Oh, a pity! It’s raining again? Is everybody here? Good. Now listen carefully. I wish the weather is better here for you. It’s very usual to have so and so much snow and rain here at this time of year.
Some of you are asking about tomorrow’s activity on the way here. Well, we’re going to climb the mountain unless the weather gets much better during the night. OK? So, provided that it doesn’t snow too heavy tonight, I’ll see you back here at six o’clock. Set your alarms for 5:30. We’ll take our breakfast with them because we won’t reach the top of the mountain unless we set out early, before it’s light. So be there tomorrow morning with everything you need. You’ve all got a list—you need a whistle in case you get separated from the rest of the group, warm waterproof clothing and gloves, and a good pair of boots. Don’t forget to bring maps I gave you yesterday. I’d rather you didn’t bring large cameras and video cameras.
It’s time we had dinner now, so if that anyone has any questions, you can ask me on the way to the dining hall. Let’s go.

I felt like a good mother on that summer morning. I’d______up early, made a picnic lunch,______my three-and five-year-old daughters into the car, drove to my friend’s house, packed her and her______into the car, and drove an hour and a half to the shore where we________ our picnic cloth on the sands by 10 a.m.
Soon the girls began running. About 50 yards from us, a man, maybe______ his late 50s, was fishing. The girls stood next to him and watched with their mouths open______he cast the lines. He smiled at them. They all ran back to us except my three-year-old Drew, who,______ , just seated herself next to the white bucket where the man was______ planning to put the fish he caught.
However, suddenly a______came to my mind. Is it dangerous for Drew to stay there with the stranger? Good moms should also teach daughters that the world is dangerous. Then, I watched them like there was a hidden______in the lifeguard chair filming the man as America’s Most Wanted. Every few minutes, I looked to my five-year-old to make sure she hadn’t been______ out to sea, then back to Drew to make sure there was no______between her and the stranger.
When I looked at Drew again, she had started______with the man. She was probably telling him where we lived and how her father was away on______. He nodded. She kept talking. He nodded again, then they laughed.

Just when I was at a loss, there he was: the man, standing right next to us. He was holding three more toy fish. He handed them to each of the girls. By their______ , I realized that he was______ a warm-hearted man, meaning no harm at all.

The Value of Tears
Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. Tears leave you embarrassed and without energy. Still, crying is a fact of life, and your tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, they make a film over the eye’s surface.1.
When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions, afraid that once they lose control they’ll never get it back.”2. After we cry, the feelings that caused the tears often disappear.
Sometimes people become much stressed and can’t cry. Whatever emotion they are feeling—shock, anger, fear, or sadness—is being held back.
But everyone has the need to cry. Psychologist Vera Diamond explains that her treatment often consists of giving people permission to cry. 3.Patients practice crying just to become used to expressing emotions. She suggests safe, private places to cry, like under the bedcovers or in the car. Crying is a way of reducing tension, but people don’t like it when others cry because it makes them tense.4. And they’ll do just about anything to make you stop.
In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. It’s good not to cry during a tense business discussion.5.You should also 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 your tears have taken away the stress, you can begin to think calmly of ways to deal with the problem.”
Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. If you find yourself near someone crying, deal with it. And never be afraid to cry yourself.
A. They too may be holding back a need to cry.
B. They cry for different reasons.
C. She gives crying exercises.
D. It contains a chemical against infection.
E. The fact is that no emotion lasts forever.
F. It forms in response to the stress on the surface of the eye.
G. But once you’re safely behind closed doors, don’t just cry.
