Several recent studies have suggested that women experience laughter more than men. According to medical studies ,laughter isn't just about having fun-it actually has many health benefits（好处）. Studies have shown that the act of laughing can make blood pressure fall, reduce stress（压力）and improve immune function（免疫功能）.
Not only that, but laughter can also provide benefits similar to that of an antidepressant(抗抑郁). When you laugh your body lets out something that lead to a general feeling of health and happiness. Regular laughter can play a role in helping you to avoid many health problems. So not only do women tend to laugh more than men，they are also more likely to have the last laugh”.
Women are more likely to respond to men whom they find humorous and men seem to recognize this and their best to make women laugh. It has been shown that women are more likely to laugh in the presence of men whom they like and men are more likely to be attracted to women who laugh in their presence because it makes them feel better. Clearly, it is important to men that a woman appreciates their humor.

The stereotype(模式化的思想) is that Americans are lazy, but studies show that people in the USA get less vacation time than people in other parts of the world. A typical American worker gets two or three weeks off out of a whole year for vacation, but most US workers cannot. They usually have to be spread out throughout the year. Even when US workers are on vacation. they are often expected to be in communication with their bosses by email and mobile phone. Most US businesses do not encourage their employees(雇员) to take all the vacation days they are allowed to. In fact. most US companies discourage it.
Other countries, especially countries in Europe, have much more vacation time. In Germany many people have six weeks of paid vacation. Maybe this is why Europeans and other travellers take a vacation in far-off foreign places. Most American families like to stay closer to their homes, hardly leaving the country.
Most companies in countries outside the USA have to give paid time off to their employees. However, in the USA there is no law requiring employers to give workers paid vacation. In fact the USA is the only developed country that doesn't promise to give yearly time off to workers. There have been efforts to pass laws giving US workers one week of paid vacation, but so far those efforts have not been successful.
Even when US workers do have time off, many are afraid to take it because they worry they may lose their jobs. Other workers worry that if they go on vacation, they will have a mountain of work when they return.
