Laughter is part of the human language around the world. Unlike English or French, we don’t have to learn to speak it, and we’re born with the ability to laugh. Studies show that the first laughter appears at about 3.5 to 4months of age, long before we’re able to speak.
As the saying goes, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free and easy to use. Nothing works faster to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. It helps relax your whole body leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes. Laughter also helps you fight against diseases. It can improve the function of blood vessels (血管)and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack.
And the good feeling you get when you laugh remains with you even a few minutes later. It helps you keep a positive, optimistic attitude toward difficult situations, disappointments and losses. Laughter gives you the strength to find new sources of meaning and hope. Even in the most difficult days, a laugh or even simply a smile can go a long way toward making you feel better.
Shared laughter is one of the most effective tools for keeping relationships fresh and exciting. And it helps build strong and lasting relationships, and it unites people during difficult times. So it’s necessary to create opportunities to laugh with others. More often, people are very happy to share something funny because it gives them an opportunity to laugh again. When you hear laughter, find it out and ask. “What’s funny ” And you can make time for fun activities such as bowling, golfing or karaoke.
In short, the ability to laugh and have fun not only makes life more enjoyable but also helps you solve problems, connect with others, and be more creative. The more laughter there is, the more benefits you’ll receive.

Should we focus on our goal, or on the process
What happened to Brenda Martinez, a US Olympic runner, may provide us with the answer. She lost her balance in the 800 m race and failed to qualify for the Olympics. Focusing on everything that would give her another chance, she quickly let go of what happened in the 800m race and got back to her routine. A week later, she won the third place in the 1500 m race to qualify for the Olympics in Rio. Instead of attaching herself to the goal of making the Olympic team, she concentrated on the process.
Generally, overemphasizing goals based on ultimate outcomes often leads to risk-taking, unethical (不道德的) behavior and reduced motivation. We see this happen in the real world all the time: someone becomes driven by the external rewards and recognition that he hopes accomplishing his goal will bring, and, in the worst case, he’ll go to any extreme to achieve it such as taking harmful diet pills to lose weight or using banned drugs in a competition. These are all predictable side effects of overemphasizing goals.
Another danger of only focusing on goals is giving up all the merits after completing them. For example, some marathon runners experience what’s called the “post-race blues”. Achieving their goal may cause them to drop the good habits that got them there. Dieters often experience this in what’s called “yo-yo dieting”—gaining all the weight back while resuming their bad habits after they drop down to a desired weight.
However, focusing on the process will help you to achieve little victories on your way to achieving long-term goals and leave you with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, regardless of the ultimate outcome. It means breaking down a goal into little parts and concentrating on those parts. For Martinez, this meant not worrying about her bad luck in the 800m race, but rather ensuring she got in the right nutrition, sleep and workouts to give herself the best chance to run a good race in the 1500m race.
Therefore, after you set a goal, it’s best to shift your focus from the goal itself to the process that gives you the best chance of achieving the goal, and to judge yourself based on how well you do in the process.
32. With a question at the beginning of the passage, the author intends to ________.
A. enhance the persuasion
B. persuade readers to accept his views
C. provide convincing evidence
D. inspire readers to reflect on the topic
33. Brenda Martinez’s example shows that ________.
A. it is important to set big goals
B. failure is the mother of success
C. focusing on the process can lead to success
D. opportunity favors the prepared mind
34. What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3 and 4
A. Giving too much attention to goals can bring about harmful effects.
B. Post-race blues is sure to happen after a marathon race.
C. In order to achieve the goals people can adopt aggressive behavior.
D. It is normal to feel down after achieving the goal.
35. According to the author, what benefits can we obtain by focusing on the process
A. Avoiding failure during the process.
B. Gaining a sense of satisfaction by achieving small targets.
C. Reducing some unpredictable risk.
D. Ensuring enough sleep and good mood.

Living Well with Others

This article will cover some ideas you may want to consider.
