will serve all of the company's needs, because it just doesn't exist. The second lesson is that before you spend the first dollar - 5 -to promote your business, you need to do more than a little learning. You'll really need to understand your customers, your marketplace, your competitors, and the environments in which you do business. And you need a good understanding of what makes one marketing channel right for one situation, but not another.9According to Paragraph 1, there are no_Aallpurpose ads Bunsuccessful ads Ccheap ads Dperfect ads10.
