三、阅读理解
体裁:说明文 主题:世界微笑日 词数:231 难度:★★☆☆☆ 正确率: /5
As the saying goes, “A smile is the best medicine.” Nothing can heal(使康复) a sick heart better than a warm smile. When you smile, your brain lets out some special chemicals(化学物质). Together, they work to make you feel calm and relaxed. Smiling more often can even make your immune system(免疫系统) stronger.
World Smile Day is celebrated on the first Friday of October every year. This year, it falls on October 6. The holiday was set up by American artist Harvey Ball. Ball created his famous yellow smiley face symbol in 1963. People loved it. However, more and more businesses began to use it for different purposes, which brought the symbol new meanings. Ball became worried that the symbol was losing its foundational meaning. To remind people to spread the “real” smile, he came up with the idea for World Smile Day. After that, the day gets more and more popular around the world.
The theme of the day is, “Do an act of kindness. Help one person smile.” This can be as simple as smiling at everyone you meet. You can also cook a dish for your parents or give a small gift to your friend. It would be even better if you could do some volunteer work, such as cleaning up the environment and helping the elderly. Let's spread laughter and hope on this World Smile Day!
