There is an English saying: “laughter is best medicine.” Until recently ,few people took the saying seriously .Now however ,doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body .They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health .
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body .People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts ,blood pressure ,breathing and muscles .It was found that laughter had similar effects to physical exercise .It increases blood pressure ,the heart beating and breathing ; it also works several groups of muscles in the face ,the stomach ,and even the feet .If laughter exercises the body ,it must be beneficial .
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body .In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes. The group that tolerated(忍耐)the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny programme. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain .
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics ,in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh .They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing ,making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter .

　　The earth is our home. We must take care of it. This means keeping the land, air and water clean.
Pollution is a“dirty” word. To pollute means to make things unfit or unclean to use. Pollution comes in many ways; we see it, smell it, taste it and drink it. Pollution is beginning to threaten(威胁)our health, our happiness and our life.
Man has been polluting the earth from the time he first made fire, washed his clothes in the river and threw his waste on the ground. When land was used up or water became dirty, men moved on to another place. At first the problem was not so serious because there was plenty of clean air, land and water. There weren't so many people and then their wants were fewer. All the dirty things could be absorbed(吸收)by nature and soon covered over. But this is no longer true. The increase of population and the development of industry have changed that. Man is slowly poisoning his environment.
Once we thought of pollution, we simply mean air pollution. Though it is still the most dangerous, air pollution is only one type of pollution.
Through the use of poison, man has polluted the land, killing the animals. By putting dirty water and chemicals into rivers and lakes we have polluted our drinking water, killing the fish.
Our increasing population is part of the problem. More people more waste.
Where is this all to end? Are we turning the world into a big rubbish dump(垃圾堆),or is there any hope that we can get rid of the pollution?
Fortunately, millions of people have been warned of the danger of pollution. Large numbers of people are now working hard to bring pollution under control(控制).
6. We must take care of the earth because_________.
A. the earth moves round the sun
B. we live on the earth and it is our home.
C. a lot of animals live on it
D. it is being polluted
7. To pollute means _________.
A. to make clean
B. a “dirty” word
C .to make air, water, soil unfit for us
D. uncleanness
8. Hundreds of years ago the earth could manage the pollution problem because _________.
A. there was no industry then
B. there was plenty of fresh air, land and water
C. waste could be absorbed by nature
D. both B and C
9. Through the uncontrolled use of poison man has_________.
