We know that animals also experience emotion fear, pleasure, loneliness, but they do not shed (流) tears.Biologically speaking, tears are actually drops of saline fluid, which is a little bit salty, produced by a glan
26、d (腺) in the body. Because salt is an important component, tears may actually provide the most important evidence that the human animal is the end product of a long evolutionary process(进化过程) that began in the sea.And it is clear that, in addition to the emotional benefits, the shedding of tears has
27、 a specific biological function as well. Through tears, we can eliminate from our body certain chemicals which build up in response to stress 5and create a chemical imbalance in the body. Crying actually makes us feel better by correcting that imbalance and making us feel good again. And thus the em

41、em seem like something out of a magic book. Theyre known as the black box.When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India Ocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine(潜水艇) detected th
42、e devices signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the
43、first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial 7flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the box was completely redesigned and moved to the back of the plane-the area least affected by impact-from its original position in the
44、 landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to be discovered more easily.Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots(飞行员) conversations, and a flight-data r
45、ecorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircrafts final moments. Placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand huge force and temperatures up
46、 to 2,000F. When in deep water, theyre also able to send signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, but researchers say theyre still likely to turn up. In the nearly 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one planes black boxes were never recovered.66. What does the author say about the black box?A. It make sure of the normal performances of an a
