How can we all get more laughter into our lives? Here is what the experts suggest:
 【小题1】Nancy Alguire, a teacher in Clifton Park, N. Y., was once painfully shy and had a hard time laughing. Then she married a circus clown (小丑). “I became interested in the clowns,” she recalls “One day I put on a costume and paint my face. That afternoon my whole life changed. I learned to laugh and enjoy life in a way I had never done before.”  【小题2】To this day, she still makes it a rule to be with people who enjoy life and laughing.
 【小题3】 It doesn’t take you too much time and can be easy. Collect favorite cartoons and jokes. Also, keep a paper for writing down humor you find in everyday life. “Good ideas come and go fast, you have to catch them quickly or they are gone,” says Virginia Tooper.
Laugh when you need it most. “ 【小题4】 ” says comedian Bill Cosby. “And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might by, you can survive it,” he insists.
Gray Alan, a sociology professor at the University of Minnesota, claims that laughter is a skill we can all gain – because it comes naturally.   【小题5】Just remember: we are just here for a period, so get a few laughs.

A.Mix with people who laugh.
B.You can lessen your pain through humor.
C.Practise the art of laughing.
D.But it’s also something that has to be developed.
E.He who laughs last laughs best.
F.People’s joy can affect those around them.
G.Keep a laughter file (文档).

Crossroads International

1. How does Crossroads work?

Crossroads is a resource network. We take goods Hong Kong doesn’t want and give them to people who badly need them. We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare(福利)center in Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa.   1 

2. Who do we help?

  2  They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it. They can’t get the job done without back-up, though, so our task is to help them do their task. Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets. They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock.

3.   3 

Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated.   4   Nobody in our organization receives a salary. Even our full-time staff work on a voluntary basis.

Those that donate goods and services:

●Factories     ●Manufacturers

●Hospitals     ●Hotels

●Educational Institutions  ●Householders

●Transport Companies   ●Offices

●Other Charities

  5  While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping.

    A. One resource that we are always in need of is people.

    B. So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource.

    C. What can I do?

    D. The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets.

    E. How do we operate?

    F. All volunteer work is done at our warehouse.

G.. Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight (货运), we ask transport companies to donate their services.
