单选题
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文]15-17
In a great number of Western, as well as Eastern societies, many adults have been taught not to cry, or have even forgotten how. This is very unfortunate, because, although it may have been necessary at one point to learn to hold back one's tears, the ability to cry is actually very human. It is a natural thing, and one of the special ways nature has given us to cure ourselves of the hurts we receive in the course of living.
If crying is helpful in the curing of physical ills, we can easily imagine the importance of tears and the ability to cry in the curing of emotion ills, and in helping people who are emotional well-being as well. You may have observed this in your personal life. For example, many times after a good cry, we can think more clearly or feel more lighthearted or sleep more easily, because some kind of load has been lifted from within.
