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 from 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 (情感的) health, and crying seems to 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 (身体的) 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 a natural — and healthy — emotional response (反应).

举一反三
Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee.And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea.The physical sensation(感觉) of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions—those are the practical lesson drawn from recent research by psychologist John Bargh.
Psychologists have known that one person’s perception(感知) of another’s “warmth” powerfully determines social relationships.Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even trumping(捏造) evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable.Much of this is rooted in early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’ conceptual(概念的) sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness.Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle.Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.
Feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal.Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.
To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students.A research assistant who was unaware of the study’s hypotheses(假设) handed the students either a hot cup of coffee or a cold drink to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form: The drink was then handed back.After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description.Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.
“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly(抽象地),” says Bargh.

Last weekends, my kids along with few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car.My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of 36 other people’s cars as well.It was pretty 37 outside and I had no plans to 38 being in the bright sun.She 39 wanted to give lemonade(柠檬汽水)to passerby for free.I had seen little kids 40 and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free.Although I felt 41 , I decided to help her.

Listening to your heart
Do you ever wish you had a road map for living? If only someone could 1 show us a way to go, a direction to take, we wouldn’t feel so 2 of which path to pursue. We think that, with only a little 3 , we’ll surely end up in the right place.
4 on a regular flight from Detroit to Tri-City Airport must have felt a little more than 5 during the flight attendant’s greeting as their flight started. She 6 the passengers and stated that the destination would be Midland. A few concerned passengers 7 her, so the flight attendant, obviously not familiar with the area, 8 herself by saying that they would be 9 in “Tri-City” and Bay City.
Chuckles rippled along the aisle as she 10 tried again. This time she informed passengers that the destination would be Saginaw. Now 11 broke out.
At that point, an authoritative voice came over the intercom (对讲机) and 12 her. “I’m your pilot, folks,” he said. “Don’t 13 — I know where we’re going.”
It’s nice when someone knows the 14 . And there is wisdom in seeking help when necessary. Other people can be valuable. 15 we cannot always depend on others for the 16 answers for living our lives.

Listening to our hearts — for the direction we need is almost always there, deep within.
So if you feel a bit lost, don’t worry. This may be a 20 time to listen. And remember — your pilot knows where you’re going.
