Well, studies have long shown that laughter can have a positive effect both physically and emotionally. In South Korea, a nation more used to holding back its emotions, at least one hospital is encouraging patients to let loose on their regular basis.Laughing, for those cancer patients and their families, is a weekly exercise at Seoul National University hospital. It is something that does not come easy for them, but an hour of laughter therapy is all it takes to fight depression that often follows chemical treatment. Lim Song Li, a therapist at the hospital, was once a depression patient herself. She now is a laughter therapist and says when you laugh, blood vessels expand,and sugar levels drop, producing an abundance of hormones(激素)linked with happiness and pleasure. But in Korean culture, where Confucian tradition dominates(主导)social behavior,laughing is not a nature thing. Korean men are taught not to cry more than three times in their lifetime. And the sound of a Korean woman's laughter should not be heard outside the fence of her home. But inside this hospital,they are letting it out. By the end of the session, they make belief laughs somehow become their own.If laughing requires effort,more natural to Koreans, it is singing. The sing-song star therapist, famous for her therapy sessions to fight housewife depression, Jeong Ji Song says singing is an easier way to express inner feelings,especially for Korean women brought up in the conservative background. For some,these classes can be a stress-management tool,but for many more who suffer from depression, learning to sing out their heart can be a healing process.It not only helped Ying Seung Woo come out of severe depression, but also presented her with a new career. After taking up singing therapy, she found a talent in herself-cheer-leading.

The saying “Laughter is the best medicine” has deep meanings. Many scientists have stressed the importance of laughter, which can lead a healthy life.In ancient times, most Emperors and Kings had a clown to make them laugh. This improved the atmosphere and helped people to come closer. Almost every comedy has a character to make people laugh. Funny TV plays use recorded sounds of laughter at the proper place.It is a well-known fact that health and cheerfulness influence each other. Doctors and psychologists all agree that patients can actually benefit from laughter. Those who see the bright side of life and remain happy are unlikely to go down with stress-related problems.A good laugh is also a useful tool in the workplace. Nervousness is unavoidable in business, but humor is an unexpected surprise that can help people better deal with the nervousness. Researchers have found that the more stress people are under, the more they are ready to laugh. A good laugh is looked upon as an encouraging tool. After laughing, you can begin a new thought process; it helps to set the mind in a different way.Many cities in India have laughter clubs where people get together in the morning for laughing. There are over 200 such clubs in India, which were started in Mumbai. All kinds of fitness exercise, along with laughter skills, are combined into the program. This has become known as the laughter treatment. Until now, many sick people have benefited from it.Making people laugh is an art and can be cultivated.

I’d hear a joke and ask myself: why it got a laugh? What made it work? Could I ever make it as a comedian? But first I had to finish school and earn a living. After graduation, I worked as an accountant, managing the petty cash in the drawer. It was in this area that I developed my own very odd theory of accounting: If you got a couple of dollars , everything was okay(The theory never really caught on). Every day I’d have to check what was in the drawer with the receipts. It never balanced. At first I’d be tearing my hair out until I found the balance. Finally, one day I pulled the amount I was short of from my pocket and called it a day. Mr. Hutchinson, head of accounting, discovered my shortcut to balancing petty cash. he lectured me: “These are not sound accounting principles.” I said: “I’m not cut out for accounting. Why would you pay me $6 an hour to spend four hours finding $1.40?”Meanwhile, I often called my friend Ed Gallagher to kill boring afternoons, imitating things from my everyday world and identifying myself as plant manager of a yeast factory. “Sir”, it is Mr. Tomkins. We have a problem at your yeast factory. There’s a fire. I’d like you to hold on. Are you still there?”Ed Gallagher heard the routines and offered to provide the money to record them and send them to radio stations. Three wrote back asking how much we wanted .Soon I was on the air.Being a comedian is out of place with my intention, though. I left the world of accounting and took a series of part-time jobs to get me through, hoping for a big chance.8.Why did he love watching comedians on television?A.

He got enough dollars to keep everything okay.C. He contributed his own money to the drawer. D. He adopted a sensible and simple principle.10.What can we learn from the text?A. The head of accounting paid too much for his work.B. The author loved being funny and was imaginative.C. The author would patiently find the balance at the beginning.D. The author’s record of the routines was a complete failure.11.What’s the writing style of the text?A. Humorous.   B. Critical.   C. Ridiculous.   D.

Putting a smile on someone’s face when you know they are feeling depressed makes them feel good and warms their hearts.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co­worker, neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at the corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don’t know the person I’m joking around with. My grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is a common manner to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their faces. They don’t get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keep our stress levels under control. Without humor, we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medication to keep ourselves from going crazy. There is too much sadness, which will bring little light into our lives.Therefore, I believe our best medicine is to get together, tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.12.The author answers the question in the second paragraph with _______.A. facts and descriptions      B. evidence and the argumentC. examples and the conclusion     D. stories and persuasion13.The underlined phrase “busting a gut” in the third paragraph can be replaced by “________”.A. keeping silent    B. speaking loud  C. laughing hard    D. explaining carefully14.According to the passage, laughing is necessary and essential because ________.A. it can lift people’s spirits     B. it can help people get on well with othersC. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the world  D. it makes people more confident15.In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to ________.A. talk about his own understanding of humorB. encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeC. introduce a practical way to get through daily lifeD. convince people of the power of being optimistic about life二、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(2021·重庆高三二模)Having No Sense of HumorA sense of humor is a quality that is usually considered valuable in a social context.

They took care of and loved each other very much, and their country was happy, too. Therefore they didn’t envy anything else. There was one thing they worried about. They wanted to make sure they could live happily forever like this.One day, one of the officials found out the couple’s worry and told them, “Prince, I heard that there is a magic charm(吉祥饰物), and it can protect you from any unfortunate event. If you always carry the magic charm with you, your fear and worry will disappear.” “Is it true? Where can I find that charm?” The prince asked him joyfully. “There is an old man in the forest, and he knows about everything. You can ask him.”The couple visited the old man, and asked for help with their worries and fears. The old man nodded his head as if he knew everything and said, “Travel all around the world. Then, when you meet a very happy couple, ask them to cut a piece of their underwear. If you keep the piece of the underwear, your fear and worry will go away.”The couple appreciated the old man's kindness and set out on the journey. The couple wandered around everywhere and heard about a happy knight and his wife in a town. They went to visit the knight. “Are you really happy like the rumor?” Then the knight answered. “Of course, we are, Prince. But our only worry and problem is that we didn't have any children.”They had to find an absolutely happy couple, so they continued their journey. They visited a happy couple who were famous for their happiness in the next town.And they asked the couple if they were really happy. The couple answered. “Yes, we are very happy. But we have too many children. A mother with a large family of children never has a peaceful day. We worry too much about our children.”They could not get a magic charm this time too,and kept going on their trip. It was very hard to find the happiest couple in the world.One day, the prince couple met a shepherd(牧羊人) and his wife in a big field. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Feeling disappointed and tired out, the prince couple decided to go back. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
