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 they feel happier,they 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 life’s problems.
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!

四、阅读填句
Friendship is a very beautiful bond (联系), in which no one is big or small, no one is rich or poor, and no one is ugly or beautiful. 1 In friendship, there are no terms or conditions. There is no age factor in friendship. Each person has his or her own mind, own views, and own perspective on life. You can learn a lot from every one of your friends.
2 It is best to have one good friend who accepts you as you are, bridges gaps and never lets you fall. As the ancient Greek poet Euripides put it, “Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness. ”
Be happy and cheerful about your friends’ success. 3 Never be selfish, and always try to give more and expect less. Give whatever you want from your friends, like honesty, love, support and understanding, and never boast to your friends when you are more successful.
If you are looking for a friend who is faultless, you will be friendless. 4 And for a good friendship, we need patience, because patience is the key to everything. A beautiful friendship is like a childhood friendship, free of jealousy and full of love. Children are unaware of bad feelings, where anger can suddenly arise. This is the quality that makes children pure and special. For a good friendship, one needs true love, and children are full of love. 5
A. Everybody has flaws.
B. The best mirror is an old friend.
C. Friendship means understanding, bonding and helpfulness.
D. Ask your new friends questions about themselves.
E. That is why they are loved by everyone.
F. One good friend is better than thousands of ordinary friends.
G. Always stand by your friends in every situation.
