Why do people cry? Scientists say the body produces(产生)tears because it needs them. One kind of tears(眼泪)is for the eye, the other is for the heart. They both work as cleaners. If something else like dust(灰尘)gets into your eye, tears also come into the eye to clean it out. If you are hurt by something,your strong feelings produce some poisonous chemicals(毒素)in your body, and at the same time, tears come out with them. If tears don't help clean out these poisonous chemicals, they will do harm to(伤害)the heart.
In the United States men have heart problems more often than women do. Doctors say heart problems have something to do with the pressures(压力)of living and working now. Perhaps men have more of these illnesses because they do not cry enough. They need to cry more.
In fact,you can find many ways of reducing(减少)the pressures to keep fit. Crying is a natural(自然)and physical(生理)one.
K.L. Rothey, 71, from the United States, a retired lawyer (退休律师)
Rothey has given himself the Chinese name of Luqi or “roadside beggar (乞丐)”. In his eyes, beggars are doing important work—collecting rubbish. What they do is not dirty.
Rothey first visited China in 1984 and soon he became interested in Chinese culture. Married to a Chinese woman, he lived in Huangshi. Many people know him because he often shows up in the street collecting rubbish. “Huangshi is my home so I hope it becomes cleaner and more beautiful,” says Rothey. He has also organized volunteers to collect rubbish in other cities, including Wuhan.
Jill Robinson, 50, from Britain, founder (创立者) and CEO of Animals Asia Foundation.
She has been working for nearly 20 years to stop people from getting the bile (胆汁) from moon bears.She began working for the International Fund for Animal Welfare in Hong Kong in the mid-1980s. A business trip to a bear farm in 1993 changed her life. She saw so many moon bears killed by people. She said she would be back to set them free.
In 1998, she set up the Animal Foundation. In July 2000, the foundation agreed to free 500 farmed moon bears. In 2002, the Moon Bear Rescue (救援) Center was set up in Chengdu.
“As much as we save them, they save us. These bears save us every day and they teach us to be better people,” Robinson says.
