ICry,ThereforeIAm
A) In 2008, at a German zoo, a gorilla(大猩猩)named Gana gave birth to a male infant, who died after three months.
PhotographsofGana,lookingstrickenandinconsolable(伤心欲绝的),attractedcrowdstothezoo.Sadasthescenewas,
the humans, not Gana, were the only ones crying. The notion that animals can weep has no scientific basis. Years of
observationsbybiologistsDianFossey,whoobservedgorillas,andJaneGoodall,whoworkedwithchimpanzees(黑猩猩),
couldnotprovethatanimalscrytearsfromemotion.
B) It’struethatmanyanimalsshedtears,especiallyinresponsetopain.Tearsprotecttheeyebykeepingitmoist.Butcrying
asanexpressionoffeelingisuniquetohumansandhasplayedanessentialroleinhumanevolutionandthedevelopmentof
humancultures.
C) Withintwodaysaninfantcanimitatesadandhappyfaces.Ifaninfantdoesnotcryout,itisunlikelytogettheattentionit
needs to survive. Around 3-4 months, the relationship between the human infant and its environment takes on a more
organized communicative role, and tearful crying begins to serve interpersonal purposes: the search for comfort and
pacification (抚慰).Aswegetolder,cryingbecomesatoolofsocialinteraction:griefandjoy,shameandpride,fearand
manipulation.
D) Tearsareasuniversalaslaughter,andgriefismorecomplexthanjoy.Butalthoughweallcry,wedosoindifferentways.
Womencrymorefrequentlyandintenselythanmen,especiallywhenexposedtoemotionalevents.Likecrying,depression
is,aroundtheworld,morecommonlyseen inwomen thaninmen. Oneexplanationmight bethatwomen,whodespite
decadesofsocialadvancesstillsufferfromeconomicinequality,discrimination(歧视)andevenviolence,mighthavemore
tocryabout.Mennotonlycryforshorterperiodsthanwomen,buttheyalsoarelessinclinedtoexplaintheirtears,usually

deathofalovedoneandinresponsetoamovingreligiousexperience.Theyaremorelikelythanwomentocrywhentheir
coreidentities—asprovidersandprotectors,asfathersandfighters—arequestioned.
E) People who score on personality tests as more sympathetic cry more than those who are more rigid or have more
self-control.Frequencyofcryingvarieswidely:someshedtearsatanynovelormovie,othersonlyahandfuloftimesin
theirlives.Cryinginresponsetostressandconflictinthehome,orafteremotionaltrauma(创伤),lastsmuchlongerthan
tearsinducedbyeverydaysadness—whichinturnlastlongerthantearsofdelightandjoy.
F) Sadness is our primary association with crying, but the fact is that people report feeling happier after crying. Surveys
estimate that 85% of women and 73% of men report feeling better after shedding tears. Surprisingly, crying is more
commonlyassociatedwithminorformsofdepressionthanwithmajordepressioninvolvingsuicidalthoughts.
G) Peoplewidelyreportthatcryingrelievestension,restoresemotionalbalanceandprovides“catharsis,”awashingoutofbad
feelings.Theterm“catharsis”hasreligiousimplicationsofremovingevilandsin;it’snosurprisethatreligiousceremonies
are,aroundtheworld,oneofthemainsettingsforthereleaseoftears.
H) Cryingisanearly universal sign of grief, though somemourners report that,despitegenuinesorrow, they cannot shed
42014年6月大学英语四级考试真题(三)
tears—sometimesevenforyearsaftertheirlovedonehasgone.Unliketoday,whentheprivacyofgriefismorerespected,
the public or ceremonial shedding of tears, at the graveside of a spouse or the funeral of a king or queen, was once
consideredsociallyorevenpoliticallyessential.
I) Cryinghasalso served other socialpurposes. Rousseau wroteinhisConfessionsthatwhileheconsidered tears themost
powerfulexpressionoflove,healsojustlikedtocryovernothing.
J) Theassociationoftearswitharthasancientroots.TheclassicGreektragediesofthefifthcenturyB.C.wereprimarily
celebrations of gods. Tragedies, like poetry and music, were staged religious events. Even then it was recognized that
cryinginresponsetodramabroughtpleasure.
K) Ihavearguedthatthereareneurobiological(神经生物方面的 )associationslinkingtheartsandmooddisorders.WhenI

为了促进教育公平,中国已投入 360 亿元,用于改善农村地区教育设施和加强中西部地区农村义务教育
(compulsoryeducation)。这些资金用于改善教学设施、购买书籍,使16万多所中小学受益。资金还用于购置音乐和
绘画器材。现在农村和山区的儿童可以与沿海城市的儿童一样上音乐和绘画课。一些为接受更好教育而转往城市上学
的学生如今又回到了本地农村学校就读。
