Question

阅读理解 　　When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears．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 form 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 work well．One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying． 　　Besides, tears attract help from other people．Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly 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 until 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 problems 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 natural－and healthy－emotional response． (1) Why didn’t the author cry when her grandmother died?

Answer 1

答案：1．D;2．C;3．B;4．A;
解析：

(1)	本题为细节认定题。文章中并没有给出作者在奶奶去世的时候为什么没有哭的原因，所以答案为D。
(2)	本题为细节推断题。从第二段中的“Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying．”的这段信息可知，哭和笑对人起的作用是相同的，所以答案为C。
(3)	本题为细节认定题。文中的细节为第五段中的“holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering－can be bad for physical health．”，所以本题的答案应该是B。
(4)	主旨大意题。本文着重讨论的是该哭的时候就应该哭这个话题，所以文章的标题一定要体现这方面的内容。所以选择A。
