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 the 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 friendlier 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 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.

   . Being angry doesn’t really solve much, but what people do when they feel angry is important. The goal is to calm down and try to solve what is bothering you. This is hard for some kids and adults, too. Instead of calming down, some kids might keep getting more and more upset until they explode like a volcano!

.Their anger might be so strong that they lose control of their temper. They may act in ways unacceptable and hurtful. People may say that someone has trouble controlling their temper.        

Some kids might get so angry that they scream at their parents, break something , or even worse, hit their brothers or sisters. . However, it’s not OK for a kid to do any of those things. Kids don’t want to act in this way, but sometimes angry feelings can be hard to manage. So what to do?

Well, the good news is that kids don’t just have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again.   . Imagine your temper as a puppy inside you that needs some training. The puppy is not bad ---- it will probably turn out a great dog. It just needs to learn some rules because, right now, that puppy is causing some problems to you.

When studying in a middle school，I read a quote that went something like：“If you live each day as if it were your last，someday you’ll most certainly be right. ”It made a deep   36  on me, and since then, for the past 33 years，I have  37  in the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life，  3 8  I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a  39  ，I know I need to change something.

    Remembering that I’ll be  40  soon is the most important tool I’ve ever known to help me make the big  41  in life because almost everything falls away in the face of death，  42  only what is truly important.

    About a year ago I was  43  with cancer. My doctor even advised me to go home and get my affairs   44  order，which is a doctor’s way of telling people to prepare to die. I  45  with that diagnosis all day.   46  ，at last an advanced test showed that it was a very rare cancer that is  47  with surgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.

     48  wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all  49  . No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be，because death is very likely the single best invention of  50  . It is life's change agent. It clears out the old to  51  for the new. Right now the new is you. But someday not too  52  from now，you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic，but it is quite true.

    Your time is  53  ，so don’t waste it living someone else’s 1ife. Don’t be  54  by dogma(教條) —which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner  55  . And most importantly，have the courage to follow your heart.

One day I happened to find a chatting room on the              

internet, where people were chatting on English. I tried           

to chat with some of them. To my surprised, I found the           

fact that the oral English of some junior students were better       

than mine. I asked them for an advice and they told me            

to practise more on QQ. What I wish I could speak English         

as good as these fellows! Therefore every day after that I          

would spend one hour practise my oral English on QQ.             

Day by day I learned many good and useful words and 

expression. With time going by , I found that I could                        

even communicate with some college students free.
