Tears can ruin make-up, bring
conversation a stop, and give you a runny nose.
They leave
you ____50____ and without
energy. ___51___ , crying is a fact of life, and
your tears are very
useful. Even when
you are not crying, they make a film over the
eye
’
s surface, which
contains a
substance that protects your

When

fall,
they
relieve

for
all
sorts
of
reasons.
“

their
emotions,
___52____
that
once
they
lose
control
they
will
never

”
explains
psychologist
Dorothy
Rowe.
“
As
children
we
might
have
been
punished
for
shedding
tears
or
expressing
anger;
as
adults
we
still
fear
the
consequence
of
showing __53___. The fact is :

Almost
any emotion---good or bad, happy or sad---can

mechanism
for

emotions.
Tears

are
ready

anger, fear or
grief---is being ___58___.
“
Everyone
is
___59___
crying,
”
says
psychotherapist
Vera
Dimond.
She
explains
that
therapy
often
consists
of
giving

permission
to
cry.
She
even
gives
crying
exercises,
in
which

used
to
expressing
emotion.
She
suggests
safe,
___60___
places

under

Crying
is
a
way
of
relieving

’
t like it when others

be
holding back a need to cry, and
they

It
is
a
well
known
fact
that
those
who
suffer
from
stress
at
work
are
often
unskilled
workers
doing
uninteresting
，
repetitive
jobs
，
especially those on
production lines
．
Many of
them have
already
turned
to
medicines
to
fight
against
sleeplessness
and
fear
about
the
future
，
two
ofthe
signs of long term
stress and depression
．
In
Britain
，
people spend 650
million pounds a year on
different
kinds
ofmedicines
．
About
one
third
ofthis
iS
spent
on
those
medicines
dealing
with
stress and stress and depression.
People take three million sleeping tablets every
night
．
Although
these
“
drugs of
the mind
”
can be extremely
useful in cases of
crisis
，
most patients would
be better
off without
them
．
There
are
many
causes
of
stress
：
uninteresting
work
，
unemployment
，
poor
housin9
，
familyproblem
s,overcrowding
and
financial
worry
are
all
important
factors
．
Nevertheless
，
doc
tors believe that if people learnt to breathe
properly
，
took more
exercise
，
used their leisure
time more actively and expressed their
anger instead of holding it
in
，
they would not depend SO
much on
drugs
，
which treat ou!y the
outward shags and not the cause of the
stress
．
If doctors
refused prescriptions more often and
discouraged patients with minor illnesses from
visiting the
doctors
，
the
country would have more money to spend on
improving leisure facilities and adult
education
，
which
are
at
present
inadequate
in
many
parts
of
the
country
．
Moreover
，
doctors
would have more time to spend on those
patients in real need of their help.

Directions:
Read the passage
carefully. Then answer the questions or complete
the statements in
the fewest possible
words.
According to a recent
survey, employees in many companies today work
longer hours than
employees did in
1979. They also take shorter vacations than
employees in 1979. It seems that
Americans are working harder today than
ever before. Or are they? A management consultant,
Bill
Meyer, decided to find
out.
For three days, he
observed an investment banker hard at work. Meyer
wrote down everything
the banker did
during his long workday. At the end of the three-
day period, Meyer reviewed the
banker's
activities
with
him.
What
did
they
find
out?
They
discovered
that
the
man
spent
80
percent
of
his
time
doing
unnecessary
work.
For
example,
he
attended
unnecessary
meetings,
made
redundant

telephone
calls,

time
packing
