圣地亚哥举办首届美国笑赛。它要求参赛者互相面对面开始大笑，由观众来决定谁笑得最有感染力。
The First American Laughing Championship in San Diego
The first-ever American Laughing Championship is taking place in San Diego.The contest is the first national championship in the US，although Canadian filmmaker，Albert Nerenberg，has organised national laughing contests in Canada and Japan and a state championship in California back in 2010.The contest requires the chosen laughers to face off against each other as the audience determine who has the most attractive laugh.Daunte Reed is one of about twelve people competing in the contest.He is hoping to be a winner of the title of top laugher.“I've been told I have an attractive laugh.It doesn't take much to make me laugh，”Reed said.
The contest includes the belly laugh，the crazy laugh and the diabolical laugh.The last one is the most challenging，according to Nerenberg，who said the goal is to make the audience laugh with your laugh.“The solo laughing requires a good voice.However，the other laugh styles require someone to get the audience laughing；a good diabolical laugh requires the laugher to infect himself and start laughing naturally，”he explained.
“The person who wins isn't always the best，but the top three people are always the best.These people bring more joy to the world.They tend to be happy types.We've never had a sad person win so far，”he added.

[答案] 1－6 EAFCDB
Stand up for(支持，维护)your health!
People have always enjoyed laughing，and there has always been humour.One favourite type of comedy is called(示例)stand-up(单口喜剧)．Stand-up is a kind of comedy that is done on a stage (舞台) by a comedian (喜剧演员) talking straight to audience members①.A stand-up comedian may tease (取笑) an audience member，or might decide to tell different jokes depending upon how the audience reacted to his or her previous (先前的) jokes.
欣赏单口喜剧，促进身心健康！
人们总是爱笑，幽默无时不在。有一种深受人们喜爱的喜剧形式，叫做单口喜剧。单口喜剧是一种舞台剧，由一个喜剧演员表演，演员与观众直接交流。单口喜剧演员可以拿某一位观众开玩笑，也可以根据观众的反应随机应变，讲各种笑话。
[助读讲解] ①that引导定语从句，修饰先行词a kind of comedy。
Types of stand-up
There are a variety (不同种类) of different styles (风格) of stand-up comedy.Some comedians tell jokes about the way people behave② (表现) or about daily life.For example，they may talk about how people act when they queue up，or they may ask why it only rains when you forget your umbrella③.Other comedians rely on visual (视觉的) humour.Their humour may be inspired by objects.For example，one comedian uses a huge hammer (锤子) to break watermelons while he makes jokes about what he is doing④.Another comedian points to a video tennis game and says，‘I've been playing tennis every day for a month.I don't understand why I am not losing weight！’Yet other comedians may trip over (绊倒) chairs，walk into doors，and fall down on stage in order to make people laugh.This kind of absurd humour is not very funny if you are only listening and not watching the comedian's performance(表演)．The last kind of comedian does impressions — he or she will act or speak like a well-known person in order to make fun of that person.While this kind of humour may sound cruel，it usually only works if both the comedian and the audience have affection for (钟爱) or admire the person being made fun of.⑤
单口喜剧的类型
单口喜剧有很多不同的类型。有些喜剧演员拿人们的行为方式来开玩笑，或者讲有关日常生活的笑话。例如，他们可以谈论人们排队时的举动，或者问为什么偏偏在你忘记带雨伞的时候天会下雨。别的演员依靠视觉幽默，他们的幽默可以是由物品激发的。例如，某个演员一边拿着大锤子去砸西瓜，一边以此说着笑话。另一个喜剧演员指着电脑网球游戏说：“我每天都打网球，已经一个月了。我就是搞不懂，为什么体重一点也降不下来呢？”还有些演员可能玩这些把戏逗笑观众，被椅子绊倒，撞到了房门，或者跌倒在舞台上。如果你只是听而不看演员的表演，这种荒唐的幽默就不搞笑了。最后一种演员是做印象模仿的，这类演员模仿某个名人的言谈举止以取笑这个名人。这种幽默听起来可能有点刻薄，但通常只有当喜剧演员和观众都喜欢或者崇拜这个被取笑的对象时，这种幽默才奏效。

A famous comedian
Only a few stand-up comedians have become famous as television and film performers (演员) later on in life.One such person is Billy Crystal.Like other stand-up comedians who have gone on to act in films⑥，Crystal still enjoys stand-up.People around the world enjoy watching him when he hosts the Academy (研究院) Awards.He has hosted the show nine times.Each time，he performs (演出，表演) his stand-up routine in front of millions of people when the show is broadcast live on TV.One little-known (鲜为人知的) fact is that when Crystal is the host of the Academy Awards，he always keeps a toothbrush in his pocket for good luck⑦.He says it is because when he started practising stand-up as a child，he told himself jokes while standing in front of the mirror，brushing his teeth⑧.
一位著名的喜剧演员
只有为数不多的单口喜剧演员在之后的生涯中成为走红的影视明星。一个成功的例子就是比利·克里斯托。和其他转向电影表演的单口喜剧演员一样，克里斯托现在依然热爱单口喜剧。全世界的观众都喜爱看他主持的奥斯卡颁奖典礼。他曾主持过九次奥斯卡颁奖典礼。每次主持奥斯卡颁奖典礼电视直播的时候，他都会在数百万观众面前表演他的单口喜剧节目。这里有一个鲜为人知的秘密：每次主持奥斯卡颁奖典礼的时候，克里斯托总要在自己的口袋里放一把牙刷，以求得到幸运！他说，这是因为从小时候开始练习单口喜剧的时候，他就习惯于站在镜子前面，边刷牙边对自己说笑话！
[助读讲解] ⑥who引导定语从句，修饰先行词comedians。⑦that引导表语从句；从句中又含有when引导的时间状语从句。⑧says后为省略that的宾语从句，从句中含有because引导的表语从句；表语从句中when引导的是时间状语从句；又有while引导的状语从句的省略结构，brushing his teeth作伴随状语。
One reason Crystal has become so famous is that he is very quick thinking⑨，and is often able to come up with (想出；拿出) new jokes about the people and things around him.When Crystal was the host of the 2004 Academy Awards，a very old actor，who had acted in films before they had sound⑩，gave a speech.He talked for several minutes，but there was a technical (技术的) problem，and no one in the audience could hear him.They could only see him standing there moving his lips.Instead of telling the joke he had planned，Crystal made up a new one.He said，‘It seems appropriate that he got his start in silent films (无声电影)！’The audience howled (大叫) with laughter.
克里斯托之所以如此出名，原因之一是他思维非常敏捷，常常能就身边的人或事即兴编排笑话。当克里斯托主持2004年的奥斯卡颁奖典礼时，从无声电影时代就开始表演的老演员上台发言。老演员讲了好几分钟，但由于技术故障，观众中没有人能够听见他在说些什么，观众只能看见他站在那里，嘴唇动个不停。见此情景，克里斯托放弃了事先准备好的笑话，编了一个新的。他说：“看来，他的确适合从无声电影起家！”观众哄堂大笑。
[助读讲解] ⑨One/The reason...is that...句型，that引导的是表语从句。⑩who引导的是非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词a very old actor。
Crystal is popular with all age groups and has the ability to amuse (逗笑) people all over the world.This proves that stand-up can be enjoyed by everyone?.You can expect to hear a lot more from Billy Crystal — he has no plans to stop making films，or to stop telling jokes.He hopes to follow in the footsteps of other famous comedians，such as Bob Hope and George Burns，who lived to be 100 years old and kept working until nearly the end of their lives ?.
克里斯托深受各年龄段人群的喜爱，他有能力逗笑全世界的人，这证明，单口喜剧能被所有人欣赏。你可以期待听到比利·克里斯托表演更多的单口喜剧——他尚无停止电影表演的打算，也没有停止讲笑话的想法。他希望效仿鲍勃·霍普和乔治·伯恩斯等著名单口喜剧明星，他们都活到了一百岁，并且一直工作到生命的最后时期。
[助读讲解] ?that引导的是宾语从句。?who引导的是非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Bob Hope and George Burns。
Laughter is good for your health!
Nowadays，stand-up comedy is popular all over the world.Doctors have been researching what effect stand-up and other forms of comedy have on us，and have discovered that people who laugh a lot live longer?.They say this is because when you laugh，your brain sends chemicals around your body that are good for you?.Laughing helps your body stay healthy and can even help you fight pain.Maybe this explains the long lives of men like Bob Hope and George Burns.Whatever the reason，research shows that in the end，the English saying (格言，谚语)，‘Laughter is the best medicine’， may be true after all?.So，go and make someone laugh — it just might help them (and you) live longer.
大笑有益于健康！
如今，单口喜剧流行全世界。医学工作者一直在研究单口喜剧和其他喜剧形式能够对人们产生什么样的影响。并已发现笑口常开的人更长寿。他们说，这是因为当你笑的时候，你的大脑会向全身传送有益健康的化学物质。笑有助于保持身体健康，甚至能够帮助你战胜疼痛。这个说法或许能够解释像鲍勃·霍普和乔治·伯恩斯这样的人长寿的原因吧！不管是什么原因，研究表明，英语格言“笑是灵丹妙药”到头来可能真的没错。所以，行动起来，让别人笑一笑——这或许能够有助于他们(还有你自己)长命百岁！

非谓语动词
非谓语动词包括不定式、动名词和分词，非谓语动词可在句中作主语、宾语、补语、定语和状语。
一、非谓语动词作主语
1．不定式作主语
(1)不定式作主语表示某一次的具体动作、将来的动作或一般情况。作主语的不定式有时态和语态的变化，而且谓语动词的数通常用单数。
To hesitate means failure.
犹豫不决就意味着失败。
To know everything is to know nothing.
样样皆通，样样稀松。
To smoke so much is not very good for you.
抽这么多烟对你身体很不好。
(2)有时候为了保持句子平衡，也可以用it作形式主语，而将作真正主语的动词不定式后置。
It is our duty to give as much help as possible.
提供尽可能多的帮助是我们的职责。
(3)不定式的复合结构由“for/of sb.to do”构成，“介词＋sb.(sth.)”表明不定式动作的发出者，为不定式的逻辑主语。
It's difficult for us to finish the work.
对我们来说，完成这项工作是困难的。
It's clever of you to work out the maths problem.

②I don't think it right for you to say so absurd a requirement.
(3)句型转换

→It is right to give up smoking.
2．动名词作主语
(1)动名词作主语常表示一般性的、习惯性的动作或状态，动名词有时态和语态的变化，且谓语动词通常用单数形式。
Saying is easier than doing.
说比做容易。
Having seen a lot of the world in one's youth is a good thing.
年轻时多见见世面是件好事。
Being laughed at in public is what you will never want to happen to you.
被当众嘲笑是你永远不想发生在自己身上的事情。
(2)动名词作主语时，可位于句首和句末。动名词位于句末时用it作形式主语。常见句型有：
It is no use waiting here.
在这儿等无济于事。
It is worthwhile spending some time doing this job.
花点儿时间做这项工作是值得的。
(3)动名词作主语时的逻辑主语：动名词作主语时可以有自己的逻辑主语，“逻辑主语＋动名词”叫作动名词的复合结构。动名词作主语时，逻辑主语的常见形式：
His leaving is a great loss.
他的离开是一个巨大的损失。

二、非谓语动词作定语
1．不定式作定语
(1)作定语的不定式如果是不及物动词，或者不定式所修饰的名词或代词是不定式动作的地点、工具等，不定式后面须有相应的介词。
The Browns have a comfortable house to live in.
布朗一家有舒适的房子可住。
(2)当作定语的不定式所修饰的名词或代词是不定式动作的承受者时，不定式既可用主动语态，也可用被动语态，但其含义有所不同。试比较：
Have you got anything to send?
你有什么东西要寄吗？(不定式to send的动作执行者是“你”)
Have you got anything to be sent?
你有什么要(我或别人)寄的东西吗？(不定式to be sent的动作执行者是“我”或“别人”)
(3)用不定式作定语的几种情况：
①不定式表将来
The car to be bought is for his sister.
要买的这辆车是给他姐姐的。
②用来修饰被序数词、最高级或no，all，any等限定的中心词。

④该开始春播了。

2．分词作定语
现在分词作定语：现在分词作定语时，与所修饰词之间是主动关系。
①单个分词作定语一般放在所修饰的名词的前面，分词短语作定语放在所修饰的名词的后面。
Keep silent in order not to wake up the sleeping baby.
保持安静，别惊醒睡觉的小孩。
If you see soldiers wearing sky-blue helmets，they are United Nations peacekeepers.
如果你看见士兵戴着天蓝色的头盔，他们就是联合国维和人员。
②现在分词的一般式(doing)作定语，表示主动、进行的动作；现在分词一般式的被动语态(being done)作定语时，表示被动、进行的动作。
The man standing by the window is our teacher.
站在窗户旁边的那个人是我们的老师。
The bridge being repaired will be in use next month.

[名师点津]

3．不定式的一般被动式(to be done)、过去分词(done)、现在分词的一般被动式(being done)作定语时的区别
不定式的一般被动式(to be done)表示将来的被动动作；过去分词(done)表示被动或完成的动作；现在分词的一般被动式(being done)表示被动、进行的动作。

三、非谓语动词作补语
1．一般情况下，不定式作宾补常指动作是将来发生的，现在分词作宾补表示动作正在进行，而过去分词作宾补常表示被动完成。
The children asked their parents to take them to the park.孩子们要求父母带他们去公园。
Suddenly he heard someone knocking gently on the window.
忽然他听见有人在轻轻地敲窗户。
When they got there，they found the house burnt down.
当他们到那儿时，发现房子已全部被烧毁。
2．感官动词后，如see，watch，look at，observe，notice，hear，listen to，feel及部分表示“使”、“让”的使役动词，如have，make，let跟不定式作宾补时要省略不定式符号to。但在被动语态中作主补的不定式要加上有相应的被动结构to。另外notice/watch sb./sth.do。
Though he had often made his sister cry，today he was made to cry by his sister.
尽管他总是弄哭他妹妹，但今天却被他妹妹弄哭了。
[名师点津]
(1)感官动词后跟分词和动词不定式作宾补的区别：如果感官动词后的宾语和分词之间是主动关系或表示正在进行的动作或动作的一个片段，则用现在分词；是主动关系又表示全过程时，则用省略to的动词不定式；如果是被动关系，且动作已经完成，则用过去分词。
(2)使役动词leave，have，get可跟三种非谓语形式作补语，但意义不同。

[文体指导]
电子邮件(e-mail)属于应用文中的一种，是高考考查的重点和热点。
一、基本结构
英语e-mail在内容结构上主要由以下几部分组成：
1．标题栏
一般情况下，开头需要填写的地方主要有“To：”(即填写收件人的e-mail地址)及“Subject：”(即填写电子邮件内容的主题)。
2．称呼语
在e-mail中，正文前的称呼无需太正式，目前，省略Mr.或Ms.(或Mrs/Miss)，直呼对方名字的做法很普遍，如“Dear John”或“Tommy”，“Mary”等。即使省略称呼，在e-mail中也不算太失礼，不过这要视情况而定。给长辈或上级发e-mail最好用头衔加上姓名相称，如“Mr.Smith”，“Dr.Wang”等。
3．正文
写正文时要注意把握以下两点：
(1)首先要明确写给谁。对不同的收件人，写作的语气要有所不同。假如是写给朋友的，则可以用一些俚语或缩写词，但如果是高考中的书面表达题，则属正规写作，最好不用俚语或缩写词。
(2)写电子邮件要多用短句，使意思表达更加清楚，当然，对重点部分要作详细介绍。比如高考中，就必须根据(汉语或图画)提示，将要点写全，并注意语言的规范。也就是说，应把它当作一篇小作文来对待，而不是像我们平时给朋友发的邮件那样随随便便。
4．结束语
结束语也很简明，常常只需一个单词，如“Thanks”，“Cheers”，或者一些非正式用语，如“Take care”，“See you”。但在正式的商业性质的e-mail中常会出现“Best wishes”或“Best regards”等。
5．签名
签到结束语下一行左下角处。
一、常用开头语
1．表达问候
2．谈谈心情
3．直言目的：I'm writing to...
二、正文部分
1．As we discussed on the phone...
如我们上次在电话中讨论的……
2．As mentioned before，we think this product has strong unique selling points in China.
如先前所述，我们认为这个产品在中国有强有力且独一无二的销售点。
3．Let me tell you something different.
让我告诉你一些不同的事情。
4．We would like to inform you that...
我们想要通知你……
5．I am convinced that...
我确信……
6．We will have a meeting scheduled as noted below.
我们将举行一个会议，时间表如下。
7．The...here is totally different from...
这里的……完全不同于……
8．You'd better bring...
你最好带……
三、结尾部分
1．表达祝愿
2．期盼回复
李平的父亲有位美国同事，他的孩子约翰下个月来中国。约翰发邮件向李平询问一些有关李平所在城市的问题。请根据以下要点给约翰回封电子邮件。
1．得知约翰要来非常高兴。告诉他可能遇到一些不同于美国的情况。

Is everything going well with you？I am glad to hear that you will come to China next month.Now let me tell you various cases before I may meet you here.
To begin with，the weather here is totally different from that in your place.It is very cold in winter and sometimes it snows.While it hardly ever rains in summer，each time it does，it rains heavily.So you'd better bring a raincoat and overcoat.Another big difference is food.The Chinese food is quite different from yours.Not only do you have to try to get used to it，but also you should learn how to use chopsticks. I'm sure you can do it. Finally，please bring me an American map if possible.Thank you very much.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Studies show that laughter is something that makes you feel calm or relaxed for both physical and psychological wounds though it may seem futile to laugh in the face of pain and fear.
When Dan Rather interviewed comedian Bill Cosby just one week after his son，Ennis，was killed，Cosby said，“I think it is time for me to tell people that we have to laugh.You can turn painful situations around through laughter.If you can find humor in anything，you can survive it.”
Call it a flashlight for dark times：laughter just seems to adjust the attitude better than anything else.Inspirational (鼓舞人心的) speaker Steve Rizzo recalls a TV interview with an injured firefighter a few days after 9·11.The man had fallen more than 30 stories in one of the towers and had broken a leg.Everyone was crying，and the “How is it that you've come out of this reporter asked，alive？”He looked at her and without missing a beat，said，“Look，lady，I'm from New York and I'm a firefighter; that's all you need to know.”
“Everyone laughed though the laughter was only a couple of seconds，”says Rizzo.“Sometimes that's all you need to catch your second breath.Laughter gives you that couple of seconds. You're sending a message to your brain，and the message is：If you can still laugh even a little among the pain，you are going to be OK.”
Of course，there is a difference between laughing off a serious situation and laughing off the fear that results in.The firefighter was doing the latter，states Rizzo，the author of Becoming a Humorous Being，and so should we.“If there is anything we have learnt from 9·11，it's how precious life really is，”she says.“We have to send a message that our spirit won't die. One important thing that unites us is our ability to laugh.”

Life is filled with ups and downs.When you feel like you're experiencing more downs than ups，sometimes it helps to get a little tough love.That's why we put together this list of five harsh (残酷的) truths that will help you grow.
Life isn't fair.
Life will hand you lemons，often when you least expect it. 1
The first step is always the hardest.
Changing bad habits is tough. Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said，“ 2 ”So if you want to change something，start with small steps.
You may be better off without some of the people you currently care about.
Chances are that there's someone in your life you care about deeply who is holding you back. 3 However，there comes a time when you need to make the tough decision to say no to people who can't help you grow.
4
If you don't take risks you will have a hard time accomplishing what you want in life. People who truly change the world are the biggest risk-takers. And they treat each failure as an opportunity to grow and get better.
You are the only thing holding yourself back from greatness.
Often we get so caught up hoping for the next great thing that we don't realize what's unfolding right in front of our faces. 5 Instead，focus on the positive things you have in your life.Choose to be happy right now.
A．That's not to say you should give up the people you love.
B．The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
C．Don't hold yourself back with negative thoughts.
D．Forget about people who don't support your goals or passions.
E．You can't accomplish great things without taking great risks.
F．Just remember，the truth is not always harsh.
G．The sooner you accept this harsh truth，the better pre-pared you are to handle tough situations.
【语篇解读】 人生有许多起起伏伏，如果你感觉不如意，了解一些真相会帮助你成长。
1．G [该段小标题“生活是不公平的”与G项中的“this harsh truth”相对应，而且lemon是酸的，也代指负面的东西，与G项中的“tough situations”相一致。]
2．B [B项“千里之行始于足下”与空后的“start with small steps”(从小步开始)的意思相符，故选B项。]
3．A [上文提到你很在乎的某个人现在阻碍了你的发展，A项“那并不是说你应该与你爱的人断绝关系”，与下文中的“你需要作出艰难的决定，对那些不能帮助你成长的人说不”联系紧密，符合逻辑关系。]
4．E [本段主要讲要勇于冒险，真正改变世界的人们都是最大的冒险者。E项与本段大意相吻合，故选E。]
5．C [C项中的“negative thoughts”与空后的“positive things”相对应，意为“不要因为消极的思想而阻碍了你自己的发展”。]

An Invisible Smile
Mr Dawson was an old grouch，and everyone in town knew it.Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick a delicious apple. Old Dawson，they said，would come after you with his gun.
One Friday，12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawson's house on the way to Amy's house，but as they got close，Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over to the other side of the street.Like most of the children，Janet was scared of the old man.
Amy said not to worry. Mr Dawson wouldn't hurt anyone.Still，Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man's house.When they got close enough，Dawson looked up with his usual frown (皱眉)，but when he saw it was Amy，a broad smile changed his entire face as he said，“Hello Miss Amy.I see you've got a little friend with you today.”
Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games.Mr Dawson said that sounded fun，and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree. They gladly accepted.Mr Dawson had the best apples in the whole town.
When they left，Janet asked Amy，“Everyone says he's the meanest man in town.How come he was so nice to us？”
Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house he wasn't very friendly and she was afraid of him，but she pretended he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled back at him. It took a while，but one day he half-smiled back at her.
After some more time，he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her.Just a “hello”at first，then more.She said he always offers her an apple now，and is always very kind.
“An invisible smile？”questioned Janet.
“Yes，”answered Amy，“my grandma told me that if I pretended I wasn't afraid and pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him，sooner or later he would really smile. Grandma says smiles are contagious．”
If we remember what Amy's grandma said，that everyone wears an invisible smile，we too will find that most people can't resist our smile after a while.We're always on the go trying to accomplish so much，aren't we？It's so easy to get caught up in everyday life that we forget how simple it can be to bring cheer to ourselves and others.Giving a smile away takes so little effort and time，let's make sure that we're not the one that others have to pretend to be wearing an invisible smile.
【语篇解读】 Dawson通常是很冷淡的，孩子们很害怕他，但是Amy和他的关系很好，这是因为Amy听了奶奶的话，认为他有着看不见的笑容，Amy会向他微笑，慢慢地Dawson真的开始微笑了，他们的关系也越来越好了。

3．The underlined word“contagious”in Paragraph 9 means “ ”．
A．meaningful B．infectious
C．moving D．supportive

Kataria is the founder of the worldwide laughter movement.The celebration of World Laughter Day is a positive activity for world peace and is intended to build up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship through laughter.The first“World Laughter Day”gathering took place in Mumbai，India，on 11th January，1998.12，000 members from India and international Laughter Clubs attended it.Now there are over 5，000 Laughter Clubs worldwide on all 5 continents.
“HAPPYDEMIC”was the first World Laughter Day gathering outside India.It took place on 9th January，two years after the Mumbai gathering. In Copenhagen，Denmark，more than 10，000 people gathered at Town Hall Square.The event went into Guinness Book of World Records.“World Laughter Day”is now organized on the first Sunday of May every year，hundreds of people gather worldwide on that day to laugh together.
Today，many people fear widespread international terrorism.The world has never faced so much unrest before.People are at war within themselves.Laughter is a universal language，which has the ability to unite humanity without religion.Laughter can build a common connection between various religions and create a new world order.The idea may sound over-ambitious(野心太大的)，and maybe it is.But maybe it is not.It is our deep belief that laughter and only laughter can unite the world，building up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship.
Studies also say that laughter helps your body do the following：lower blood pressure；lighten depression; reduce stress; work out the heart，especially for those who are unable to perform physical exercise.So in life，when you can laugh，you should laugh loudly and with your entire body—because it's good for you.

Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg.I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended，as there are a whole lot of antique shops near my home.So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me.I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception.I was quite wrong.The man wouldn't even look at my chair.
The second shop，though slightly more polite，was just the same，and the third and the fourth—so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper，“Would you like to buy a chair？”He looked it over carefully and said，“Yes，not a bad chair.How much do you want for it，sir？”“Twenty pounds，”I said.“OK，”he said，“I'll give you twenty pounds.”“It's got a slightly broken leg，”I said.“Yes，I saw that，it's nothing.”
Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it？”I asked.“Oh，it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.”“I'll buy it，”I said.“What do you mean？You've just sold it to me”，he said.“Yes，I know but I've changed my mind.I am sorry.I'll give you twenty-three pounds for it.”“You must be crazy，”he said. Then，suddenly the penny dropped．“I know what you want.You want me to repair your chair.”“You're right，”I said.“And what would you have done if I had walked in and said，‘Would you mend this chair for me？’”．“I wouldn't have agreed to do it，” he said.“We don't do repairs，not enough money in it and too much trouble.But I'll mend this for you，shall we say for a fiver (five pounds)？”He was a very nice man and was greatly amused (感到有趣) by the whole thing.
