The Value of Tears
Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. Tears leave you embarrassed and without energy. Still, crying is a fact of life, and your tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, they make a film over the eye’s surface. 小题1:
When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions（情绪）, afraid that once they lose control they’ll never get it back.” 小题2: After we cry, the feelings that caused the tears often disappear.
Sometimes people become much stressed and can’t cry. Whatever emotion they are feeling — shock, anger, fear, or sadness— is being held back.

Psychologist Vera Diamond explains that her treatment often consists of giving people permission to cry. 小题3: Patients practice crying just to become used to expressing emotions. She suggests safe, private places to cry, like under the bedcovers or in the car. Crying is a way of ease tension, but people don’t like it when others cry because it makes them tense.小题4: And they’ll do just about anything to make you stop.
In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. It’s good not to cry during a tense business discussion. 小题5:You should also act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better. “And,” she adds, “Once your tears have taken away the stress, you can begin to think calmly of ways to deal with the problem.”

In many parts of the world, cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them. 1 But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by government but also by car manufacturers(制造商).
The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program. 2 That will mean much saving, no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself, 3 . Instead，we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing．
According to Dr．David Davis，who leads the research team，these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture，which had blocked up our cities，polluted our air, and caused more deaths than both world wars put together．
Davis says，cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices(装置) to regulate(调节) the distance between one car and another. 4 Computers are much safer drivers than people，so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.
By 2010，Dr．David Davis believes，car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road，whatever the weather conditions，by projecting an image（影像）of the road ahead on to the car’s windscreen． 5 Cars will be connected by an electronic bar to the car in front to form “road-trains”. “The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount of fuel.” says Davis. “ But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount，and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.”| A．The team there believes that by 2030 all cars will be computerized. | | B．They believe that cars will become more important in 20 years. | | C．And it will not be owned by one individual. | | D．And by 2030, cars will travel in line, linked to each other electronically. |
E．So the idea that in 20 years’ time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe.
F．Every driver will use less fuel in the car he owns.
G．The car will automatically speed up, or slow down, to match the speed of the car in front. |
