听力原文: Despite the fact that healthy eating has more publicity than ever before, the sales of chocolate continue to rise.
But why do we like it so much? It's not enough to answer: "Because it tastes nice." So do other foods. But do you know any other food which some people have to keep closed until their guests arrive? They know that if they open the chocolate on their own, they'll probably go on eating until they feel slightly ill. And it isn't just the sugar that people like. In the 17th century, when chocolate first arrived here as a drink, people did not put sugar in it because sugar was too expensive.
"Comfort" is a good word to explain why chocolate is more than just another food. It makes people feel safe.
"After a busy day, I like to sit and listen to the radio with a cup of tea and a bar of chocolate."
One answer is that, like coffee, cola and tea, chocolate contains the stimulants. This could explain why it is so difficult to stop eating chocolate once you've started. Some people even fear that they won't be able to atop, and this makes them literally afraid of chocolate.

听力原文: 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 they can't infect your eye. Give up your tears, and you'll lose this onthespot 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 stuff 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 hap pens. 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 Fred 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 found another ways to deal with it, or maybe we just feel embarrassed.
