2、ver 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 its reserved for grand victories, defeats and deaths.

3、er 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 Im a bit of a cryer.

4、 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
5、(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 theres certain pleasure in crying.

10、eir 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 showe
11、d 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
12、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 sci
13、entists 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
14、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 wh

18、ished 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 youll get different answers.

19、rise. When it comes to promoting a business, trying to find the single choice is rarely wise. Youll see business owners and managers try radio advertising. When that doesnt produce the results they want, theyll change to sending direct mail. When that doesnt create a jump in sales, theyll buy TV com
