B
Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how millions 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 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 1300 in the world.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects 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.
The first Laughter Club was started in __________.
A. India       B. America        C. Britain
How many Laughter Clubs are there in the world today?
A. Over 1300.      B. Over 500.     C. Over 800.
How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class?
A. Surprised.     B. Pleased.      C. Nervous.
When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real?
A. After ten minutes.
B. After ten hours.
C. After ten seconds.
The article mainly tells us _____________.
A. young children laugh much more often than adults in a day
B. laughing is one of the best ways to stay healthy
C. real laughter and unreal laughter are both good for health

Maybe a lot of thin people will be worried about their health if the inside fat matters．

Some doctors now think that the inside fat around important organslike the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the outside fat which can be noticed more easily．

"Being thin doesn' t surely mean you are not fat，"said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College．Since 1994，Bell and his team have tested nearly 800people with MRI to create "fat maps" showing where people store fat．

According to the result，people who keep their weight through the food they usually eat rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits （堆积物） of inside fat，even if they are thin．

Even people with normal Body Mass Index （体重指数） scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside．Of the women，as many as 45percent of those with normal BMI scores （20to 25）actually had too high levels of inside fat．Men were nearly 60percent．

According to Bell，people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat．They eat too many fatty and sugary foods，but they are not eating enough to be fat．Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the stomach first，but at some point，the body may start storing it elsewhere．

Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of inside fat，but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes （糖尿病）．They want to prove that inside fat does harm to the body' s communication systems．

The good news is that inside fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your eating habits．"If you want to be healthy，there is no other way．Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle，"Bell said．

I'd planned to spend my weekend in the sun，planting flowers outdoors．But that was before the pair of crows （乌鸦）．Out of nowhere，they had set up their base camp in our garden．

We first discovered the crows on Friday morning．It was early，and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood．I thought they' d go away soon．But，no．They were getting louder and probably made my neighbors angry nearly as much as us with the noise．I felt a little disappointed．

Then，on Sunday afternoon，I looked out of the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi watching something on the ground．I found a small coal﹣black bird in the grass．Its eyes were milky，and it stayed perfectly still as my dog inched towards it．Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away．I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera．

I never thought that the young would be hanging out on the ground，growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above．The second I saw this little bird I forgave （原谅） the crows．

To be honest，I' ve never been much of a bird person．I also have a healthy respect for birds．They' re basically living dinosaurs（恐龙）．

I wish they' d chosen another garden．There are only so many sunny days in Seattle，and I still can' t do any gardening out there．But I' m also thankful that I got to see this little bit of nature．It' s pretty amazing．

The experience has also strengthened my wish to create a beautiful garden that attracts lots of bees，butterflies，and yes，birds．They are welcome here．
