10、aws for tourists; despite its fame and uniquity in postcards across the world, it rarely fails to attract tourists at the first proper sight.Yet the authorities open only certain sections of the wall as fit for viewing, an- d few get to visit the unauthorized sections.Fewer still are aware of the ex

11、istence of at least one part of the Wall that remains in almost original condition, nearly 1,500 years after construction of legendary fortification began. But theres a good reason for this its underwater. American journalist Steven Schwankert has been diving since age 10. It was through his setting

12、 up of a diving school that Schwankert came to explore some of lesser known areas of Chinas lakes and discovered the underwater Wall under a reservoir.“The most fascinating piece of diving I ever did in China must be the Great Wall. I managed to find out about it via the Internet. It wasnt difficult

13、 to get to Pan Jiakou in Hebei Province, near the East Qing Tomb about 4 hours drive from Beijing. Why do I want to dive the Great Wall? Why do people want to walk on the Great Wall? Its the same answer.”There are, however, advantages of visiting the Great Wall in a diving suit over being on foot. T

14、he water acts as a preservative by preventing the kind of mass tourism that has brought trouble on other parts of the Wall. “Unlike the people who walk in the Wall, we as divers never need to actually touch it. Ive dived twice there, the last time in July. I found that the water then was much deeper

15、 than it was before 13 meters deep.” When he first dived, parts of the Wall were visible above the surface. Now even the guard tower is completely submerged. “Its better that the Wall is deep under water, as there are lots of boats coming in and out around that area. Their wave action could potentia

16、lly damage the brickwork.

19、 is thought that crying is hardly an activity encouraged by society. Tear, whether they are of sorrow, anger, or joy, typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. The shedder of tears (落泪者) is likely to apologize, even when a greattragedy was the cause. The observer of tears is likel

20、y to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional tears. But judging from recent studies of crying behavior, both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive (适得其反).Humans are the only animals clearly known to shed emotional tears. Since evolution has

21、given rise to few purposeless physiological responses, it is logical to assume that crying has one or more functions that enhance (increase) survival.Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to ask for assistance from others (as a crying baby might from its mother), the shedding o

22、f tears is hardly necessary to get help. Vocal cries would have been quite enough, more likely than tears to gain attention. 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, Unive

23、rsity of Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical composition of tears have recently isolated two important chemicals from emotional tears. Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to emotion. Tears shed because of exposure to cut onion would contain no such substa

24、nce.Other researchers are investigating the usefulness of tears as a means of diagnosing human ills and monitoring drugs. At Tulane Universitys Teat Analysis Laboratory Dr. Peter Kastl and his colleagues report that they can use tears to detect drug abuse, to study the causes of “dry eye” syndrome（综合症）and the effects of eye surgery, and perhaps even to measure exposure to environmental pollu
