Do you want to live a happier, less stressful(有压力的) life Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how millions of people start their day at Laughter(笑声) 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 is naturally good at laughing — it’s the common language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 in the world.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects(效果) of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress 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 silly. 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 real laughter and unreal 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.
( )6. The first Laughter Club was started in .
A. India B. America C. Britain D. China
( )7. How many Laughter Clubs are there in the world today
A. Over 300. B. Over 500. C. Over 800. D. Over 1,300.
( )8. How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class
A. Surprised. B. Pleased. C. Nervous. D. Tired.
( )9. When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real
After ten minutes. B. After ten hours.
C. After ten seconds. D. After ten days.
( )10. The article mainly tells us .
A. young children laugh much more often than adults in a day
B. laughing is one of the best ways to stay healthy
C. many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health
D. real laughter and unreal laughter are both good for health

When we exercise hard, we burn fat. But have you ever wondered where exactly the fat goes
Some doctors think that fat is changed into heat and given off in the air. Others think the body burns it. Some even joke that someone comes and takes it. That’s why you always weigh less in the morning.
Now a new study from Australia solves the mystery(迷). “The correct answer is that most of the fat is breathed (呼吸)out as CO2. It goes into the air.” says the study.
Scientists followed the atoms (原子) in 10 kilograms of fat as they are lost. They found that 8.4 of those kilograms are breathed out as CO2 through the lungs (肺). The other weight, 1.6 kilograms,becomes water and leaves the body.
“None of this is easy to understand because we can’t see the CO2 we breathe out.” said the study’s lead expert.
Does that mean you can lose more weight by breathing more It is not as easy as you think.
Breathing more than the body’s metabolic rate (新陈代谢速度) can make you uncomfortable. You may feel dizzy(眩晕的) and become unable to see, move or feel, according to the study.
So how can people lose weight healthily The key is to eat less and move more. You may have heard this many times. During a day, a 70kg person breathes out about 200g of CO2. So if the same person wants to lose weight, he or she can do some light exercise, for example, walking fast.This can help lose 240g of CO2.
11. According to the new study, where does our fat go when we exercise a lot
A. The body burns it.
B. Someone comes and takes it.
C. It is changed into heat and given off in the air.
D. Most of it is breathed out as CO2.
12. What will happen to people if they breathe more than the body’s metabolic rate
A. They will lose weight healthily. B. They will feel comfortable.
C. They may become unable to move. D. They may become healthier.
13. Which of the following is the best way to lose weight
A. Sitting still and breathing more. B. Sleeping a lot and breathing more.
C. Eating less and exercising more.
D. Eating more and doing some light exercise.
14. The passage mainly tells us ______.
A. where fat goes when we exercise B. why we can lose weight healthily
C. how we should do some exercise D. what we should do to become fat

The problem of debt(债务) among teenagers in Western countries is becoming worse and worse. Aren’t they following their parents’ advice, or aren’t the parents teaching their children about money Here is some advice(建议) that children as young as eight or nine can understand.
First of all, you should learn to save before you buy. When you receive money, you should save some of it, maybe 30%. After this, spend what you want.
Secondly, you’d better watch your money. Don’t trust other people with it. Don’t lend money and don’t try to buy friends. If friends want your money, they aren’t real friends.
Another piece of advice is to buy only what you can buy. If that iPad or iPhone costs more than you have, then you don’t need it. Don’t borrow money for it, either. If you really want something, you can save for it. Also, after you have saved up enough money, you may understand you don’t really want it after all.
Finally, you should not compare(比较) what you have with what your friends have. Your friend may have an expensive iPad. However, your friend may borrow it or pay for it with borrowed money.
There is an old saying: “Give a person a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a person how to fish, and he will eat for the rest of his life.” This is also true when we teach our children about money. Don’t buy everything your children want. If you teach them good habits, they will always look after their money.
Introduction Debt among 1 teenagers is increasing
Body 2 What to do
First, save before you buy. As soon as you receive money, you should 3 about 30% before 4 what you want.
Second, 5 your money. Don’t lend money and don’t try to buy 6 .
Third, buy what you can buy. If something costs more than you have, then you 7 buy it.
At 8 , don’t compare what you have with what your friends have. Your friend may borrow an iPad or 9 for it with borrowed money.
Conclusion If you teach them good habits, they will take good 10 of their money.
