16.In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the film-maker Walter Disney.He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon film for children.When Walter Disney heard Nash's voice,he said,"Stop!That's our duck!"
The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck,who first appeared in 1934 in the film,The Wise Little Hen.Donald lived in an old houseboat and worn his sailor jacket and hat.Later that year he became a star after an eight minute Mickey Mouse film.The cinema audiences liked him because he was lazy and greedy,and because he lost his temper very easily.And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews.Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself,probably because he wasn't a goody-goody,like Mickey.
In the 1930s,1940s,and 1950s,Donald and his friends Mickey,Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons.He also made educational film about the place of the USA in the world,and safety in the home.Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared-there were no more new cartoons.

13.A good laugh is like a mild workout.It exercises the muscles,gets the blood flowing,decreases blood pressure and improves sleep patterns and the immune system.(36)E
•Don't take life too seriously.We all have obstacles in life and we all make mistakes.( 37)BIn fact,if you can laugh lightheartedly at your own fault,you'll find that you give yourself that extra happiness and confidence increase that can get you over any obstacle.
•Find the humor in a bad situation.Sure,there are some situations where you are really sad.( 38)CThe next time you feel the stress levels rising,take a minute to think about the funny side of the situation and laugh over the things you cannot control.This will lower your blood pressure,blood sugar levels and heart rate.
•Remind yourself of funny moments from the past.Perhaps a friend told you a great joke the other day or your children or pets did something amusing.( 39)GSometimes just reliving a funny moment can cause the endorphins (内啡肽),natural painkillers,to kick in.
(40)DAs the saying goes,laughter is contagious (会传染的).So make a point of seeking out positive people who aren't afraid to laugh at themselves and are good at finding humor in life's situations.Young children are especially skilled at finding laughter and joy in everyday moments.

●(36)A
Even if you find yourself lacking in something,there's no need to keep repeating it to yourself.The human brain is an unbelievable thing.Be inspired by Dr.Jill Bolte Taylor,who took eight years to recover from her illness and has since then written a best-selling book about her experience and appeared on Oprah.
●No one cares about me.
To accurately say that your family and friends don't care about you would be a very rare situation.Maybe you're being too negative and overlooking the gestures of love they show you.They don't even have to be big gestures,but it's the little things they did for you that count.(37)EStart showing people you care,so they can show you back in kind.
●I really dislike this person.
If you dislike a person,focusing on his had qualities is not going to make things better.You need to know that he is human too,which means he makes mistakes.(38)FFocus on his good qualities,and repeat them to yourself.
●Why is he better off?.
(39)DThere's always going to be someone who is younger,prettier,smarter,or richer than you.Remember,there are people who are also worse off than you and what they don't have is your whole package.(40)B

A.I'm not good enough.
B.Be grateful for what you have.
C.You think you won't be able to"get there".
D.Comparing yourself to someone else is never positive.
E.And people may be reacting to the energy you're putting out.
F.Learn to approach him or think about him in a positive manner.
G.Keep on working toward something,and watch the leaps you'll make.
