Compared with staying alone, a person is more likely to laugh when he stays with other people. When someone starts laughing, everyone else laughs too, even if they're not sure why he is laughing.

They are very important for our health because keeping connections with people around can make us healthier and live longer. Those who feel more connected to others have less depression(抑郁），and are better at understanding others. Caspar Addyman, a doctor said babies naturally understood the importance of sharing laughter. “Babies can make you laugh, and you can make them laugh," he said.“It's all about connections.”Laughter means that we are part of a group, and we like to be in a group Actually, spending time with people we care about is the quickest and easiest way to reduce stress and improve our health condition.

Recent research has found social media users aged between 10 and 15 can be divided into four kinds: geeks, Internet celebrities, lurkers and victims. 36 Which kind do you fall into? ●Geeks Geeks are active media users. Most geeks are boys who like making music and videos. 37 They are comfortable in their online lives, but find lives in the real world to be much more difficult to deal with. This can remind “geeks" to try to avoid depending too much on the Internet. ●Internet Celebrities Internet celebrities like sharing as well, but they're much more visible(能注意到的)than geeks. 38 But being teenage Internet celebrities can sometimes cause problems in the real world. They might spend less time studying and more time online. ●Lurkers Most teenagers probably fall into the third kind，“lurkers”. They are neither too active nor visible. 39 The problem for these teenagers is that they may find it difficult to express themselves. But at least, they make sure to protect themselves. ●Victims Victims usually have little knowledge to keep themselves safe online. 40 To avoid being a victim, don't share your private information online，like your birthday，age，the place where you live or your vacation plans. 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A.They often post creative works online.
