Do you want to live a happier, less stressful (有壓力的) life?
Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter 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’s naturally good at laughing – it’s the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects (效果) of laughter on our health. According to a 5 – year study 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 stupid. 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 fake laughter and real 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!
【小題1】In which country was the first Laughter Club started?

A．Britain.B．America.C．Australia.D．India.
【小題2】How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class?
A．Surprised.B．Pleased.C．Nervous.D．Stressful.

2009 is the year of what? Yes, it’s the year of the Ox. But do you know that 2009 is also the year of the telescope? This year the world celebrates the 400th anniversary of Galileo’s observations of the universe through an astronomical telescope (天文望遠(yuǎn)鏡). In 1609, the Italian scientist first pointed a “Dutch perspective glass” at the night sky and made discoveries that changed mankind’s conceptions of the universe.

In honor of Galileo’s discoveries, the United Nations and the International Astronomical Union have declared 2009 to be the International Year of Astronomy (IYA 2009).

IYA 2009 is a yearlong celebration of astronomy. Its goal is to spread knowledge of astronomy’s contributions to society and culture and to inspire more interest in astronomy and science, especially among young people. The theme of the celebration is “The Universe, Yours to Discover.”

One interesting aim of the IYA is to encourage more diversity (多樣性) in the field of astronomy and physics. IYA organizers hope that the yearlong celebration of astronomy will inspire more females and underrepresented minorities to pursue (追求) careers in science. An event that will help further that goal is 100 Hours of Astronomy (100 HA) that will fall on April. This event aims to have as many people as possible look through a telescope. From April 2nd to 5th, millions of people worldwide will peer through telescopes to catch their first glimpse (一瞥) of the universe, just as Galileo’s did 400 years ago. Sidewalk astronomy events will give city-dwellers (城市居民) an excellent opportunity to see the moon, the planet Saturn, and other objects in position for early evening observations.

Organizers hope that the activities of IYA will “promote (促進(jìn)) a greater appreciation of the astronomy.” So join the fun. Look through a telescope this year!

 

65. What does the article mainly talk about?

   A. The celebrations in IYA 2009.       

   B. The activities on the 400th anniversary of Galileo.

   C. The event of 100 Hours of Astronomy. 

   D. How to spread knowledge of astronomy.

66. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The IYA celebrations will fall on April lasting 100 hours.

B. IYA 2009 is a yearlong celebration to honor Galileo’s discoveries.

C. The aim of 100 HA is to spread knowledge of astronomy’s contributions.

D. People worldwide will have a chance to peer the universe in 100 HA.

67. What can you infer from the article?

A. More young people will take science as their career after a series of IYA events.

   B. Minorities and females take no interest in astronomy.

   C. People will have a better knowledge of the contributions of astronomy.

   D. IYA 2009 is the biggest event that takes place in the year of Ox.

68. What kind of article is it?

  A. A news report.     B. A popular reading.   C. A tourist guide.   D. A science fiction.
