Crying is hardly an activity encouraged by society. Tears, be they of sorrow, anger, or joy, typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and【C1】______. The shedder of tears is likely to apologize, even when a devastating (毁灭性的) tragedy was the provocation. The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the【C2】______outpouring.

Vocal cries would have been quite enough, more likely than tears to gain【C7】______. So, it appears, there must be something special about tears themselves.
Indeed, the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct role in alleviating stress. University of Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical composition of tears have recently【C8】______two important chemicals from emotional tears.

Researchers at several other institutions are investigating the usefulness of tears as a means of【C10】______human ills and monitoring drugs.
A. attention B. overwhelming C. inappropriate D. embarrassed
E. diagnosing F. indispensable G. rise H. isolated

M. repelled N. substance O. increasingly
