  Some people say that laughter is the best medicine. Scientists are beginning to agree with this. They are studying laughter seriously(认真地,严肃地)and finding it is really good for us.

  So what happens when we laugh? We use fifteen different muscles(肌肉)in our face,and laughing is good for every organ(器官)in our body. When we laugh, we breathe quickly and exercise the face,shoulders(肩膀),and chest. Our blood pressure(压力)goes down,and our circulation gets better. Our heart beat is lower and our brain makes a natural painkiller (止痛药) called a beta-endorphin.

  Every minute we laugh is the same as forty-five minutes of relaxation. Many doctors around the world believe that laughter helps us get better when we are sick.

  Of course,there are many kinds of laughter. We may change the way we laugh in different situations. But we all have a laugh that is special to us. How do you usually laugh?

  Frequent(经常)hand cleaning is the most important thing you can do to prevent the spread(蔓延)of illness. It's especially important to clean your hands often during this time of year when germs cause influenza(流感),colds and diarrhea to spread easily by touching other people, furniture and equipment.

  Remember, clean hands can keep you healthy, so clean them often!Here's how:

*  Wash with soap and water if you can see the dirt on your hands.

*  Use alcohol hand gel(洗手液)for a quick cleaning when you can not see the dirt. Alcohol hand gel kills germs as well as washing with soap does,and it won't make your hands dry.

*  Be a role model——educate your kids and others close to you about the importance of frequent hand cleaning.
