men are encouraged to cry. there are certain things british men like to believe about themselves. the first is that one day they will again win the world cup. they also believe they do not cry. over the centuries, britons are believed to have a “stiff upper lip”. but is this true? yes, it is. a recent study arranged by kleenex on how the british express their emotions reveals that 95 percent of them still contain their emotions. moreover, while 72 percent think this is unhealthy, 19 percent cant remember the last time they “let it out”. as a result, kleenex is launching the “let it out” campaign that encourages britons to grab a tissue and have a good cry. these days, however, the male britons attitude toward crying is changing. though the majority still struggles to open up emotionally, a 2004 study by oxfords social issues research center found that 77 percent of british men considered crying in public increasingly acceptable. half of london males admitted crying in front of their mothers. scotsmen are the least emotional, although they are the most likely to cry at weddings. peter marsh, director of the center, said: “crying can now indicate sensitivity rather than weakness. like with david beckham, crying because youre dropping off your boy at nursery isnt seen as weak.”winston churchill was said to be a frequent crier, shedding tears at seeing a survivor in an air raid shelter (防空洞), and when he saw his wife after a long absence. psychologists say that while society has accepted that men can cry, there are limits. ronald bracey, a consulting psychologist, said: “if a man began to cry when he was having stitches (缝针)in hospital, he would be considered as a wimp(软弱的人). men still need to be seen as strong when it comes to physical pain.”1. what does the passage mainly deal with? a. impression of british men. b. british mens dream of the world cup. c. advice on how to control emotions. d. different attitudes british men have towards crying. 2. which of the following concerning the british men is not true according to the passage? a. they are supposed to easily control emotions over the centuries. b. they are confident that they will again get successful in the world cup. c. about 50% of british men admitted crying before their mothers. d. nowadays, the male britons attitude toward crying is changing. 3. the word “contain”in paragraph 4 means_.a. storeb. hold back c. include d. stir up4. what does the author think of the british mens crying? a. they should cry if hurt. b. they should keep firm not to cry to show they are not wimps. c. they should be brave in face of physical pain and cry if necessary when facing other problems. d. they should “let it out”whatever problems they meet with.【参考答案】14、dcbc
