Unit 1 Period One Starting out & Understanding ideas(Word讲义)-【满分思维】2026-2027学年高中英语选择性必修第一册学生用书（外研版）

Unit 1　Laugh out loud! 　　 When we are kids, we laugh a lot. Children laugh dozens of times a day: they laugh at small things and big things; they laugh at silly jokes and serious things. But as we become adults, it is much more difficult to laugh so easily. Do you laugh too little in your life? Do you remember how you used to laugh as a child? In fact, laughter has a lot of benefits. It’s a great way to relax, not just on a purely emotional level, but also physically. It can reduce your blood pressure. And it contributes to the release of hormones and neurotransmitters, which is good for our health: if we are laughing, it means that all is well. In addition to this, laughing has a social function. It helps us feel more at ease around new people and also connects us with others. Laughing together is great for bonding, no matter what the situation. A good idea to laugh as happily as a child is to allow yourself to play. Play is a natural activity that promotes a lot of laughter, whether it’s through video games, outdoor games, or board games. Discover what you like to play and have fun with it! Beyond that, you can also cultivate situations that promote laughter in your life. Watch funny films and videos, and read funny articles and books. Be silly with your friends, make jokes and laugh at jokes. Make a conscious effort to include things, people, and events that make you laugh in your daily life. Try to see your friends more often. Hang out with family members that are nice to be around, with whom you can have fun, laugh, and enjoy yourself. 【主题词句背诵】 1.contribute to促成,导致,有助于 2.at ease心情放松,安逸,舒适 3.bond v.增强关系,建立纽带 4.hang out闲逛 5.But as we become adults, it is much more difficult to laugh so easily.(as引导时间状语从句;it作形式主语) 但是,当我们长大成人时,很难如此轻易地笑出来。 6.And it contributes to the release of hormones and neurotransmitters, which is good for our health: if we are laughing, it means that all is well.
