Secret to Happiness
There’s a Chinese saying that goes, “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap (小睡). If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, become wealthy by chance. 1 ” Helping others by giving may be the secret to a happy, healthy life. The more you give, the more you’ll gain. The key is to find a method that works for you. 2
Find your love. 3 You might feel bad if you are doing something you don’t like. You will feel great when you put your love into giving.
Give your time. The gift of time is often more valuable to the receiver, and more satisfying to the giver, than money. People don’t all have the same amount (数量) of money, but everyone as time. 4 It can be just a few hours a day, or a few days a year.
Be active. Take every chance to serve your community. You are free to choose what you want to do. Make full use of services that match your values.
5 You can easily get used to selfless giving. When you give, make sure to keep our own needs in mind. You matter, too!
All in all, by proper giving, you can gain purpose, meaning and happiness—all of the things at people look for in life but are so hard to find.
A．Don’t forget about yourself.
B．Here is some advice that you can take.
C．You can give some of this time to help others.
D．If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.
E．But sometimes you are not sure where money is going.
F．Your giving should not be from orders but come out of love.

The study shows bright colors can support students’ learning performance by positively affecting psychological (心理的) and physiological (生理的) states. If the tasks are difficult, the bright color conditions can make you in the best state. 3

（24-25九年级上·江苏南通·阶段练习）请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Are you an “I person” or an “E person” 1 They are part of a popular personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI. All of the results have four letters, and there are 16 results in total. “I” and “E” refer to “introverted” (内向) and “extroverted” (外向).
2 For example, when an introverted person is with a group of extroverted friends, he might become more social like an “E” person.
According to scientists, this idea of temporarily (临时地) changing personalities is called “masking”. 3 “Human beings want to feel they belong, and they might become people-pleasers to do so,” wrote the Master Class website.
Using the MBTI result to describe someone’s personality seems fun. However, I went too far at one time. My sister was excitedly making a day-to-day travel plan. I thought of an article that “P people” don’t like to make or stick to plans, so I said to her, “You don’t seem like a ‘P person’. ” “Why ” she asked back. “Must I follow what my personality test tells me to do ” 4
The MBTI personality test may show something you don’t know about yourself and can even be a fun ice-breaker question when meeting new friends. And that’s all it is—for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person. 5
A．Besides, don’t let the result of the test limit who you are.
B．That is hiding your true personality in specific situations.
C．It was then I realized I’d taken the result too seriously.
D．These two personalities are widely discussed online.
E．No matter if we are introverted or Extroverted, we all need to understand each other.
F．Even if someone is quiet, many online discussions suggest an “I” person may act outgoing.
【答案】1．D 2．F 3．B 4．C 5．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了MBTI性格测试。
1．根据上文“Are you an ‘I person’ or an ‘E person’ ”可知，此句提到了“I”人和“E”人，故D选项“这两种性格在网上被广泛讨论”符合语境。故选D。
2．根据下文“For example, when an introverted person is with a group of extroverted friends, he might become more social like an ‘E’ person.”可知，此句提到了性格变化，故F选项“即使有人很安静，许多网上讨论表明‘I’人可能表现得很外向。”符合语境。故选F。
3．根据上文“According to scientists, this idea of temporarily (临时地) changing personalities is called ‘masking’.”可知，此句提到了暂时改变性格的想法被称为“掩蔽”，故B选项“那就是在特定的情况下隐藏自己的真实性格。”符合语境。故选B。
4．根据上文“‘Must I follow what my personality test tells me to do ’”可知，此句提到了性格测试，故C选项“就在那时，我意识到我把结果看的太重了。”符合语境。故选C。
5．根据上文“Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person.”可知，此句提到了“MBTI”，故A选项“此外，不要让测试结果限制了你的身份。”符合语境。故选A。

Most of us have learned the virtue (美德) of honesty from some stories. The story of Pinocchio teaches the importance of telling the truth to us. Every time Pinocchio lies, his nose grows longer. These types of stories show children that “honesty is the best”. 1 The fact is that people lie for many reasons.
One reason people lie is to hide a mistake. While it is true that everyone does something wrong from time to time, some people do not have the courage to admit their mistakes because they are afraid that they will be blamed (责备). For example, students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework. They might say that they left the homework at home. 2 These students do not want to get in trouble, so they make up an excuse.
3 Parents, particularly those with young children, may teach their children to use this type of “protective” lie in certain circumstances (状况). 4 Many parents teach their children to explain that their mother and father are too busy to come to the phone at that time. In this situation, a protective lie can mean greater safety.
5 Lying to keep the peace or to stay safe can have positive results. However, lying to stay out of trouble can lead to more trouble in the end. Understanding the motives behind the impulse (冲动) to lie might minimize this habit of lying.
A．In fact, they did not do the homework at all.
B．But why do so many people lie
C．People lie for many reasons, both good and bad.
D．What should children do if a stranger calls while their parents are out
E．Another reason for lying has to do with self-protection.
F．The protective lies are useful and necessary for children.
【答案】1．B 2．A 3．E 4．D 5．C
【导语】本文主要介绍了人们说谎的原因。了解说谎冲动背后的动机可能会减少这种说谎的习惯。
1．根据“These types of stories show children that ‘honesty is the best’”和“The fact is that people lie for many reasons”可知，此处应询问人们为什么说谎。选项B“但为什么有那么多人撒谎呢？”符合语境。故选B。
2．根据“For example, students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework. They might say that they left the homework at home...These students do not want to get in trouble, so they make up an excuse”可知，学生可能会在未完成的作业上对老师撒谎。他们可能会说他们把作业忘在家里了。这些学生不想惹麻烦，所以他们编了一个借口，故此处内容应与作业相关。选项A“事实上，他们根本就没有做作业。”符合语境。故选A。
3．根据“Parents, particularly those with young children, may teach their children to use this type of ‘protective’ lie in certain circumstances (状况)”可知，父母，特别是有小孩的父母，可能会教他们的孩子在某些情况下使用这种“保护性”谎言，故此处是说明说谎的原因之一是为了保护自己。选项E“说谎的另一个原因与自我保护有关。”符合语境。故选E。
4．根据“Many parents teach their children to explain that their mother and father are too busy to come to the phone at that time. In this situation, a protective lie can mean greater safety”可知，许多父母教他们的孩子解释说，他们的父母太忙了，没有时间来接电话。在这种情况下，保护性的谎言意味着更大的安全，故此处内容应与接电话相关。选项D“如果父母不在家时有陌生人打来电话，孩子该怎么办？”符合语境。故选D。
5．根据“Lying to keep the peace or to stay safe can have positive results. However, lying to stay out of trouble can lead to more trouble in the end”可知，为了保持和平或安全而撒谎可以产生积极的结果。然而，为了避免麻烦而撒谎最终会导致更多的麻烦。故此处应介绍撒谎的原因有好有坏。选项C“人们说谎的原因很多，有好的也有坏的。”符合语境。故选C。

Friends are important in our lives. But not all of friends stand the test of time. We spoke about friendships with Marisa Franco, writer of the book How Can You Make And Keep Friends.
1
Accept changes in life
2 Things just keep coming and going. Franco said: “Nobody really wants the friendship to end, but people get busy and can’t keep the friendship any more.” It doesn’t mean we are not qualified (合格的) friends. Instead, it makes us value what we have at present.
3
“When being with friends, the relationship will get worse if you keep leaving something unsaid instead of communicating with each other positively (积极地).” Franco said. We might be afraid of having arguments. But if we think about it and talk in peace, it can be a sign that you care enough to fix the friendship.
Allow yourself to feel sad
Normally, when a friendship ends, there is a process of feeling sad. Allow yourself to feel those emotions and be patient with yourself. The way society views friendships may make your sadness last longer. When a friendship ends, you are questioned, “Sorry for your loss, but why are you still in a bad mood ” Then you think “Is it wrong to feel sad ” 4 Of course, you are upset, which means you love your friend deeply. “And you can’t put a timeline on your sadness. Sadness is just a process of feeling emotion over time.” Franco said.
Be kind to yourself along the way
It’s important to forgive (原谅) yourself for not getting over the loss of a friendship. 5 But don’t go into a new friendship feeling afraid. “Your understanding of friendship in your brain isn’t just colored by this one experience.” Franco said.
A．Make the unsaid said.
B．Losing friends is a part of life.
C．Solve problems as quickly as possible.
D．One way to make you feel better again is to make new friends.
E．Come on, you lost someone you are close to.
F．Here are four tips to remember if you’re losing a friend.
【答案】1．F 2．B 3．A 4．E 5．D
【导语】本文主要介绍了几种方法帮助人们更好地从失去友谊的悲伤中走出来。

2．根据本段小标题“Accept changes in life”及后文“Things just keep coming and going.”可知，此处介绍失去友谊是正常的，B项 “失去朋友是生活的一部分”，符合语境，故选B。
3．根据本段介绍了和朋友有话不说可能会使得友谊变更糟糕，而平静地交谈可能代表你很想修复友谊，所以此处小标题应该是建议朋友间要多沟通交流，A项 “把未说出口的话说出来”，符合语境，故选A。
4．根据后文“Of course, you are upset, which means you love your friend deeply.”可知，此处在介绍引起沮丧的事实，E项“是呀，你失去了一位亲近的人。”，符合语境，故选E。
5．根据后文“But don’t go into a new friendship feeling afraid.”可知，此处提及交新的朋友，D项 “让你再次感觉更好的一种方法就是结交新朋友”，符合语境，故选D。

No matter if you’re a morning or night person, when you wake up, your brain is ready to learn. Scientists have found that in the morning, the part of our brain that helps us make decisions and stay focused works better. 1 Here are three key points:
Making the first step easy
Starting your day can be hard, especially when your mind is still waking up. Personally, I’m always unable to think clearly after waking up, and the last thing I can think of doing is packing my bag or choosing what to wear for the day. 2 In this way, you can focus on your morning tasks without feeling stressed. 3
To set the scene for your morning, place things in your bedroom that encourage you to start. For example, if you plan to read in the morning, keep a book near your bed. Similarly, if you want to limit your time on social media, make it harder to get to your phone by changing your phone settings.
Dividing the task
Besides focusing on the first step of a given task, dividing the task into smaller stops will not only increase the chances of it getting done, but also have a positive mental effect.
4 For example, if you have a big task like writing a paper that can’t be done all at once, you can use fixed morning time to finish it. It’s worth mentioning that the time can be changed to fit your needs.
In short, making a morning plan that helps you succeed means planning carefully and staying organized. 5 Don’t forget to make small changes if it’s necessary. With these tips, you’ll start your day off right, and mach your goals easily.
A．Environmental design for your morning plan.
B．It’s also useful to divide the time instead of the task.
C．So how do you design a morning plan that will lead to a perfect day
D．Also, keep trying different things until you find what works best for you.
E．What are the best ways to wake up our brain and make it ready to learn
F．That’s why it’s helpful to pre-plan and prepare everything the night before.

Part of growing up is learning how to work things out for yourself. However, when you’re feeling upset, puzzled or lost, you don’t have to fight alone.
· 1
There are lots of reasons why you could need help, for example, with schoolwork, solving a disagreement, learning a new skill, or when you feel sad, anxious or angry. Feeling down because you’re finding something difficult, or it’s taking a long time to make progress, can also make you feel like you can’t do it. 2 When you’re fighting with something but you tell yourself you should be able to do it on your own, asking for help will move you forward more quickly than trying on your own.
·What stops you asking for help
3 It can be tricky if you’re not sure who to ask. You might think they haven’t got the time. If you think asking for a helping hand is a sign of weakness, it makes it harder to turn to another person. An expert says asking for help can feel risky. “We may feel scared that it won’t be taken seriously or that it isn’t a big deal to the other person or even that they won’t know what to say.”
· 4
Everyone finds things difficult sometimes. Experts believe asking for help is an act of bravery. “Letting someone in, trusting them with your story and asking them to listen to you and help you come up with ideas of how to deal with a problem takes great courage. When you ask for help, it takes the pressure off.” 5 By asking for help, you practise speaking up for yourself and saying what you need. It also shows you how someone else might feel when they’re fighting, which means you could be more able to offer a helping hand when someone needs it.
A．Asking for support is brave
B．When you might need help
C．There are other benefits too.
D．Asking for help isn’t always easy.
E．Asking for help would be smart choice.
F．All signs that you need help

Most people love animals. Many children’s books use animals as the main characters. 1 The love for animals may be why both children and adults enjoy going to zoos.
Zoo visiting goes back to ancient times. In the past, zoos were usually started by rich people. 2 At that time, raising animals was a way for people to show their wealth and power. Sadly, the animals in the early zoos were not treated well. They didn’t receive enough attention or care. So many of them died or got ill.
Today, zoos still bring people pleasure, but they are set up to protect animals and teach people as well. 3 For example, people must provide animals with a clean place to live, food and water, and health care. Besides, the visitors are not allowed to feed the animals with their own food. In this way, the rules help protect the animals well.
4 They want to do more to protect animals they love. Some of them were against the use of some large animals in shows. They thought the zoos didn’t have enough space for the animals to show. They also thought the animals were not treated properly. With so many people against the shows, some zoos stopped them.
People see animals in zoos. 5 Both people and animals can get a lot from each other. In this way, people could live in harmony with animals.
A．Animals don’t like living in zoos.

Do you have a pet If you do, you must be an animal lover. Pets bring us more than we can imagine.
According to a report, people who have pets usually have a better physical condition than those who don’t. 1 These advantages may come from the exercise of walking and playing with pets.
One study shows that petting animals can help those who are under stress relax while animal toys can’t help people with this. 2
In a study published in the journal Gerontology, old people who were given five crickets (蟋蟀) in a cage became happier than before.
Other research studied pets’ influence on children who have difficulty reading. 3 “Their opinions change and their skills improve,” says Lisa Freeman, director of the Tufts Institute for Human-Animal Interaction in the United States. 4 When staying with their pets, children don’t need to be judged (评价) by their behaviors or grades. Experts said that pets give children the feeling of being accepted.
By keeping a pet, children can also learn to be responsible. 5 They can’t just throw them away after playing with them. Besides feeding and cleaning them, they need to care for them just as parents do for them.
A．They will know that pets are their friends rather than their toys.
B．Whether it is a gold fish, a dog or a cat, it can be with the old for a long time.
C．That’s because pet owners can have less stress by having a good animal friend.
D．For most shy children, keeping a pet is a good way to increase their confidence.
E．They usually have lower blood pressure and a lower risk of having heart problems.
F．When the children were asked to read aloud to a trained dog, they were less nervous.

2．根据“One study shows that petting animals can help those who are under stress relax while animal toys can’t help people with this.”可知研究表明，抚摸动物可以帮助那些处于压力下的人放松，而动物玩具却不能帮助人们做到这一点，C项中的“stress”和设空前的“stress”相呼应。C项“那是因为养宠物的人可以因为有一个好的动物朋友而减少压力。”解释了上文提到的原因，符合文意，故选C。
3．根据“Other research studied pets’ influence on children who have difficulty reading.”可知其他研究研究了宠物对阅读困难儿童的影响。F项中的“children...read aloud”和设空前的“children who have difficulty reading”相呼应。选项F“当孩子们被要求给一只经过训练的狗大声朗读时，他们就不那么紧张了。”符合文意，故选F。

What things make you let out a laugh There are many things that make us laugh. 1 We do it because we find something humorous or it may be simply because we’re just in good heart! Scientists have been looking at why we do it and what good it does.
2 When we do it, we make very strange noises. Most of the time our laughter can easily influence others. Scientist Sophie Scott said that it’s “a social emotion (情绪)”. She introduces two kinds of laughter. One is called spontaneous (自发的) laughter, which means we laugh uncontrollably as soon as we hear or see something. 3 It happens when we talk and laugh together with friends. Research found people laugh seven times for every ten minutes of conversation.
A programme examined the science of laughter. It found we use laughter to show others that we’re playful and friendly. 4 Also, people outside of our social group can understand the relationship between the laughers by the sound of our laughter.
While our health is no laughing matter, research has found good laughter can help our body and mind. It can make us feel good and relaxed. 5 That’s why laughter therapy (疗法) is being used as a kind of treatment. But generally, our ability to laugh is out of our control. When you start doing it, just let it happen naturally and others will join in.
A．The laughter can make us feel being needed.
B．The other is called conversational laughter.
C．This natural action shows that we are happy.

Food from tourists may make pandas sick. Giant pandas eat about 20 kilos of bamboo and bamboo shoots a day. To make sure that the pandas’ diet is healthy, their food sources (来源) are watched. 3 Even common foods like carrots can carry bacteria (细菌). Humans also carry bacteria, and they can put pandas’ health at risk.
4 Tourists’ behaviours may mess up their habits and even scare them. Imagine being in the middle of a meal and people start shouting or throwing things at you. In these cases, some pandas may feel scared. 5 It’s important to keep in mind that these animals need special care with their food and their living environment.
A．Bamboo is giant pandas’ favourite food.

Secret to Happiness
There’s a Chinese saying that goes, “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap (小睡). If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, become wealthy by chance. 1 ” Helping others by giving may be the secret to a happy, healthy life. The more you give, the more you’ll gain. The key is to find a method that works for you. 2
Find your love. 3 You might feel bad if you are doing something you don’t like. You will feel great when you put your love into giving.

Be active. Take every chance to serve your community. You are free to choose what you want to do. Make full use of services that match your values.
5 You can easily get used to selfless giving. When you give, make sure to keep our own needs in mind. You matter, too!
All in all, by proper giving, you can gain purpose, meaning and happiness—all of the things at people look for in life but are so hard to find.

C．You can give some of this time to help others.

Are you an “I person” or an “E person” 1 They are part of a popular personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI. All of the results have four letters, and there are 16 results in total. “I” and “E” refer to “introverted” (内向) and “extroverted” (外向).
2 For example, when an introverted person is with a group of extroverted friends, he might become more social like an “E” person.
According to scientists, this idea of temporarily (临时地) changing personalities is called “masking”. 3 “Human beings want to feel they belong, and they might become people-pleasers to do so,” wrote the Master Class website.
Using the MBTI result to describe someone’s personality seems fun. However, I went too far at one time. My sister was excitedly making a day-to-day travel plan. I thought of an article that “P people” don’t like to make or stick to plans, so I said to her, “You don’t seem like a ‘P person’. ” “Why ” she asked back. “Must I follow what my personality test tells me to do ” 4
The MBTI personality test may show something you don’t know about yourself and can even be a fun ice-breaker question when meeting new friends. And that’s all it is—for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person. 5
A．Besides, don’t let the result of the test limit who you are.
B．That is hiding your true personality in specific situations.
C．It was then I realized I’d taken the result too seriously.
D．These two personalities are widely discussed online.
E．No matter if we are introverted or Extroverted, we all need to understand each other.
F．Even if someone is quiet, many online discussions suggest an “I” person may act outgoing.

Most of us have learned the virtue (美德) of honesty from some stories. The story of Pinocchio teaches the importance of telling the truth to us. Every time Pinocchio lies, his nose grows longer. These types of stories show children that “honesty is the best”. 1 The fact is that people lie for many reasons.
One reason people lie is to hide a mistake. While it is true that everyone does something wrong from time to time, some people do not have the courage to admit their mistakes because they are afraid that they will be blamed (责备). For example, students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework. They might say that they left the homework at home. 2 These students do not want to get in trouble, so they make up an excuse.
3 Parents, particularly those with young children, may teach their children to use this type of “protective” lie in certain circumstances (状况). 4 Many parents teach their children to explain that their mother and father are too busy to come to the phone at that time. In this situation, a protective lie can mean greater safety.
5 Lying to keep the peace or to stay safe can have positive results. However, lying to stay out of trouble can lead to more trouble in the end. Understanding the motives behind the impulse (冲动) to lie might minimize this habit of lying.
A．In fact, they did not do the homework at all.
B．But why do so many people lie
C．People lie for many reasons, both good and bad.
D．What should children do if a stranger calls while their parents are out
E．Another reason for lying has to do with self-protection.
F．The protective lies are useful and necessary for children.

Friends are important in our lives. But not all of friends stand the test of time. We spoke about friendships with Marisa Franco, writer of the book How Can You Make And Keep Friends.
1
Accept changes in life
2 Things just keep coming and going. Franco said: “Nobody really wants the friendship to end, but people get busy and can’t keep the friendship any more.” It doesn’t mean we are not qualified (合格的) friends. Instead, it makes us value what we have at present.
3
“When being with friends, the relationship will get worse if you keep leaving something unsaid instead of communicating with each other positively (积极地).” Franco said. We might be afraid of having arguments. But if we think about it and talk in peace, it can be a sign that you care enough to fix the friendship.
Allow yourself to feel sad
Normally, when a friendship ends, there is a process of feeling sad. Allow yourself to feel those emotions and be patient with yourself. The way society views friendships may make your sadness last longer. When a friendship ends, you are questioned, “Sorry for your loss, but why are you still in a bad mood ” Then you think “Is it wrong to feel sad ” 4 Of course, you are upset, which means you love your friend deeply. “And you can’t put a timeline on your sadness. Sadness is just a process of feeling emotion over time.” Franco said.
Be kind to yourself along the way
It’s important to forgive (原谅) yourself for not getting over the loss of a friendship. 5 But don’t go into a new friendship feeling afraid. “Your understanding of friendship in your brain isn’t just colored by this one experience.” Franco said.
A．Make the unsaid said.
B．Losing friends is a part of life.
C．Solve problems as quickly as possible.
D．One way to make you feel better again is to make new friends.

No matter if you’re a morning or night person, when you wake up, your brain is ready to learn. Scientists have found that in the morning, the part of our brain that helps us make decisions and stay focused works better. 1 Here are three key points:
Making the first step easy
Starting your day can be hard, especially when your mind is still waking up. Personally, I’m always unable to think clearly after waking up, and the last thing I can think of doing is packing my bag or choosing what to wear for the day. 2 In this way, you can focus on your morning tasks without feeling stressed. 3
To set the scene for your morning, place things in your bedroom that encourage you to start. For example, if you plan to read in the morning, keep a book near your bed. Similarly, if you want to limit your time on social media, make it harder to get to your phone by changing your phone settings.

There are lots of reasons why you could need help, for example, with schoolwork, solving a disagreement, learning a new skill, or when you feel sad, anxious or angry. Feeling down because you’re finding something difficult, or it’s taking a long time to make progress, can also make you feel like you can’t do it. 2 When you’re fighting with something but you tell yourself you should be able to do it on your own, asking for help will move you forward more quickly than trying on your own.
·What stops you asking for help
3 It can be tricky if you’re not sure who to ask. You might think they haven’t got the time. If you think asking for a helping hand is a sign of weakness, it makes it harder to turn to another person. An expert says asking for help can feel risky. “We may feel scared that it won’t be taken seriously or that it isn’t a big deal to the other person or even that they won’t know what to say.”

Everyone finds things difficult sometimes. Experts believe asking for help is an act of bravery. “Letting someone in, trusting them with your story and asking them to listen to you and help you come up with ideas of how to deal with a problem takes great courage.

Do you have a pet If you do, you must be an animal lover. Pets bring us more than we can imagine.
According to a report, people who have pets usually have a better physical condition than those who don’t. 1 These advantages may come from the exercise of walking and playing with pets.
One study shows that petting animals can help those who are under stress relax while animal toys can’t help people with this. 2
In a study published in the journal Gerontology, old people who were given five crickets (蟋蟀) in a cage became happier than before.
Other research studied pets’ influence on children who have difficulty reading. 3 “Their opinions change and their skills improve,” says Lisa Freeman, director of the Tufts Institute for Human-Animal Interaction in the United States. 4 When staying with their pets, children don’t need to be judged (评价) by their behaviors or grades. Experts said that pets give children the feeling of being accepted.

What things make you let out a laugh There are many things that make us laugh. 1 We do it because we find something humorous or it may be simply because we’re just in good heart! Scientists have been looking at why we do it and what good it does.
2 When we do it, we make very strange noises. Most of the time our laughter can easily influence others. Scientist Sophie Scott said that it’s “a social emotion (情绪)”. She introduces two kinds of laughter. One is called spontaneous (自发的) laughter, which means we laugh uncontrollably as soon as we hear or see something. 3 It happens when we talk and laugh together with friends. Research found people laugh seven times for every ten minutes of conversation.
A programme examined the science of laughter. It found we use laughter to show others that we’re playful and friendly. 4 Also, people outside of our social group can understand the relationship between the laughers by the sound of our laughter.
While our health is no laughing matter, research has found good laughter can help our body and mind. It can make us feel good and relaxed. 5 That’s why laughter therapy (疗法) is being used as a kind of treatment. But generally, our ability to laugh is out of our control. When you start doing it, just let it happen naturally and others will join in.
A．The laughter can make us feel being needed.
B．The other is called conversational laughter.
C．This natural action shows that we are happy.
D．Laughter is a very common way of making sounds.
E．It also helps us manage pain and improve our health.
F．This serves to form and build up social relationships.
