AAs M rs. Thompson stood in front of her 5 grade class on the first day of school, she told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.But that was impossible, because there in the front row, was a little boy named Teddy. Mrs. Thompson noticed that he didn't play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. And Teddy could be unpleasant.However, when she reviewed his file, she got a surprise.Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners…, he is a joy to be around ." His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle."His third grade teacher wrote, " His mother's death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best but his father doesn't show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren't taken."Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn't show much interest in school. He doesn't have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class."Now, Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself and felt worse when her studentsbrought her Christmas presents. Teddy's present, however, was wrapped in rough grocery paper. Taking her time she opened it to reveal Teddy's gifts, a bracelet with stones and a quarter full perfume bottle.

But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laughs turned into crying. So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing are controlled by the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many healthadvantages, scientists are discovering that so does crying.Whatever helps us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional 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 friendlier and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we're 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 1ead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illness. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural, healthy and emotional response.4. Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?A.

"Most people don't seem to mind Tom," says Catherine, who thinks he is wonderful. "He's my fourth child," she says. She may think of him and treat him that way as her son. He moves around buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Tom is a dog.Catherine and Tom live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money.People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so aren't surprised to find that owning a dog means yet more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to offer health and even life premium for their dog.In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.8.

Pottery was so importa nt to the early culture that scientistsnow study it to learn more about ancient civilizations. The more advanced the potteryin terms of pictures, materials and making, the more advanced the culture itself.The artisan who makes pottery in North America today use his or her skill and imagination to create items that are beautiful as well as useful, turning something ordinary into something special. The potter uses one of the Earth's most basic materials, clay. Clay can be found almost anywhere. Good pottery clay must be freefrom all small stones and other hard materials that would make the potting steps difficult. Most North Americ an artisan potters now buy ready-made clay in stores,but some find the clay they need right in the earth, close to where they work.The most important tools potters use are their own hands; howeve r, they alsouse wooden modeling tools, plain wire（光面钢丝）, and sponges（海绵）. Plain wire is used to cut away the finished pot from its vase on the potter's wheel.After a finished pot is dried of all its wet part in the open air, it is placed in a kiln(窑炉) and fired. The first firing hardens the pottery, arid（干燥的） it is then ready to be glazed（上釉） and fired again.For areas where they do not want any glaze, such as the bottom of the pot, artisans paint on melted wax that will later bum off in the kiln.
