Women, because of the availability of such outlets as crying for the expression of emotion, are likely to suffer from fewer psychological disturbances than men.I know of no studies on the expression of the emotions in businesswomen. But the increase in psychological disorders among women in recent years suggests that women in business may be attempting to restrain the normal expression of their emotions. If so, I would say that this is not good.

Women in business who believe that in order to succeed, they must imitate men are barking up the wrong tree.I am not suggesting that every time one runs into a major frustration, one ought to have a good cry. I think this would be silly. Crying should be reserved for the appropriate situation, and that is whenever ones organism indicates the necessity. In this respect the American male has a great deal to learn from the American female whether in business or out of it. In business the emotions that are likely to be called into play tend to be the angry emotions, and crying is not a natural way of expressing such emotions.

Nevertheless, it is agreed by most authorities that crying is a beneficial means of relieving the person of tensions which seek expression in this particular manner. It is far better that the energies which seek release in such emotional expression find an outlet in weeping than that they should be shut up to seek unexpected expression through the bodies.

解析:
Online Chatting, Good or Bad
At present, online chatting seems to become more and more fashionable, especially among students. They spend a large amount of their spare time chatting online, and some even become addictive to it.
Some people hold a positive attitude towards online chatting and consider it a good form of communication. Many students exchange useful knowledge and information, look for on-line friends, and search for some fun. They think that online chatting has made it possible for them to know people from all corners of the world. If their online friend is a foreigner, they can even learn some foreign languages, and appreciate new culture, customs, art, music, food and even historical events.
However, some other people think online chatting, especially online dating, as meaningless and also a waste of time. Especially some teachers and parents often warn their students or children of the danger of meeting Internet lovers. Several cases are reported that the naive girl students at famous universities were killed by their online lovers when they met. In addition, spending too long a time on line will affect the students study and their normal activities.
In my opinion, online chatting has both positive and negative aspects. Although many tragic incidents occur, I still believe that the Internet is a great way to communicate. But for a college student, the disadvantages of online dating always outweigh the advantages. They should arrange their spare time carefully and never neglect their studies.
