【文章內容簡介】 emotions. We cry when we can’t hold inside what we feel any more. We cry when we’re at our best, and when we’re at our worst. By we, I mean all of us men included. But we never see other men cry. In no western culture has it ever been acceptable for men to shed (流淚 ) more than a single tear, and even then it’s 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 over the same things deaths, breakups and homesickness, primarily, but researchers believe that men cry more often than women when it es to positive events. I want to admit， I’m a bit of a cryer. However, having never really experienced deaths in my life, a few weeks ago I experienced what it means to really, truly, pour my heart out in tears. See, my dog a loyal panion 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 (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 there’s a certain pleasure in crying. It helps ease stress when there is no other way to express ourselves. In those days after my dog’s death, I remember thinking, “I’ve got to stop this crying”. It felt unmanly. It felt like a sign of weakness. I’ve since realized that tears are for everybody。 they’re not genderspecific. They show we have sympathy, allow us to get rid of stress and just feel. 12.

When deciding what colleges to apply for, you may feel stressed about what type of campus you want to live and study on. 16 Do you want to know everybody at your school, or are you looking for more of a college town experience where you meet new people every day? 17 Are you looking for a liberal arts (文科 ) school or a more STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) focused college? Maybe you want to attend a school more specific to what you may want to do in the future, like a music or art based school.
