C
People laugh and people cry．But it is thought that emotions such as anger, or joy, typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and embarrassed．The shedder of tears （落泪者） is likely to apologize, even when a great tragedy was the cause．The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional tears．But judging from recent studies of crying behavior, both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive （适得其反）．
Humans are the only animals clearly known to shed emotional tears．Since evolution has given rise to few purposeless physiological responses, it is logical to assume that crying has one or more functions that increase survival．
Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to ask for assistance form others （as a crying baby might from its mother）, the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help．Vo-cal （出声的） cries would have been quite enough, more likely than tears to gain attention．So, it appears that there must be something special about tears themselves．
Indeed, the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct role in easing stress． University of Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical composition of tears have recently separated two important chemicals from emotional tears．Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to emotion．Tears shed because of exposure to cut onion would contain no such substance．
Other researchers are looking into the usefulness of tears as a means of diagnosing human ills and monitoring drugs．At Tulane University's Teat Analysis Laboratory Dr．Peter Kastl and his colleagues report that they can use tears to detect drug abuse, to study the causes of "dry eye" syndrome （综合症）and the effects of eye surgery, and perhaps even to measure exposure to environmental pollutants．
1.What does the phrase "both those responses" in Paragraph 1 refer to ?
A．Crying out of sorrow and shedding tears for happiness．
B．The embarrassment and unpleasant feelings of the observers．
C．Linking illness with crying and finding the chemical composition of tears．
D．The tear shedder' s apology and the observer' s effort to stop the crying．
2.It is known from the first paragraph that____．
A．shedding tears gives unpleasant feelings to Americans
B．crying may often result in tragedy
C．crying usually wins sympathy from other people
D．one who sheds tears in public will be blamed
3.What does the author say about crying?
A．It is a pointless physiological response to the environment．
B．It must have a role to play in man' s survival．
C．It is meant to get attention and assistance．
D．It usually produces the desired effect．
4.From the passage we can infer that____．
A．it is unnatural for people to shed tears
B．we can reduce our stress by shedding tears
C．shedders of tears can' t get help by crying loudly
D．unlike animals, humans can shed tears for survival

D
Whoever has made a voyage up the Hudson River must remember the Catskill Mountains. They are a branch of the great Appalachian family, and can be seen to the west rising up to a noble height and towering over the surrounding country. When the weather is fair and settled, they are clothed in blue and purple, and print their beautiful shapes on the clear evening sky, but sometimes when it is cloudless, gray steam gathers around the top of the mountains which, in the last rays of the setting sun, will shine and light up like a crown of glory.
At the foot of these mountains, a traveler may see light smoke going up from a village.
In that village, and in one of the houses (which, to tell the exact truth, was sadly time-worn and weather-beaten), there lived many years ago, a simple, good-natured fellow by the name of Rip Van Winkle.
Rip's great weakness was a natural dislike of all kinds of money-making labor. It could not be from lack of diligence, for he could sit all day on a wet rock and fish without saying a word, even though he was not encouraged by a single bite. He would carry a gun on his shoulder for hours, walking through woods and fields to shoot a few birds or squirrels. He would never refuse to help a neighbor, even in the roughest work. The women of the village, too, used to employ him to do such little jobs as their less helpful husbands would not do for them. In a word, Rip was ready to attend to everybody's business but his own.
If left to himself, he would have whistled life away in perfect satisfaction; but his wife was always mad at him for his idleness (懒散). Morning, noon, and night, her tongue was endlessly going, so that he was forced to escape to the outside of the house -- the only side which, in truth, belongs to a henpecked husband.
1.Which of the following best describes the Catskill Mountains?
A. They are on the west of the Hudson River.
B. They are very high and beautiful in this area.
C. They can be seen from the Appalachian family.
D. They gather beautiful clouds in blue and purple.
2.The hero of the story is probably_____________.
A. hard-working and likes all kinds of work
B. idle and hates all kinds of jobs
C. simple, idle but very dutiful
D. gentle, helpful but a little idle
3.The underlined words "henpecked husband" in the last paragraph probably means
a man who .
A. likes hunting
B. is afraid of hens
C. loves his wife
D. is afraid of his wife
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A. Catskill Mountains.
B. A Mountain Village.
C. Rip Van Winkle.
D. A Dutiful Husband.
