Laughter is the Best Medicine

Do you often laugh with friends? Do you giggle at jokes? If you do, that is great, because just as the saying goes: Laughter is the best medicine!

People start laughing from a young age. At around three months old, babies learn to laugh. Even babies that cannot see or hear can laugh. Laughter is a natural part of life! But why is it so important?

First of all, laughter is good for our body. When we laugh, our body takes in more oxygen (氧气). Every part of our body needs oxygen to work well. Laughter also makes our body work out.

Our heart, stomach, and even our shoulders work hard when we laugh! But after we laugh, our muscles feel more relaxed. A good laugh can help you feel relaxed for up to 45 minutes. Over time, laughter helps our body to get stronger, fight off more diseases, and even create special chemicals to help us feel less pain! Laughter also has many benefits for our mood. When we laugh, it makes us feel less stressed or anxious, and things will not seem so bad. Laughing also causes our brain to release chemicals that make us feel calm and happy. Scientists even think that smiling often is enough to increase these chemicals in our brain.

But it is not always easy to laugh on our own. We are 30 times more likely to laugh when we are around others. According to some scientists, laughter can show others that we want to be close to them. Monkeys clean one another’s fur to show friendship. But people laugh so that others will know that they are being friendly.

Some people even join laughing groups. Although they force themselves to laugh at first, after hearing other people laugh, their laughter becomes real! Before long, the whole group of people is laughing hard. The next time you feel unhappy, try thinking about something funny. Although you might not want to laugh when you are sad, doing so can make you feel better!

1. According to the passage, what can laughter do for our body?

A. It makes us feel more tired.

B. It helps us fight off more diseases.

C. It makes our heart work more slowly.

2. According to the passage, when are we 30 times more likely to laugh?

A. When we are alone.

B. When we are around others.

C. When we watch TV.

3. What does the writer suggest you do when you feel unhappy?

A. Try thinking about something funny.

B. Join a laughing group right away.

C. Go to sleep to forget your sadness.

Many children want to develop a hobby. You’ll need to find different interests and decide which hobby really interests you. This may be hard to do. Here are four great reasons for developing hobbies:

Hobbies help build a teen’s confidence (自信).

By finding an area of interest, a teen can build his skill. This leads to positive results and builds teenagers’ confidence.

Hobbies help teens have a sense of their identity (身份认同).

Our likes and dislikes help let us know who we are as people. Hobbies help by sending a signal, “I like doing this. This makes me feel good about myself. Therefore, this is a part of who I am.”

Hobbies keep teens from getting bored.

Bored teens look for things to do and are more likely to do something bad. Helping teens develop a hobby is helping them stay out of trouble.

Hobbies will help teens to get on well with their parents.

When a teen is busy with a hobby, his parents have easy access (机会) to something to praise him about. They can communicate with each other easily.

4. According to the passage, hobbies can make kids ________.

A. be sure something they want will happen as expected

B. know they are different from their parents
