Everyone likes their childhood and wishes to go back there. I also have a wonderful childhood. There are many sweet memories in it, and I want to share some with you.
During my childhood I lived with my family. I had an elder sister and a younger brother, and we used to play a game called "yard sale". It meant "selling" old things like old toys, clothes, books, crayons and so on in the front yard, and we didn't buy them with money. Instead, we
bought them with cards（扑克牌）. We had so much fun.
Like other children, I also played a lot with many toys during my childhood. Children are always crazy about their toys. I owned two cute toy bears in my childhood, and I liked them very much. They felt so soft and comfortable that I fell asleep with them every night. I regarded them as my best friends then and I didn't share them with anyone. Whenever someone touched them, I would cry loudly.
This is my childhood. Do you have any kind of sweet memories like this?

After finishing his dinner, Lin Xu opened a mini-program（小程序）called "Clear Plate" and took a photo of his empty plates. He was then awarded（奖励）some credit points which can be used to buy something or give charity meals to old people and children in need.

The "Clear Plate" mini-program has become popular among young Chinese and now has more than 5 million users. It helps many people develop a good habit in a more interesting way.

I lived with my grandmother in the countryside in the past. But when I was ten years old, my grandmother died. I am the only grandson of my grandmother. I was so sad that I had no tears（眼泪）. But that night when my father tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.
So scientists believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain, just as laughing has many health advantages（优点）, so does crying. A study discovered that 85% of women and 73% of men reported feeling better after crying.
How do tears help people? Tears attract（吸引）help from other people. Researchers （研究者）agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and more friendly and they are more ready to provide comfort. That's why I often find my students feel better after crying with the help of their classmates. Tears also make us understand our friends better. Sometimes we even don't know we're very sad until we cry. We learn about our feelings through crying, and then we can deal with them.
Just crying can be healthy, not crying—holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering—can be bad for physical health. Because too much control of feelings can cause illness. If you have health problems, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's natural and healthy response（反应）.
（1）When did the writer's grandmother die? ______
（2）Does crying have many health advantages? ______
（3）What is the writer's job? ______
（4）Do tears make people understand their friends better? ______
（5）If you often hold back your feelings, why is it bad for your health? ______
