Kataria is the founder of the worldwide

laughter movement. The celebration of world

Laughter Day is a positive activity for world peace

and is intended to build up a global sense of

brotherhood and friendship through laughter. The

first “World Laughter Day” gathering took place

in Mumbai, India, on 11th January 1998. 12,000

members from India and international Laughter

Clubs attended it. Now there are over 5,000 Laughter Clubs worldwide on all 5 continents.

         “HAPPY-DEMIC” was the first World Laughter Day gathering outside India. It took place on 9th January 2000. In Copenhagen, Denmark , more than 10,000 people gathered at Town Hall Square. The event went into Guinness Book of World records. “World Laughter Day” is now organized on the first Sunday of May every year. Hundreds of people gather worldwide on that day to laugh together.

         Today, many people fear widespread international terrorism. The world has never faced so much unrest before. People are at war within themselves. Laughter is a universal language, which has the ability to unite humanity without religion. Laughter can build a common connection between various religions and create a new world order. The idea may sound over-ambitious (野心太大的), and maybe it is. But maybe it is not. It is our deep belief that laughter and only laughter can unite the world, building up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship.

         Studies also say that laughter helps your body do the following: lower blood pressure; lighten depression; reduce stress; work out the heart, especially for those who are unable to perform physical exercise. So in life, when you can laugh, you should laugh loudly and with your entire body—because it’s good for you.

While the rest of the world carried on cycling during the 1950s and 1960s ,America forgot how; even high-school children would drive to school .Recently there has been something of a renaissance(复兴) in cycling, and in many areas it is a very useful way of getting around, especially where bike paths or bike routes have been built. You may well want to buy , hire or borrow a bike. 

     There are two important consequences (后果)of this earlier drop in cycling in the U.S.A. One is that many people do not to know how to cycle. That is, cyclists often behave more like Pedestrians(行人)than motorists: they ride on the sidewalk or on the wrong side of the road; they don't care for stop signs or traffic lights; they ride without lights at night; they give no hand signals .The other consequence is that cycling is regarded by many people not so much as a way of getting from one place to another but as a way of life, a form of exercise, etc. As a result, a large number of young Americans have ten-speed racing bikes. These are very high and fast and great if you are cycling long distances, riding up mountains or racing. At first , though, you may find them awkward (使用不便)for cycling in town. Sight-seeing or shopping ----they are expensive, uncomfortable and hard to control until you get used to them, and unsuitable for rough stony roads.

     There are also ordinary bikes around. If you get hold one of these ,you may find that brakes work by pedaling(踩踏板)backwards. This is perhaps safer than ordinary brakes when it is wet, but it seems to be less effective. This arrangement also means you can't pedal backwards in order to get the pedals in the right place for getting on or moving off.

68.   The passage gives us a brief introduction to _______________________.

     A. advantages of bikes                B. cycling in America

     C. American transportation            D. how to ride a bike

69.   Young Americans prefer racing bikes because they_________________.

     A. can help keep fit                    B. are easy to learn

     C. are safer to ride                     D. are expensive and popular

70.   Which of the following does NOT result from the early drop in cycling in the U.S.A?

     A. Cyclists do not care for traffic lights.

     B. People ride on the wrong side of the roads.

     C. Cycling is not considered a way of transportation.

     D. People have to pedal backwards to stop the bike.
