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 shedthemmorequietly,andtendmorefrequentlytoapologizewhentheycryopenly.Men,likewomen,reportcryingatthe 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.

PassageTwo Questions61to65arebasedonthefollowingpassage.

ButdoMillennialsrespondtotheseeconomictroublesbydoingwhateverittakestomakeendsmeet?Hardly.Infact,of thefourgenerationsPewResearchhasdatafor,theMilennialgenerationdoesnotciteworkethic(勤奋工作)as distinctive of itself.Millennialswanttosavetheworld,buttheysitandwaitforthatworld-changingopportunitytobehandedtothem.Instead ofworking2-3jobs,launchingabusiness,ordoingwhatittakestosucceed,theyretreat.Millennialsmaybethefirstgeneration tohavealowerstandardoflivingthantheirparents,butwiththisresponsetoadversity(逆境), perhapsdeservinglyso. Muchinkhasbeenspilledinmanagementbooksdiscussinghowtoget themostoutoftheseyouthsintheworkplace.
