题目内容

With all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it’s not only helpful, but it’s essential to have a good sense of humor, just to help us get through each day of our lives. I could never make it through even one single day without simply fooling around with the people around me, just to pick up our mood. Putting a smile on someone’s face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps, as the saying goes, makes me feel all good, and warm inside.

How would you feel if you could not joke around with a neighbor, friend, family, or even just someone you meet while standing in a lineup at your corner store? My grandma always told me that a stranger is only a friend that you haven’t met yet. My grandma always found umor in everything she did, even if it was the dirtiest job anyone could imagine. I know I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don’t know the person I’m joking around with. This relieves stress in any situation, and it is common courtesy to speak to others that are around you.

I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor from hearing a great joke, but they would sit there with only the slightest smile on their face. I don’t know how these people can do it. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at us as if we were from outer space.

Without humor in this world, a quality that can be learned, we would find ourselves with a lot of mental problems. There is too much sadness in this world, and we all need to find a way to bring a little light into our lives, so the best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and laugh a whole lot.

Like every other Olympics, the London 2012 Olympics will depend upon thousands of volunteers to help with the smooth running of the event. To show the importance of the role, London 2012 volunteers are to be called ‘Game Makers’. Lord Coe has said recently: “London 2012 is relying on brilliant Game Makers to help us create a great Olympic and Paralympic Games. ”

London 2012 Olympics volunteers will provide the face of London 2012, working behind the scenes and making sure the games are as well organized, efficient and, most importantly, as enjoyable as possible.

Despite the hard-work and often unsociable hours required of volunteers, applications to be considered as a Game Maker were unprecedented（空前的） with all the 70, 000 available positions applied within days. But, for those still interested in helping out during 2012 and being in the middle of the action, there are still a lot of opportunities available.

If you were one of those who missed out on the chance of becoming London 2012 volunteers, you can now apply to be one of the 8, 000 London Ambassadors（大使）. This important role involves greeting fans from all over the world, welcoming them to the fantastic capital city of London and providing a friendly face as well as help, advice and a good old traditional warm British welcome. The view of London most visitors take away with them after the 2012 Olympics will mostly be down to the volunteers and ambassadors, so these roles play a very important part in the process of making the UK a great place to travel to.

Becoming a London Ambassador is a brilliant way to be involved with the London 2012 volunteers scheme and become a part of what should be an historic summer.
