Laughter is one of the first sounds a baby makes, long before it can speak. Babies laugh hundreds of times a day, and their laughter fills a room with joy. Sadly, as we grow older, this natural joy slowly fades. 1________ Yet humour is not just a way to have fun; it is good for us in body and mind.
When we laugh, our body releases chemicals that make us feel happy and reduce pain. Even the muscles in our face and stomach get a workout. 2________ Laughter also improves blood flow and strengthens the immune system, which helps us fight off illness. In other words, a good laugh is like a gentle exercise for the whole body.
Humour is also a kind of social glue. 3________ When people share a laugh, they feel closer to each other and are more willing to help one another. In a team, a sense of humour can reduce tension and make difficult work feel lighter. Laughing together at a shared joke can build trust more quickly than a long conversation.
Humour can even help us in awkward situations. 4________ A light-hearted comment can turn an embarrassing moment into a shared smile, and the problem suddenly seems much smaller than before.
Today, many doctors and teachers use humour as a tool. They have found that a joke can make a lesson or a treatment easier to accept, and that patients who laugh often recover with a better mood. 5________
Humour, then, is more than entertainment. It is a free and powerful tool that we can use every day, at home, at work and even in hospital. It costs nothing, yet it can change the mood of a whole room.
A. This simple act can help us relax and ease the physical effects of stress.
B. Yet scientific studies show that humour brings us real benefits.
C. It draws people together and makes friendships stronger.
D. In fact, adults laugh far less often than children do.
E. So when you are feeling low, looking for a reason to laugh may really help.
F. People who tell jokes are usually more popular than those who do not.
G. A shared joke can be an easy way to start a conversation with a stranger.
五、阅读理解
（一）
Amy had always been the funny one in her family. As a child, she loved making her cousins laugh at dinner, imitating teachers and inventing silly voices. Yet when she first stood on a real stage at nineteen, the audience sat in silence. She told her best jokes, but nobody laughed. That night, she went home in tears and nearly gave up.
Instead, she began to study comedy seriously. She watched recordings of famous comedians and wrote down how they timed their words and used pauses. She also started performing at small clubs, sometimes for only five people. Each time, she noted which jokes worked and which did not. Slowly, she learned to connect with a crowd rather than just recite lines.
Her big chance came at a comedy festival. She was nervous, but she remembered the lessons from hundreds of small shows. She slowed down, looked at the audience, and told stories about her own mistakes. This time, people laughed, and they kept laughing. The performance won her a place in the final and changed her career.
Today Amy is a well-known comedian, but she has not forgotten that silent first night. She often tells young performers that talent is not enough, and that failure can be the best teacher. 'Comedy,' she says, 'looks easy only because the hard work is invisible. The audience sees a confident smile, but behind it are years of practice and hundreds of quiet, difficult evenings.'

A. Amy's success came only from luck.
B. The festival was not important to her.

D. Amy's preparation helped her succeed.
5.What is Amy's message to young performers
A. Talent alone is not enough; hard work matters.
B. Comedians are born, not made.
C. A confident smile is the most important thing.
D. Small clubs are better than big festivals.
（二）
No matter how busy your day is, a few minutes of laughter can change how you feel. Doctors and scientists have long been interested in the connection between humour and stress. Their studies suggest that laughter is not simply a pleasant break; it is a real tool for coping with pressure.
When we feel stressed, our body releases chemicals that prepare us to fight or run away. This response is helpful in real danger, but if it lasts too long, it begins to harm our health. Laughter seems to work in the opposite way: it lowers those stress chemicals and helps the body return to a calmer state.
Humour also changes the way we look at a problem. A situation that once seemed frightening can feel less serious when we find something funny in it. This is why some doctors encourage patients to watch comedies or share jokes during treatment. A good laugh does not remove the problem, but it can make it easier to face.
Humour can also make us feel more connected to others. When we laugh together, we feel understood and less alone, and this support protects us from stress. People who joke with friends often report a better mood and a more positive attitude towards life.
Of course, humour is not a cure for everything. It cannot replace medical help or a serious conversation with someone we trust. But used wisely, it is a cheap and powerful way to make hard times easier to bear.

A. It is only a pleasant break from work.

8.According to the passage, what can humour NOT do
A. Make a problem easier to face.

D. Make us feel less alone.
9.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Humour is useless when we are ill.
B. Humour works best together with real help.
C. We should never trust a doctor.
D. Laughter is too expensive to use.
10.What is the main idea of the passage

C. Laughter is the only way to feel happy.
