　　Do you want to live a happier, less stressful (有压力的) life?

　　Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world ，and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.

　  The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr Kataria. “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing－－it’s the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.

　  Many doctors are also interested in the effects (效果) of laughter on our health. According to a 5 year study in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.

　  So, what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest －－I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha,” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.

　  Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class, I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!

21．In which country was the first Laughter Club started?

 A．Britain.        B．America.       C．Australia       D．India.

22．How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class?

 A．Surprised.    B．Pleased.          C．Nervous.       D．Stressful.

23．When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real?

 A．After a few minutes.          B．After a few hours.

 C．After a few seconds.          D．After a few days.

24．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

 A．Fake laughter and real laughter are both good for health.

 B．40% of the people in Laughter Clubs are good friends.

 C．Adults laugh more often than children in a day.

　　Body language is one of the most powerful means of communication, often even more powerful than spoken language. It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying.

    Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you’re unhappy!

    Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are a monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.

    Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still!

    Posture (姿势). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you normally don’t sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult, which can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.

    Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse(噘嘴) your lips. You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don’t wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you’re not pleased.

    Face. When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would crack briefly, allowing displays of true emotions such as happiness, sadness, disgust (厌恶) and fear to come through.[来源:学科网]
