“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.

As a rider, Anna Kiesenhofe’s Olympics victory might be a surprise. The winner of the road race at the Tokyo Olympics left the sport at the end of 2017 when she found herself out of contract (合同). She came into Tokyo without a professional team and left as an Olympic champion.
The 30-year old began her cycling career in 2014 after running injuries that prevented her from continuing her pursuits of triathlon (铁人三项). She later joined a Catalan team and won the Spanish National Cup in 2016.
The then-26 year old signedher first professional contract with Lotto Soudal Ladies for the following season. However, she ended her 2017 campaign in April and did not sign a contract for 2018, eventually taking a year off the bike. In 2019, Kiesenhofer came back to the sport as a rider, winning the Austrian national road race. Despite her results, Kiesenhofer sill had no professional contract while going into the Tokyo Olympics.
Kiesenhofer was the first rider to attack in the Olympic road race, eventually forming a breakaway along with Carl Oberholzer, Omer Shapira, Vera Looser and Anna Plichta, which went on to reach a gap of 11 minutes. After Looser and Oberholzer were dropped, Kiesnhofer ataced her two remaining breakaway companions.
After Shapira and Plichta were caught by the peloton (主车群), the rest of the riders seemed to believe that they were racing among themselves for Gold, not knowing that Remehofere was still in front. While it might be a misjudgment from the rest of the peloton that allowed Kiesenhofer to keep her lead of more than two minutes,
other riders’ mistakes should not detract from the Austrian’s efforts.
Off the bike the new Olympic Champion has a PhD in mathematics after studying at the Technical University of Vienne as well as at Cambridge University. She currently works at the University of Lausanne. 8. Why did Anna give up triathlon?
A. She got injured. B. She lost interest in it.
C. She had to attend university. D. She never won a medal. 9. Which is the right order of the following events? ①She ended her campaign. ②She took a year off the bike. ③She began her cycling career.
④She won the Austrian national road race. ⑤She won the Spanish National Cup.
A. ③④①②⑤. B. ②③④①⑤. C. ③⑤①②④. D. ④②③①⑤.
10. What were the riders of the peloton unaware of at the Tokyo Olympics? A. The road race was so difficult. B. Anna was a new rider. C. They had caught up with Anna. D. Anna took the lead of them. 11. What is Anna’s present job?
A. A cycling coach. B. A university teacher. C A professional rider. D. A college student.
D
The idea came to him when he least expected it. Alvin Irby was at a barbershop when he saw one of his former students sitting in the shop with a bored look on his face. That’s when Irby realized that by pairing barbershops and books, he might be able to inspire young boys to read.
Alvin Irby, a former kindergarten and first-grade teacher, knows how important it is for young children to read. He also knows that young boys in particular often don’t have adult male role models who inspire them to read. “Many young boys may literally never see a man reading in school during the years when they’re learning to read because there are so few male elementary school teachers,” Irby toldMashable.
That’s where the barbershops come in. Four years ago, Irby launched Barbershop Books as a way to not just get books into the hands of young boys, but also to create community reading spaces in a place where kids go
frequently. Since itsinceptionin 2013, the program has created kid-friendly reading spaces in 50 barbershops in 12 states throughout the United States.
Irby isn’t the first person to see the connection between barbershops and books and boys. Hair stylist Courtney Holmes, launched a program a few years ago offering free haircuts to kids as long as they read to him while he cuts their hair.
That’s the kind of environment that Irby wants to promote with his program. The reading spaces created by Barbershop Books help to spark an interest in books by showing kids that reading is about more than just spelling and vocabulary skills, it’s about making reading a low-stress activity that can help them relax, laugh and have fun.
“Our belief is that if we can create positive reading experiences early and often for young boys, then they will choose to read for fun,” Irby noted, adding, “This is really what Barbershop Books is about, getting young boys to say three words: I’m a reader.”
12. What happened to Alvin when he was at a barbershop? A. He found it easy for young people to get bored. B. He offered a barbershop to his former student. C. He thought of a way to encourage young readers. D. He realized the importance of reading for young boys. 13. What is the function of Barbershop Books? A. To attract more customers who love films. B. To provide free haircuts to book lovers. C. To show the influence of reading on children. D. To create a reading environment fbr children. 14. It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A. reading is a low-stress activity that is relaxing B. Barbershop Books is only suitable for young boys C. Irby attaches great importance to school education
D. Barbershop Books can arouse (引起) young people’s interest in reading 15. What does the underlined word “inception” in the 3rdparagraph mean? A. discovery. B. success. C. popularity. D. beginning.

In my opinion, love played an important role in our daily life. Life like a beautiful boat, and love is the wind. With the help of the wind, the boat can by no means go to the place what it wants to go. In my family, my parents both love me deep. It is love that makes me happy or warm. At school, all the students and teachers are friendly to me. They always motive me with inspired words, which have a significantly positive impact to me. In a short, I think love is something that we can’t describe well in any language. Love gives us a lot. So please value them.
