(2024·河南商开高二期末大联考)
Ever since I can remember，I have always enjoyed making myself and others laugh.Humor has always played an important role in my life as it was key in helping me develop my personality and outlook on life through childhood.
However，what I failed to comprehend was the underlying reasons or mechanisms through which humor could enhance my self-esteem.Driven by curiosity，I embarked on a quest to unravel the intricate relationship between humor and our overall well-being，with a particular focus on whether or not it could serve as a potent catalyst for a longer and more fulfilling life.
Through my extensive exploration，I uncovered a vast array of intricate mechanisms by which humor exerts its profound influence on our emotional and physiological well-being.These mechanisms are as diverse as they are fascinating，encompassing a wide range of biological，psychological，and social processes that work in tandem to create the gamut of effects humor can have on our minds and bodies.These advantages can be broadly categorized into two distinct time frames：short-term and long-term.
One example of the short-term benefits of humor would be that laughter induces relaxation.It gets many muscles moving in your body.One reason why muscles get tense is lack of oxygen flow.Once you laugh as a response to humor，it increases the flow of oxygen to the muscles，resulting in a more relaxed and more energy-filled body.Another short-term benefit is that laughter causes pain relief.This is achieved by intense stimulation of organs in the body，which leads to increased circulation and blood flow.
As for the long-term effects，they can be just as rewarding.For example，one thing laughter can do in the long run is improve the overall health of the heart.This happens because，like stated earlier，laughter increases blood flow.Since the heart is the organ that regulates all blood flow in the body，naturally the heart becomes strengthened.One last long-term benefit from humor is that it can reduce stress levels and boost the immune system.
1．What benefit of humor does the author mention in the first paragraph

When it comes to risky behavior，adolescence is the perfect storm.In fact，teens are hardwired to seek challenge.According to a study by University College London (UCL)，risk-taking behavior peaks(达到顶点) during adolescence.As an adolescent’s social-emotional system matures，they long for stimulation and teen challenge.
Moreover，the study found that teens took risks because they enjoyed the thrill.In fact，they often understood the consequences of their behavior.However，the desire to take risks was stronger than their common sense.That’s because the teen brain is not fully developed.Therefore，the areas controlling impulses(冲动) and decision-making are still immature.
The study involved adolescents and adults aged 9 to 35 years.Participants chose between risky and safe options in a computer gambling game.Scientists found that the teenagers took the most risks compared with the other groups.In fact,14-year-old teens demonstrated the most risky behavior.In other words，they were constantly seeking challenge and excitement.
In another study at the University of Texas at Austin，participants aged 8 to 30 were given money as a reward for correctly identifying an image.Scientists measured how their brains responded when they found out whether their answers were right or wrong.The teenagers’ brains released the highest levels of dopamine，a chemical associated with pleasure.Dopamine motivates the brain to seek rewards and is linked to addiction.Thus，the researchers concluded that teens are more willing to take risks in order to experience rewards.
Risk-taking isn’t always a bad thing if it takes place within safe boundaries.In fact，a certain level of safe，positive risk-taking is essential for teens to develop their sense of self and gain self-esteem(自尊)．Healthy risk-taking activities include playing sports，outdoor adventures，performing on stage，and reaching out to make new friends.
In conclusion，there’s no getting around it：Teens will always seek thrills and push the limits.They’re made that way.But parents can help them find healthy challenges that support growth and reduce risk.
