    When people reunite with their loved ones, it’s usually all extremely happy moment. But what is their most common response to seeing them again? It may seem strange，but most of the time they break down in tears.

    Now a group of psychologists from Yale University say they have found the reason why, and that crying tears of joy may well be the body’s way of keeping emotional balance. “They seem to take place when people are overtaken by strong positive emotions, and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions,” Oriana Aragon, the lead researcher said.

    Aragon and her fellow psychologists looked at hundreds of participants’ emotional responses to different things, including happy reunions and cute babies. Many participants said they would react in a negative or aggressive way to the positive things —— to cry at happy moments and want to pinch(捏)a cute baby’s face or even tell them “I want to eat you up!” But then researchers found that these people were able to calm down from strong emotions more quickly.

    There are many other examples of times when people respond to a positive experience with a negative emotional reaction. At an exciting concert, fans scream at their idols(偶像). People who have just had a big lottery win are often in floods of tears. “These findings advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions, which is importantly related to mental and physical health, the quality of relationships with others, and even how well people work together.” said Aragon．

    1.What have professors from Yale University found in their research?

    A. The reason why people cry with tears.

    B. Crying tears of joy helps to balance emotions.

    C. Strong negative feelings are useful to people.

    D. People recover slowly from strong emotions.

    2.Which of the following agrees with the findings of the research?

    A. Crying at good news.

    B. Crying at a failure.

    C. Kissing a cute baby.

    D. Laughing at happy reunions.

    3.Where does the passage most likely come from?

    A. A science fiction novel.

    B. A psychological science journal.

    C. A popular biology book.

    D. An adolescent literature book.

    Chinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against Malaria（疟疾）. This is the first Nobel Prize given to a Chinese scientist for work carried out within China.

    Tu shared the prize with Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan, who were honored for their revolutionary anti-roundworm treatment. 84-year-old Tu is awarded this prize for her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria, reducing patients’ suffering and promoting mankind’s health. Although she received several medical awards in the past, the 2015 Nobel Prize is definitely the most privilege reward that recognizes Tu’s dedication and perseverance in discovering artemisinin（青蒿素）, the key drug that battles malaria-friendly parasites（寄生虫）.

    However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditional. She won the Nobel Prize for medicine, but she doesn’t have a medical degree or a PhD. In China, she is even being called the “three-noes” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseas. No wonder her success has stirred China’s national pride and helped promote confidence of native Chinese scientists.

    The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds reminds us that science should be more accessible to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one dives into scientific research. There have been discussions on people who really love science but are never able to achieve much during their whole life. Their contributions can never be ignored. They work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researchers will be closer to the right one.

    As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu’s record-breaking winning also serves as a reminder to those who are too eager for instant success. Science is never about instant success. Tu spent decades on scientific research before its value is officially acknowledged. There is no way to measure how much one devotes to science and compare it with how much reward he or she may get.

    1. It can be concluded from the text that ______.

    A. Tu worked home and abroad to conduct her research

    B. Tu got the Nobel Prize for her anti-roundworm treatment

    C. The Nobel Prize is the first award to recognize her work

    D. Her discovery of artemisinin has helped to cut Malaria death rate

    2.The author seems to agree that a person who is more likely to become a scientist is the one with _____.

    A. a sense of national pride

    B. Relevant academic knowledge

    C. a desire to achieve success

    D. enthusiasm for scientific research

    3. In writing the passage, the author intends to ___________.

    A. inform readers of the news and make comments

    B. discourage the pursuit of instant success in science

    C. remind readers of the principles of scientific research

    D. praise the award winner and encourage scientific research
