　　The Guidance Department(教導(dǎo)處) at Berryville High School has a staff of eleven teachers. Most of their work is done with the students. But the staff sees a lot of parents, too.

　　“Parents meetings make clear monthly diagram,” says Mildred Foreman, head of the Guidance. “This diagram stays much the same from year to year. The busy months are October, March and May.”

　　September, the beginning of a new school year, starts rather slowly. Few parents come in. Most of these want to talk about the schedules. October brings many problems caused by some students. Some parents are called in. Others come by themselves. Things quiet down in November. December is a quiet month. “It's the holiday.” Ms Foreman says. “People want to come in, I know, but they decide to wait until after New Year's Day.”

　　Report cards go home just before Christmas holidays. Bad marks bring parents in as school opens again: This happens again in March, another report card month. May is always the year's busiest month. That's when parents begin to think that their children may be asked to stay in the same grade again. They come in to see if anything can be done before things are decided in June.

　　People cry when they feel very sad. They cry when something terrible happens, like a death in the family. They cry when they feel very sad or very angry, they cry when they know they cannot do anything about a problem, and they feel helpless.

　　They also cry when they feel very good. They cry when they have been very worried about something but find out everything is all right. They cry when something wonderful happens.

　　In the United States until lately, men were not supposed to cry. Crying was weak and only for women. Men were supposed to be strong. But things are changing. Men are beginning to realize that it is all right to show their feelings. Women are learning that sometimes they can do something about a problem instead of just crying. They try not to cry in a public place or in front of a frightened child.

　　Chemists have been studying why people cry. They say the body produces two kinds of tears. One kind cleaned out the eye if it gets dirt in it. But when people cry because of their feelings, these tears have poison chemicals in them. The body is getting rid of chemicals produced by strong feeling.

　　In the United States men have heart disease more often than women do. Doctors say heart disease and some other are connected with the pressures of living and working in a modern society. Perhaps men suffer more from these disease because they do not cry enough. And it is possible that as more and more women work outside the home, they will also suffer from more pressures. Then everyone will need to cry more.

[　　]

A．when they feel good

　　The cinema was in darkness when we went in and it was no easy job making our way to our seats. An old man was walking in front of us. He was luckier as he had a stick to help him find his way, just like a blind man.

　　“It's funny not to have any lights on before the film starts,” I said.

　　“And no music, either,” added my wife, “Well, perhaps they want to save electricity.”

　　We were in one of the rows near the entrance when we heard other people pass by. But we could not tell how many people were at the cinema. It was not crowded at that time of the day.

　　“It must be two o'clock already,” my wife said, getting restless. “Can you see your watch?”

　　My eyes had now got used to the darkness, and by bringing my watch close to my eyes, I could just make out that it was a little after two.

　　Just then the film started, but we were disappointed to find that there had been a change. It was not the film we wanted to see. They were showing an old film. My wife and I had seen it three times in the past two months!

　　Mr. and Mrs. Stokes were sitting in the garden of their London home when I arrived to interview them and their fourteen-year-old son Carl. But Carl was working upstairs. “He doesn't often leave his room,” his mother explained.

　　At the moment Carl is working on a programme for a new computer game. Computers have become his whole life.

A snake is a strange animal. It walks on its ribs(肋骨) and it smells with its tongue. Since its teeth are sharp like needles and not good for chewing, it swallows its food whole. The snake's jaws can stretch a great deal. Its body, too, can stretch to several times its normal size. So even a small snake can easily swallow a mouse whole, and a snake just an inch across can gulp(吞) down a young bird three inches across. Such a large meal might last the snake for months. In fact, some snakes have been known to go without eating for as long as two years.
