26、Do you want to live a happier, less stressful(有压力的) life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how millions of people start their day at Laughter(笑声) Clubs around the world and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.
The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria.“Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr. Kataria. “Everyone is naturally good at laughing—it’s the common language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 in the world.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects(效果) of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest, I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking silly. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results.

C. many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health
D. real laughter and unreal laughter are both good for health
27、 Inventions All Around Us
Every invention has a story. These stories often have a lesson to teach, too. Here are the stories of some everyday household inventions.
Canned Food and the Can Opener—Get It Right!
Peter Durand invented canned food in 1810, but there was a problem. Durand didn't have a good way to open the cans. In 1858, Ezra Warner invented a can opener. It used a piece of metal to cut and remove the top from the can, but it was difficult to use. Finally, in 1870, William Lyman added a wheel to the can opener. The metal went around the top of the can and removed it easily. Finally, people were able to open cans without a lot of work. Canned food was soon popular.
Frozen Food—A Little Good Luck Can Help!
Clarence Birdseye had the chance to go on a trip toe Arctic. When people there caught fish, they put the fish in a container (容器) of ice to freeze it quickly. When people cooked the fish later, it was still good! This gave Birdseye an idea. He thought people could also have this kind of food at home. In 1926, Birdseye invented frozen food. People were able to store food in freezers for a long time.
Air Conditioning—One Answer to Two Problems!
Printing companies make books, so they use a lot of paper. Sometimes, changes in the weather can hurt the paper. In 1902, Willis Carrier invented air conditioning to control the temperature inside his printing company. This saved the paper. People soon realized other benefits of air conditioning. They started to air condition their homes in the summer. Carrier's invention changed the world!

28、 I am sitting in an empty football field after my last school football game that finished a few hours ago. I’m the mid-field player in my team. But in fact that’s not true now. I’m not the mid-field player now b【1】 this was my last game. It’s good to end a high school football career (职业生涯) at a high point.
I was eight years old when I first started playing football. My dad loved football, and he used to p【2】 with me at home—passing, catching, running. We used to practise almost every morning u【3】 it got too dark. He tried to teach me everything he knew about the game. “Just remember: don’t ever give up.” Well, that was a long time ago, but I still hear his words ringing in my e【4】.
I had a lot in my mind before the game today. I don’t like things to end, I guess, and this was the last game. I was talking to m【5】 and warning myself about what to do and not to do. I didn’t sleep at all last night. But I knew it was time for it to be over. But then when the game started, my mind became e【6】. I just lived in this game, this moment. I didn’t hear the crowd, I didn’t f【7】 the cold or the pain, and I never felt tired. I just kept my eyes on the ball all the time. In my heart, a soft, white light showed me the way t【8】 the goal (球门). It was a beautiful, empty feeling.
It’s all over now, and it’s really getting c【9】 here. It’s starting to snow. The sun’s almost gone, and I can h【10】 see the goal. Now it’s dark and I’m sitting here all alone. Well, I guess it’s time to say good-bye and move on.
