made a lot of money in his business, so they decided to go to london and stay at a really good hotel while they went touring around the famous city .they flew to london and arrived at their hotel late one evening. they expected that they would have to go to bed hungry, because in that small inn in new jersey, no meals were served after seven. they were therefore surprised when the man who received them in the hall asked whether they would take dinner there that night.“ are you still serving dinner? ” asked mr. smith .“ yes, certainly, sir, ” answered the man . “ we serve it until half past nine. ” “ what are the times of meals then ? ” asked mr. smith .“ well, sir ” answered the man, “we serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch from twelve to three in the

my dad tried to cheer (使快活) 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 does crying.whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and crying seems to work well. one 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 more friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we dont even know were 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, dont fight it. its a natural and healthy emotional response.61. why didnt the author cry when her grandmother died?a. because her father did not want her to feel too sad.b.
