Many people believe that there is some truth in the saying "Laughter is the best medicine." 36 Laughter helps relieve pain, strengthen the immune system and reduce stress. Laughter stimulates(刺激)hormones which make us feel happy. Laughter also increases the flow of blood throughout the body and has benefits which are similar to the ones you get by doing exercise.
37 Children exposed to funny films and cartoons before major medical procedures are able to cope better with pain and anxiety. 38 These are professional clowns who are sent to hospitals and wards to entertain and distract sick children.
Laughter therapy has become very popular in recent years and as a result, more and more laughter clubs are starting to open up in cities and towns all over the world. At a laughter session, a trained therapist instructs the group to perform a series of exercises which are designed to produce laughter. 39 And it takes them some time to get rid of their inhibitions(拘谨). They might even start off with fake laughter, but this doesn’t matter because our bodies can’t tell the difference, and the results are the same. Moreover,laughter is contagious(有感染力的). 40
So next time you feel ill, stressed out or depressed, try watching a funny film or try remembering an amusing incident in your life. You will soon feel better.
A. If one person starts giggling, it is unavoidable that everyone else will be drawn in.
B. Laughter helps you focus.
C. This finding has led to so-called clown doctors.
D. In fact, research done by scientists has shown that laughter has a lot of health benefits.

The person who bought the house or moved is the one who throws the party.The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on the new home. 36 And it is a good time to fill the new space with love and hopefully presents.

Some common things people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and things like curtains. Even if there isn’t a registry, a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with, like a piece of art or a plant.
38 This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn’t a lot of food served.There are usually no planned activities like games at a housewarming party.The host or hostess of the party will, however, probably give all the guests a tour of their new home. Sometimes, because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into their new home, people may be asked to help unpack boxes. 39

A. This isn’t usual though.

In this article, we want to present why nature conservation and the promotion of sustainable development principles are important.
Environmental protection prevents natural disasters. Nature struggles for balance. This is how forests absorb CO2, grow and change it into oxygen. This provides an opportunity for life and also slows down climate change. The destruction of forests greatly changes the climate of entire regions, or even causes powerful floods. 36
Environmental protection stimulates research and technological innovation. The idea for the first flying machine was inspired by bird observation. The rainforest is the richest source of many medicines. Almost every animal and plant has its own technical secrets. 37 With the disappearance of ecosystems and wildlife species, the base for scientific research and technical improvement is nowhere to find.
Protecting the environment is protecting people. The loss of natural resources leads to economic crises, wars or diseases. 38 For example, the reduction of the population of bees will affect not only the production of honey, but also the whole food production system. No bees — no honey, no fruit, very few vegetables. This leads to hunger, disease, migration and war.
39 We meet with like-minded people. Any local success — the rescue of an endangered population for reserves — becomes a cause for global joy and inspires more participation.
We humans are part of nature and its cycles ourselves. Our impact on ecosystems has noticeable influence on our daily lives. But it can be predicted and avoided if you think with your head and act carefully. 40 Even small deeds can improve the state of nature and our life on the planet.
A. People spy on them and copy.
B. We are strongly dependent on it.
C. Respect for ecosystems helps to avoid such troubles.
D. And positive change can be promoted in the same way.
E. Taking part in environmental protection is a source of joy.
F. We consume the world’s natural resources in our daily life.
G. Even small changes in the ecosystem can cause huge disasters.
