“Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water, the French writer Antoine de Rivarol wrote. This love letter to the cleansing beauty of a good cry is a comforting thought at atime when the continuing stress of the COVID-19 has added heaviness to each of our lives.

Scientifically, de Rivarol's poetic image doesn't, if you'll forgive the words used in the poem, hold water. There's limited research on crying, partly because of the difficulty of copying the behavior of real crying in a lab. But even within the previous studies, there's little evidence to suggest that crying provides a physiological cleansing of poisons in people's body.

Psychologists believe the relief of a good cry connects with a different emotional process. “It seems that crying occurs just after the peak of the emotional experience, and crying is associated with this return to homeostasis: the process of maintaining a stable psychological state,” said Lauren Bylsma. He also said holding back tears can have negative physical consequences, including headaches and muscle tension. Such restriction can also limit our experiences of joy, gratitude and other positive emotions if we avoid acknowledging our feelings.

For me crying has been easier said than done during the COVID-19. Psychologists say it's normal to feel stopped up by the stresses of the past year. We should find opportunities to release and process our emotions.

Watching a tear-jerking movie, having an emotional conversation with a close friend, and writing in a journal are healthy ways toelicita cry. Physical activity like light-footed walking or even dancing can also signal our bodies to release some emotional tightness. We can then open up to the flow of feelings that leave us feeling lighter and refreshed—like a clear sky after a soaking rain. 4. What is the weakness of the studies ever clone on crying?

A. They were clone in a laboratory setting. B. They cared little about different forms of crying. C. They were always concentrated on people's daily life. D. They showed little about the positive physical effect of crying. 5. What is the function of crying according to Lauren Bylsma?

A. Curing people of their diseases. B. Keeping emotionally balanced. C. Producing negative mental results. D. Expanding people's experience of joy. 6. What does the underlined word “elicit” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Produce. B. Postpone. C. Control. D. Repeat. 7. What are people advised to do according to the text? A. Learn to hold back their tears wisely. B. Share their emotion with their colleagues. C. Have a good cry when necessary. D. Try to avoid admitting our feelings.

C

Earthquakes are a natural disaster—except when they're man-made. The oil and gas industry has forcefully used the technique known as hydraulic fracturing (水力压裂法) to destroy sub-surface rock and liberate the oil and gas hiding there. But the process results in large amounts of chemical-filled waste water. Horizontal drilling (水平钻孔) for oil can also produce large amount of natural, unwanted salt water. The industry deals with this waste water by pumping it into deep wells.

On Monday, the US Geological Survey published for the first time an earthquake disaster map covering both natural and “induced” quakes. The map and a report show that parts of the central United States now face a ground-shaking disaster equal to the famously unstable terrain (不稳定地形) of California.

Some 7 million people live in places easily attacked by these man-made quakes, the USGS said The list of places at highest risk of man-made earthquakes includes Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Ohio and Alabama. Most of these earthquakes are ly small, in the range of magnitude (震级) 3, but some have been more powerful, including a magnitude 5.6 earthquake in 2011 in Oklahoma that was connected to waste water filling.

Scientists said they do not know ifthere is an upper limit on the magnitude of man-made earthquakes; this is an area of active research Oklahoma has had prehistoric earthquakes as powerful as magnitude 7.

It's not immediately clear whether this new research will change industry practices, or even whether it will surprise anyone in the areas of newly supposed danger. In Oklahoma, for example, the natural rate of earthquakes is only one or two a year, but there have been hundreds since hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, with the waste water filling, became common in the last ten years. 8. What kind of human activities can cause earthquakes? A. The man-made produced waste water in the factories. B. The process of digging deep wells in those poor areas. C. The advanced techniques used to deal with waste water. D. The oil or gas industry's work connected with the earth. 9. What does the underlined word “induced” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Man-made. B. Reduced. C. Newly-built. D. Controlled.

10. How much magnitude can man-made earthquakes reach? A. It's been said as small as magnitude 3. B. It has been said as high as magnitude 7. C. It's being studied without a final conclusion. D. It has risen by an average of magnitude 5. 6. 11. What is the best title for the text?

A. Natural Earthquakes in America Are Disappearing Now B. 7 Million Americans at Risk of Man-Made Earthquakes C. Time for Oil and Gas Industry Change Their Working Practice D. More Often Earthquakes as Powerful as Magnitude 7 in America

We have most friends at the age of 26 afterhaving spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle, new research has claimed.

The research into friendship shows that our social circle peaks at 26 years and 7 months, at which we typically have five close friends. Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months, with men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months.

The research, by Forever Friends, shows that about a third of adults meet their closest friends while at school, with about a fifth saying they meet them at work.

Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship. The research points out that 25 to 34-year-olds make 22 friends via Facebook, compared to 18 to 24-year-olds who make 12, and 35 to 44-year-olds who make just four.

Forever Friends' relationship coach Sam Owen says, “It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes, giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference.\"

Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving, while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% todrift away fromchildhood friends.

With growing pressure being put on friendship these days, it's important to make time for our friendship. 12. How many friends can a 20-year-old college student make via Facebook? A. 22. B. 18. C. 12. D. 4.

13. In Paragraph 5, the author is trying to tell the readers ________. A. how important making friends is

B. school time is an important period to develop friendship C. how much has been done to keep friendship D. that friendship is not easy to keep

14. The underlined phrase \"drift away from\" in Paragraph 6 means ________. A. make sense of B. make up with C. feel sorry for D. lose touch with 15. This passage is mostprobably taken from ________. A. a newspaper B. an advertisement C. a textbook D. Facebook or Twitter 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
