[1] “Daddy, you're crying,” say my sons. “No, boys, I'm man-crying. Very useful skill.”

[2] A short walk from my house in Hampshire, on a hill overlooking the heathland，is a plaque marking the spot where Richard Pryce Jones deliberately crashed his Halifax bomber during the war. ① He could have parachuted to safety, but that would have meant crashing into the village. The epitaph reads: “He died that others might live.”

[3] It never fails to move me. Not to tears, you understand. That would be disrespectful. But I do usually manage a lump in the throat and that film of moisture over the eyes that men have in their emotional armoury. ②Gordon Brown demonstrated the non-crying cry beautifully when he made his farewell speech on the steps of Number 10. That catch in the throat. The determination not to weep in public． At that moment, if at no other，he had nobility.

[4] Not everyone can carry it off. I don't think Paul Gascoigne ever quite got the hang of it, for example．But I like to think I have it down to an art. My technique honed from years of watching The Railway Children，Sleepless in Seattle and that scene in Dumbo when the mother elephant is locked away. “Daddy!” my sons will say, pointing the accusing finger. “You're crying!”

[5] “Me? Over Dumbo? Ha ha ha. No, boys, what I am doing is man-crying, a sort of non-crying cry. I'll teach you it one day. Very useful.”

[6] They are too young to appreciate the nuance yet, but when they are older I will explain that open sobbing is associated with being female, and so inappropriate for men. ③ The Charlie Chaplin analogy might be useful here. He once said that the way to act drunk is to imagine yourself a drunk man trying to act sober. The same is true when a man learns the non-crying cry. To be convincing, you must look as if you are trying to avoid tears.

[7] Men have to be careful what they cry at, because some subjects are more worthy of tears than others．Grief, obviously. But not self-pity. And rarely should a man cry in pain. And never at the death of a princess he didn't know. Those are the rules.

[8] I suspect my colleague Matt Pritchett might be with me on this. One of his cartoons showed a father next to a television tuned to the World Cup, explaining to his children that “at some point in the next few weeks, you are going to see me cry”.④ And the day after the last survivor of the Great Escape died, he did a cartoon showing a gravestone with a mound of tunnelled earth trailing away from it. I seemed to have something in my eye when I saw that, and I expect he had the same something in his eye when he drew it.

第 91 题 Richard Pryce Jones didn't parachute because __________．

[A] he was not allowed to do so

[B] he wanted to save his plane [C] he was afraid of parachute jump

Take to the Hills!

The rider galloped at top speed down the hill and on into the valley, through the pouring rain. "The dam is going!" A few residents of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, took the rider's advice —and lived. Thousands of people, however, either never got the rider's message or chose to disregard it. Many of those who didn't heed the warning paid with their lives.

The citizens of Johnstown in 1889 had good reason for ignoring the advice. Once a year the old South Fork Dam seemed about to burst. The cry, "Take to the hills." had become an annual false alarm.

This time, however, the rider's warning should have been taken in earnest. The rider was John G. Parke, a civil engineer who was in charge of the dam.

The Great South Fork Dam was a huge earthen dike holding back the waters of an artificial lake. The dam had been constructed without any stone or cement. It had been built by piling up layer upon layer of soil, until the dam was 100 feet high. It was 90 feet wide at its base.

The dam had passed through the hands of a series of owners. In recent years the dam and the lake behind it had been bought by a group of millionaires. The millionaires called themselves the Great South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club. They spent thousands of dollars stocking the lake with fish. They also added screens to prevent the fish from getting out through the dam's drainage holes.

Fishing was good, and the lake had never been higher than that spring of 1889. May had been an unusually rainy month. The streets in the lower parts of Johnstown were already flooded with six feet of water. Behind the dam, the lake had been rising at the rate of one foot per hour. The owners of the fishing club sent workers to pile more dirt on top of the dam to keep it from overflowing. The owners also ordered the workers to remove the screens, which had become jammed with fish, sticks, and other debris. The workers tried hard to clear the jam, but John Parke's trained engineer's eye could see that their efforts would be useless. Parke saddled a horse and began his ride through the valley warning people of the arriving floodwater.

The rain continued to pour. At noon, the water washed over the top of the dam. Almost immediately a big notch developed in the top of the dike. Then, according to witnesses, the whole dam simply disappeared. One minute there was a dam, and the next minute —nothing. The lake moved into the valley like a living thing. In little more than half an hour, the dam emptied completely, sending 45 billion gallons of water down the valley toward Johnstown. A wave of water reaching 125 feet high raced toward the city, leaping forward at the rate of 22 feet per second.

The huge wall of water approached East Conemaugh, a suburb of Johnstown. As it did, railroad engineer John Hess looked up from the string of freight cars his locomotive was pushing. He saw the water bearing down on him, now moving at 50 miles per hour. Hess moved the locomotive's throttle to wide open. Still pushing a string of freight cars before him, he raced the advancing flood into East Conemaugh. Hess tied down the locomotive's whistle, and its screaming blast preceded the train into the village. Johnstown was a railroad city. People in the whole Johnstown area knew that a tied-down whistle could only mean a disaster. And the already flooded streets told them what kind of disaster it was. Many people who had ignored earlier warnings now headed for the hills. Unable to reach the center of Johnstown, railroader Hess jumped from the locomotive cab in East Conemaugh, ran into his house, and roused his family. The Hesses made their way up the side of a hill just before the flood hit the village.

As the great tumbling hill of water roared on toward the center of Johnstown, it ran into the East Conemaugh rail yard. In the yard was a roundhouse (机车库) contain
