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).

Surfing: It's Not Just for Boys Anymore

    If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or volleyball. I happen to be one of the few girls who would    1   : surfing (冲浪运动). But isn't that a boy thing? Some people    2   . Most certainly not.

    I started surfing about five years ago and    3   in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding that first    4    was the best feeling I had ever experienced. When I try to   5  surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my    6   , there's nothing like it. It involves (牵涉到) body,    7   , and soul. There's sand between my toes and cool, salt water all 8    us. The feeling I get when I'm surfing across that    9   , becoming one with the 10   , is like I'm weightless.

    The one thing I can    11    from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge (挑战). You can never be the “best surfer” because the ocean    12    an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and flowing; others are very aggressive (活跃有力的) and    13   . All of these things attract me to surfing and make it    14    from any other sport.

    I've    15    to tell every girl I know to do something that people don't think girls can do. It's part of being human to advance to new    16   , so shouldn't it be expected that girls should step up and start    17    the limits of things boys and men used to dominate (主宰)?

    There're women    18    side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys    19    the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to    20   , and they will.
