There are many wetlands(湿地)in China and some of them have become the world’s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them.They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve(自然保护区)is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Granes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.

   The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine,too. They are really good places for wildlife(野生动物). Offering food and home to some special kinds of birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings.This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.

   Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.

 Do you want to live a happier , less stressful (有压力的) 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 Madam Kataria . “

Young children laugh about 300 times away. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day , ”says Dr Kataria .‘Everyone’s naturally good at laughing ---it’s the 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 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 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 laughter 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 laughter .You might be very pleased with the results!
