There's an old saying that laughter is the best medicine. No matter whether it's caused by a good joke, a cute child or pet, or a pie in the face of a comedian, the simple act of laughing offers medical benefits. Laughter has been shown to reduce stress and help people lose weight. It's a special tonic (滋补品)for older people, who are prone to loneliness and sad thoughts.

In fact, in more than 1,000 American communities, and a couple thousand more around the world, entire clubs have been formed so that people can get together and laugh! U.S. clubs have names like "Laugh-a-holics," "the Ha-Ha Spa," "Granite State Giggles(傻笑)," and "Judy's Joyful Laughter Club."

The idea started in India, where laughing is an oral yoga(瑜珈)exercise using discipline, mind power and a good belly laugh. Laughter is certainly contagious(传染性的). Only a determined grouch(脾气坏的人)could avoid at least smiling when others around him are laughing till it hurts. That's why members of laughing clubs don't just get together to howl with laughter themselves. They meet on street corners, in train stations, and other public places, laugh their fool heads off, and invite everyone around them to join in.

Laughing clubs have become so popular that one can even get training as a "certified laughing leader." And the key qualification? You have to be really good at these, chortling, chuckling, howling, snickering, cackling, tittering, giggling and sniggling.

1.The following are the benefits offered by laughing EXCEPT _____.

  A.benefiting the older people

  B.reducing pressure

  C.helping people keep fit  

  D.helping people have a good appetite

2.Why do members of laughing clubs meet in public places instead of in private rooms?

  A.Because they want to cause others to laugh.

  B.Because they want to show off their special skills.

  C.Because they would like people to share their happiness.

  D.Because they need a large space to laugh.

3.The words in the last sentence “chortling, chuckling, howling, snickering, cackling, tittering, giggling and sniggling” are _____.

  A.conditions of a laughing leader       B.manners you must follow when laughing

  C.all forms of laughing    D.tips of laughter

4.Which of the following is the best title?

  A.Laughter Is More and More Popular in the USA

  B.Laughter Linked to Health, Happiness

  C.How We Laugh

  D.Laughing, an Oral Yoga Exercise
