五．阅读理解
A
When I was small and my grandmother died ,I had no tears. I was brought up by my dearest grandmother and my family all believed I should have brust into tears.But I could not feel the sadness because I still expected her to call my name as usual.But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up,my laugh turned into crying.
So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain.Just as laughing has many health advantages,scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.
Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional health,and crying seems to do us good.In a survey investigating the effect of crying on pressure feeling, it is found that 85 percent of women and 73percent of men report feeling better after crying.
Besides,tears attract help other people.Researchers agree that when we cry ,people around us become kinder and friendlier and they are more ready to provide support and comfort .Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better;sometimes we don’t even know we’re very sad unitl we cry.We learn about our emotions through crying,and then we can deal with them.
Just as crying can be healthy ,not crying—holding back tears of anger,pain or suffering—can be bad for physical health.Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure ,heart paroblems and some other illnesses.If you have a health problem,doctors will certainly not ask you to cry .But when you feel like crying,don’t fight it.It’s a natural ---and healthy ---emotional response.

B
Outside our hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam,a seemingly ancient woman waited beside the door with her hand outstretched .Every day I put my hand in hers as our eyes met .She never failed to return my smile ,my grasp ,and my greeting.
On the last day of our visit ,I found myself alone on a busy corner across the street form our hotel .Bicycles and motorbikes rushed in front of me .As I hesitated on the side walk ,I felt a hand on my elbow and looked down to see the smile of my small beggar friend looking up at me .She nodded her head toward the street ,indicating that she would take me across .Together ,we moved slowly into the chaos.
Then we moved on toward the sidewalk ,where she pulled my face down to hers ,kissed me on both cheeks ,and then left ,still smiling and waving back to me.
Traveling in poorer nations ,I have witnessed a variety of ways to deal with beggars .The most common response of tourists faced with the poverty-stricken is to ignore them and focus their eyes elsewhere .I have seen people push away an outstretched hand in angry annoyance .A few may drop a few coins into the hand in a hurry ,hoping that other ragged pursuers won’t immediately appear on the scene.
For many reasons ,giving money is not the best response to an outstretched hand .Many world travelers have discovered that the greatest gift they can give is their time and respect .Everyone needs recognition ,to be seen as worthy of being known ,to feel appreciated and loved .And I believe that everyone is worthy and worth knowing.
