5、的情緒中解脫出來，你得讓自己哭。你不必為“哭”而感到羞愧。憂慮和悲傷能隨同眼淚一起流出身體l看一看唐娜的例子吧。她的兒子在一次車禍中不幸去世。這次打擊之大使她欲哭無淚。她說：“直到兩個星期后的一天，我才開始放聲痛哭。然后，我便覺得好像一塊大石頭從我的肩膀上抬走了。是眼淚將我帶回到了現實之中，幫助我度過危機。”Numerous facts bear out the argument/statement/claim that in order to recover speedily from negative emotion, you should allow yourself to cry.

However, bridge building experts told him to forget it. It just was

19、not possible .Roebling nevertheless, convinced his son, Washing, an up-and-coming engineer, that the bridge could be built. The two of them conceived the concept of how it could be accomplished and how to overcome the obstacles .Somehow they convinced bankers to finance the project. They hired their

Washington was severely brain-damaged, under to talk or walk. Everyone thought the project would have to be stopped ,since the Ro
