Crying is the sign of the rawest of human emotions. We cry when we can’t hold inside what we feel any more. We cry when we’re at our best, and when we’re at our worst. 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, break-ups 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 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 realized that tears are for everybody. They show we have sympathy, allow us to get rid of stress and just feel.
1.What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Crying is an emotion beyond control.
B. Crying is a raw human emotion.
C. Crying is an emotion showing sadness.
D. Crying is an emotion showing happiness.
2.What’s the difference between men and women in crying according to Dutch research?

D. Women cry more often over deaths.

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
Life is comprised emotion and sense. When we were babies we reached the pinnacle(顶峰) of emotion. At that time we asked for everything that we wanted, cried as we were uncomfortable, laughed as we were happy and released our emotions day and night. When we grow up we find that if we want to live in a cozier environment we must be sensible enough to deal with our emotions and relationships. Our world is based on sense and beautified by emotion.
Sense is the base of life; it builds up the structure of life, and helps us see the real world. And emotion is the invaluable element of life. It adds colorful paint to our life. Lacking sense we may lose the guiding light and lacking emotion we may lose the value of life.
We admire Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, we are attracted by Michelangelo’s The Creation of Man, and we are carried away by Monet’s Lotus. Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet may bring us tears, Victor Hugo’s poems can make a maid’s love revive, and Jane Austin’s stories arouse our dream of holding a party of ladies and gentlemen as an England beauty in the countryside. All of them are people who deserve our respect and showed us sentimental emotion: love, hatred, betrayal, loyalty and so on. They made their works full of emotion, shocked our nerves, and evoked our passions. Somebody may have found their destiny in these works, and surely they influence people time after time. But in fact, though these people or their works have the power to control our mental world, we don’t choose them to be our President or Prime Minister. We cannot deny the fact that our world is based on sense and ration. Mark Twain once said that the passion of friendship is so sweet, steady and royal and enduring a nature that it will last through a whole lifetime if neither of the two friends asks the other to lend money.
Emotion is our nature and sense gives us an eye to live in reality. Only sense makes Jack a dull boy; emotional moments give us vigor and enthusiasm to live and color our life.
1.We can learn from the second paragraph that__________________.
A. sense is no more important than emotion
B. sense is as important as emotion to human life
C. sense deserves less concern than emotion
D. sense gives people more pleasure than emotion
2.What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. Artists are good at containing emotion in their works.
B. Works full of emotion show people the value of life.
C. There is a variety of emotions in this world.
D. Life can’t be enjoyable without emotion.
3.What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Sense and emotion make people wiser
B. Sense and emotion help you live in peace
C. Sense and emotion—the bases of our life
D. Sense and emotion—the reason for happiness

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
The other day at a supermarket, I saw a naughty child of about six crying loudly, falling to the floor and refusing to move. All the while the troubled mother was trying to persuade him to behave well but failed. A little smack(打)on his bottom would have worked ,I thought.
Teenagers also cause discipline(纪律)problems. As a teacher I had a 16-year-old student who had fallen in love with a waiter at a fast-food restaurant. In fact, she had left home to stay with him. So we decided to put her in the school hostel .She refused. When she heard her mother begging her to stay in the school hostel, she turned around and said: “Why don’t you stay in the school hostel if you like it so much?”
My hands were going to slap her for being so rude but the poor mother continued to cajole her , hoping the gentle persuasion would work wonders. It did not. Later I heard that she had run away from home again.
The list goes on and on. Could it be that today’s parents are so softer and believe that they must not rod(棍棒惩罚)their children for fear of the bad results? Or do they really believe that the children will get rid of the bad habits and behave well as they grow older? I beg to disagree. I believe it is the parents’ duty to discipline the children even at a young age.
My children who are now adults will prove the fact that I used the rod when I thought it necessary. Later when they went abroad, they told their university friends how they were disciplined. Their friends were shocked and said that I could be charged with child abuse. However ,my daughter showed great respect for me when she told them that she would not be where she was today if not for my strict discipline.
1. According to the passage, the author would probably________.
A. beat the children every day B. treat the children in a soft way
C. leave the children as they are D. punish the children when necessary
2. The underlined word cajole” (in para.3)means_______.
A. persuade B .scold C. forgive D. punish
3.In the author’s opinion, how should parents make their children grow up well?
A. rod their children B .punish their children
C. discipline their children D. discipline and punish their children if necessary
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The naughty boy’s mother hit him
B. The teacher’s daughter lived with her mother
C. The daughter was thankful for her mother’ strict discipline
D. The author was charged with child abuse by the daughter’s friends
