[背景了解]
　　文章取自于2003年9月的閱讀真題，是關于眼淚的文章，選段有些長，希望耐心看下，自己先猜下劃線部分單詞的意思吧
　　[文章部分]
　　Crying is hardly activity encouraged by society. Tears, be they of sorrow, anger, or joy, typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. The shedder of tears is likely to apologize, even when a devastating(毀滅性的） tragedy was the provocation. The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional outpouring. But judging from recent studies of crying behavior, links between illness and crying and the chemical composition of tears, both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive.
