2、ver see other men cry. In no western culture has it ever been acceptable for men to shed (流泪) more than a single tear, and even then its reserved for grand victories, defeats and deaths. Dutch research suggests that women cry between three and five times more than men. Generally men and women cry ov

3、er the same things deaths, breakups and homesickness, primarily, but researchers believe that men cry more often than women when it comes to positive events.I want to admit Im a bit of a cryer. However, having never really experienced deaths in my life, a few weeks ago I experienced what it means to

4、 really, truly, pour my heart out in tears.See, my dog and 24/7 companion was killed by a car right outside my house. Being a witness to this painful event left me in shock for a good hour, but then the floodgates opened. Over the next 48 hours, I might have cried 20 times. Once or twice I crouched

5、(蹲) on the floor with my head in my hands and tears were the only outlet.It is suggested in the book Adult Crying：A Biopsychosocial Approach that theres certain pleasure in crying. It helps ease stress when there is no other way to express ourselves.In those days after my dogs death, I remember thin

6、king, “Ive got to stop this crying”. It felt unmanly. It felt like a sign of weakness. Ive since realised that tears are for everybody; theyre not genderspecific.

10、eir research, Kappelman and Dr. Richard Ketcham used a CT scanner to create more than 35,000 “slices” of Lucys skeleton. Scientists named her Lucy from the Beatles song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”, which was played at the camp the night of her discovery.The following analysis of the slices showe

11、d sharp, clean breaks seen at the end of Lucys right humerus (肱骨) are similar to bone breaks seen in victims of - 3 -falls.The researchers concluded that these and other breaks in her skeleton show that Lucy, who is believed to have stood about 3 feet 6 inches and weighed about 60 pounds, fell feet

12、first and used her arms to support herself but the injury was too severe to have been survivable.The researchers estimate that Lucy was going about 35 miles an hour when she hit the ground after falling from a height of roughly 40 feet, according to the statement.That sounds plausible. But other sci

13、entists are doubtful. “There are countless explanations for bone breaks,”Dr. Donald C. Johanson , director of the Institute of Human Origins and one of the scientists who discovered Lucy, said, “The suggestion that she fell out of a tree is largely a just-so story and therefore unprovable.”Johanson

14、said it was more likely that Lucys breaks occurred long after she died, saying that elephant bones appear to have the same kind of breaks. Its unlikely they fell out of a tree.But the new research focused on a small number of breaks that are consistent with high-energy bone-to-bone influences and wh

18、ished study was meaningless.C. Scientists will find another way to solve the problem.D. The argument on how Lucy died will continue.C CBring any group of business owners or managers together, ask them the best way to promote their organizations, and youll get different answers. That comes as no surp

19、rise. When it comes to promoting a business, trying to find the single choice is rarely wise. Youll see business owners and managers try radio advertising. When that doesnt produce the results they want, theyll change to sending direct mail. When that doesnt create a jump in sales, theyll buy TV com

20、mercials. When that falls short of their expectations, theyll try a new online strategy.and it goes on and on.For most companies, the best approach is a mix of different channels, organized in ways that allow each to build upon the others. The channel that will work best in a given situation depends

21、 on a lot of factors, including the company itself, its audience, the message being conveyed, the environment, and many more.Just that radio worked well for a companys last effort doesnt mean that TV advertising wouldnt be a better choice this time. Or maybe the right channel is direct mail. Theres

22、no simple answer，because there are so many variables. If your audience is broad, then maybe radio or newspaper advertising is the right choice. If youre targeting a carefully defined group, such as former customers, direct mail or email will probably perform better.There are two important lessons he
