? ?There seem to be two main reasons that
women cry more often. One is biological. Up to age 12, boys and girls cry
equally often. From then until age 18, the level of the hormone prolactin(催乳激素)
rises in young women, until their blood contains 60 per-cent more than men’ s.
And prolactin affects the production of tears.
? ?On the
sociological side, men in particular are conditioned out of crying. From the age
of 12 or 13, boys are told that crying shows a loss of control, that it is a
sign of weakness. If men step outside the norm and show their feelings in the
workplace, they run the risk of getting labels attached that are not
complimentary.
? ?Researches on conversations show that women are
more likely to talk about feelings, men about activities. This is a reflection
of our socialization. Also, men are more likely to express their opinions. It
gives rise to women feeling enormous frustration about getting their views
across. When women are crying at work, it’s often out of sheer frustration,
about not being able to get their needs identified, known, put across, and
getting a response to them…There is a sense of "I’m not being taken seriously."
The trouble is, if a woman cries in this situation, men are likely to say,
"She’s far too emotional." There are, though, a couple of arenas(活动场所) in which
it seems to be acceptable for men to be emotional: sports and especially more
recently, politics. An essay in Times magazine once reported on timely tears
from former Presidents George Bush and Richard Nixon. The Times essay says 1988
presidential candidate Patricia Schroeder’ s tears led some to describe her as
"just another weak woman, temperamentally unfitted for the presidency". It
concludes: "Men may weep, but women must prove them- selves made of sterner
stuff." |

The Value of tears
Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. They can leave you embarrassed and without energy. However, crying is a fact of life, and tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, your eyes produce tears. These create a film over the eye’s surface. This film contains a substance that protects your eyes against infection.
Tears relieve stress, but we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. "People worry about showing their emotions. They’re afraid that once they lose control, they’ll never get it back." explains psychologist Dorothy Rowe. "As children we were sometimes punished for shedding tears or expressing anger. As adults we still fear the consequences of showing emotions."
Almost any emotion—good or bad, happy or sad—can cause tears. Crying is a way that we release built-up emotions. Tears help you when you feel you are ready to explode because of very strong feelings. It may explain why people who are afraid to cry often suffer more heart attacks than people who cry more freely.
When some people become very stressed, however, they can’t cry. They may be feeling shock, anger, fear, or grief, but they repress（抑制）the emotion. "Everyone has the need to cry," says psychotherapist（精神治疗师）Vera Diamond. Sometimes in therapy sessions, patients participate in crying exercises. They practice crying so that they can get used to expressing emotion. Diamond says it’s best to cry in safe, private places, like under the bedcovers or in the car. That’s because many people get uncomfortable when others cry in front of them. In fact, they may be repressing their own need to cry.
In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. It’s good to hold back tears during a tense business discussion. "But once you are safely behind closed doors,don’t just cry," Diamond says. She suggests that you act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better. "And," she adds, "once our tears have released the stress, you can begin to think of logical ways to deal problem."
Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. You should never be afraid to cry.What is the main idea of this passage?
A:How to release your stress. B:Ways to repress your emotion in public. C:How to fight tears in a business situation. D:Importance and necessity of crying.
