part iv short answer questions are based on passage 4. (20 points, 4 points each) passage 4 why do we cry? can you imagine life without tears? not only do tears keep your eyes lubricated, they also contain a substance that kills certain bacteria so that they can't infect your eyes. give up your tears, and you'll lose this spot defense. nobody wants to give up the flood of extra tears you produce when you get something physical or chemical in your eyes. tears are very good at washing this irritating material out. another thing you couldn't do without your tears is cry from joy, anger or sadness. humans are the only animals that produce tears in response to emotions, and most people say a good cry makes them feel better. many scientists, therefore, believe that crying somehow helps us cope with emotional situations. tear researcher, winifred, is trying to figure out how it happens. one possibility he says is that tears discharge certain chemicals from your body, chemicals that build up during stress. when people talk about crying it out, "i think that might actually be what they are doing", he says. if winifred is right, what do you think will happen to people who restrain their tears? boys, for example, cry only about a quarter as often as girls once they reach teenage years, and we all cry a lot less now than we did as babies. could it possibly be that we face less stress? maybe we've found other ways to deal with it, or maybe we just feel.read passage 4 and then choose the right answers to questions. what are the functions of tears, according to the passage?

tears not only keep your eyes lubricated, but also contain a substance that kills certain bacteria so that they can't infect your eyes.

part iv short answer questions are based on passage 4. (20 points, 4 points each) passage 4 why do we cry? can you imagine life without tears? not only do tears keep your eyes lubricated, they also contain a substance that kills certain bacteria so that they can't infect your eyes. give up your tears, and you'll lose this spot defense. nobody wants to give up the flood of extra tears you produce when you get something physical or chemical in your eyes. tears are very good at washing this irritating material out. another thing you couldn't do without your tears is cry from joy, anger or sadness. humans are the only animals that produce tears in response to emotions, and most people say a good cry makes them feel better. many scientists, therefore, believe that crying somehow helps us cope with emotional situations. tear researcher, winifred, is trying to figure out how it happens. one possibility he says is that tears discharge certain chemicals from your body, chemicals that build up during stress. when people talk about crying it out, "i think that might actually be what they are doing", he says. if winifred is right, what do you think will happen to people who restrain their tears? boys, for example, cry only about a quarter as often as girls once they reach teenage years, and we all cry a lot less now than we did as babies. could it possibly be that we face less stress? maybe we've found other ways to deal with it, or maybe we just feel.read passage 4 and then choose the right answers to questions. what are the functions of tears, according to the passage?

tears not only keep your eyes lubricated, but also contain a substance that kills certain bacteria so that they can't infect your eyes.
