The Value of Tears
Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. Tears leave you embarrassed and without energy. Still, crying is a fact of life, and your tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, they make a film over the eye’s surface.  小题1:
When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions（情绪）, afraid that once they lose control they’ll never get it back.”  小题2: After we cry, the  feelings that caused the tears often disappear.
Sometimes people become much stressed and can’t cry. Whatever emotion they are feeling — shock, anger, fear, or sadness— is being held back.
But everyone has the need to cry. Psychologist Vera Diamond explains that her treatment often consists of giving people permission to cry.  小题3: Patients practice crying just to become used to expressing emotions. She suggests safe, private places to cry, like under the bedcovers or in the car. Crying is a way of ease tension, but people don’t like it when others cry because it makes them tense.小题4: And they’ll do just about anything to make you stop.
In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. It’s good not to cry during a tense business discussion.  小题5:You should also act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better. “And,” she adds, “Once your tears have taken away the stress, you can begin to think calmly of ways to deal with the problem.”
Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. If you find yourself near someone crying, deal with it. And never be afraid to cry yourself.

A．They too may be holding back a need to cry.

B．They cry for different reasons.

C．She gives crying exercises.

D．It contains a chemical against infection（炎症）.

E. The fact is no emotion lasts forever.

G. But once you’re safely behind closed doors, don’t just cry.

解析

试题分析：本文属于科普类短文。讲述了眼泪的作用。
小题1:D 根据前一句Even when you’re not crying, they make a film over the eye’s surface说明泪水可以覆盖眼睛的表面。故D项可以消炎属于泪水的另外的作用。
小题2:E 根据下一句After we cry, the  feelings that caused the tears often disappear说明哭了以后，导致我们哭的感觉就消失了，E项内容与之相符。
小题3:C 根据下一句Patients practice crying just to become used to expressing emotions.说明哭给了人们表达过去的练习的机会，故C说法正确。
小题4:A 根据下一句And they’ll do just about anything to make you stop.说明他们会不让你哭，故A项，他们会让你控制住哭的需要。符合上下文。
小题5:G 根据下一句You should also act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like.说明你还要采取行动，故说明不仅仅要哭，那么G项内容符合上下文。
