Scientists have been studying why people cry. They say the body produces two kinds of tears. One kind cleans out the eye if it gets dirty things in it. But when people cry because of their feelings, these tears have poisonous (有毒的) chemicals (化学物质) in them. The body is getting rid of chemicals produced by strong feelings. In the United States men have hearts diseases more often than women do. Doctors say heart disease and some other diseases have something to do with the pressure (压力).
