Even doctors agree that laughing makes your body and mind feel better.It seems that the act of smiling or laughing sends chemical messages to the brain and affects a person’s mood.Because you feel happier,you feel better.Stress is reduced and anger and tension begin to disappear.Your mind is at peace and so you feel happier and more able to cope with problems in your life.
Laughing and smiling also have the same effect on the body.They improve the body’s ability to stay fit and healthy because the person’s immune system is activated.This means that any germs (病菌) in the body are attacked and killed by these immune system cells.Some doctors even think that skin conditions,such as skin rashes(疹) which may be due to psychological factors,will improve if the person has a good laugh every day.Serious people may not live as long as people who take life less seriously.When you laugh,your muscles “contract” (收缩) and relax.This is not the case with very serious people.So a sense of humour is important for a good and healthy life,and to remain a fit and strong person,you need to laugh and smile for at least ten minutes every day!
1.How can laughter make you feel less pain
A.By exercising your muscles.
B.By improving your immune system.
C.By producing certain chemicals in your body.
D.By producing new cells.
2.What happens when we laugh
A.Our muscles tighten and then relax.
B.We can’t think well and react quickly.
C.We can hardly breathe for a while.
D.Our skin reacts more sensitively.
3.What can we conclude from the passage
A.Laughter can help you live longer.
B.Funny movies can help you with better breathing.
C.Jokes and humour can make you more decisive.
D.People with a good sense of humour don’t get heart diseases.

People who write dramas,also called plays,are known as “playwrights” or “dramatists”.Some popular types of dramas include comedy,tragedy,farce,opera and docudrama.Now,I’d like to tell you some popular types of drama.
Lighter in tone,comedies try to make the audience laugh and usually come to a happy edies put unusual characters in special situations,causing them to do and say funny edies can also be sarcastic (讽刺的) in nature,creating fun at serious topics.There are also several different types of comedies,including romantic comedy,comedy of manners,and tragic comedy—the play in which characters take on tragedy with humour while bringing serious situations to happy endings.
Tragedy is based on darker themes.Generally,tragedies show serious subjects like death,disaster and human suffering in a way that makes the audience think.Hardly enjoying happy endings,characters in tragedies,like Shakespeare’s Hamlet,are often troubled by tragic character flaws (缺点) that finally lead to their death.
A farce is a type of drama in which characters overact and present physical humour.Examples of farce include the play Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett and the hit 1980 movie Airplane!written by David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams.
Opera is a type of drama which combines theatre,dialogue,music and dance to tell stories of tragedy or comedy.Since characters express their feelings through singing rather than dialogue,performers must be both skilled actors and singers.The tragedy La Bohème by Giacomo Puccini and the comedy Falstaff by Giuseppe Verdi are classic examples of opera.
A docudrama is a relatively new kind of drama.Docudramas talk about historic events or non-fictional situations.More often presented in movies and television than in live theatre,popular examples of docudramas include the movies Apollo 13 and Twelve Years a Slave.
4.What do we know about comedies
A.They don’t talk about serious topics.
B.They usually don’t have sad endings.
C.There’re always some arguments in them.
D.There’re four kinds of comedies mentioned.
5.How would people most probably react when watching plays like Waiting for Godot
A.Worried. B.Cheerful.
C.Upset. D.Thoughtful.
6.What are performers required to do in dramas like La Bohème
A.To say something funny.
B.To present physical humour.
C.To be good at acting and singing.
D.To tell stories through dialogue.
7.Who would most probably love watching docudramas
A.Girls loving romantic stories.
B.Children loving funny stories.
C.People interested in true events in history.
D.People interested in fictional situations.
C
主题语境:人与社会　语篇类型:说明文
Culture shock or thinking differences can depress even the most experienced traveller.Remember that unlucky accidents with service providers may take place because of cultural or linguistic misunderstandings,and that getting angry will make communication more difficult and cause bad feelings.A taste of humour can make hard situations more meaningful and enjoyable to you,your fellow travellers and the local friends you’ve made.
Keep a journal or carry a small tape recorder and make regular entries or recordings.Taking a step back and telling an experience after some time will open the door to humour.Write a letter or an email to a friend when you find your humour reducing.Challenge yourself to tell at least one good story in this message and you’ll be surprised at how funny things can look when told to someone outside the situation.
Keep a list of funny things that you observe during your first few days in a new culture,and an explanation of what you think these things are all about.Look back on these lists later in the trip;what seemed strange before is probably familiar now,and your explanations may be funnier than the things themselves!Imagine writing an entry in a guidebook about a frustrating experience.How would you describe your experience to the later travellers What travel advice would you offer
Try to see yourself through the eyes of the locals.What might they find strange or funny about what you are doing at this moment When you find it difficult to overcome cultural differences,taking a new look at yourself can be very funny.Be careful not to sacrifice (牺牲) respect for local culture in order to lighten things up for yourself and fellow travellers.
8.Why will the travellers often get depressed according to the text
A.Because of being short of money.
B.Because of the different thoughts on the same thing.
C.Because of not having enough clothes.
D.Because of the unlucky fellow travellers’ trouble.
9.What should you do when you try to keep your sense of humour in foreign countries
A.Tell anything that you find entertaining.
B.Learn to respect the local customs.
C.Know how to overcome cultural differences.
D.Try to tell anything particularly funny.
10.What can you infer from the passage
A.The funny things will be always interesting and never change.
B.The funny things will always make people happy.
C.If the people didn’t experience the things,they would find them funny.
D.The things seemed strange before are surely becoming the familiar things.
11.Who is the text intended for
A.The performers who act in the music hall.
B.The actors who often act in the theatre.
C.The travellers who are experienced.
D.The travellers who want to be humorous.

The learning benefits of humour
