How can we all get more laughter into our lives? Here is what the experts suggest：

　　1　　 Nancy Alguire, a teacher in Clifton Park, N．Y．, was once painfully shy and had a hard time laughing．Then she married a circus clown(小丑)．“I became interested in the clowns,” she recalls “One day I put on a costume and paint my face．That afternoon my whole life changed．I learned to laugh and enjoy life in a way I had never done before．” 　　2　　 To this day, she still makes it a rule to be with people who enjoy life and laughing．

　　3　　 It doesn’t take you too much time and can be easy．Collect favorite cartoons and jokes．Also, keep a paper for writing down humor you find in everyday life．“Good ideas come and go fast, you have to catch them quickly or they are gone,” says Virginia Tooper．

Laugh when you need it most．“　　4　　” says comedian Bill Cosby．“And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might by, you can survive it,” he insists．

Gray Alan, a sociology professor at the University of Minnesota, claims that laughter is a skill we can all gain–because it comes naturally．　　5　　 Just remember：we are just here for a period, so get a few laughs．

A．Mix with people who laugh．

B．You can lessen your pain through humor．

C．Practise the art of laughing．

D．But it’s also something that has to be developed．

E．He who laughs last laughs best．

F．People’s joy can affect those around them．

G．Keep a laughter file(文档)．

　　Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life．How can you gain the most from them, and make sure you do not waste this wonderful opportunity to learn?

　　(1)Be positive about school! Don't say things are difficult or boring．Be interested in school-life and your school subjects．Join in lots of activities．Be quick to put your hand up．Go round the school with a big smile．

　　(1)Expect to work．School is not a holiday camp．If you are not working, you are not learning, and you are wasting your time at school．Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable．

　　(3)Keep fit．If you do not eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class．If you go to bed late and do not have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class．Play some sports to keep your body strong．

　　(4)________．Do not say you will do things tomorrow．If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front．You cannot finish a race if you rest all the time．

　　(5)Don't be too disappointed if things sometimes go badly．Everyone fails some tests, loses some matches and has bad days．Friends are not always perfect, and they sometimes say and do unpleasant things．Don't let small problems seem very big and important．

　　(6)Talk about problems－sometimes they are only the result of misunderstanding．Don't be too embarrassed to turn to others．You are young．No one thinks you can do everything!

　　(7)Plan your time．Don't waste life lying in bed on Saturday morning．Go and play a sport, learn the piano, work on a project, read a book, practise English, or help someone with problems．There are always a lot of things to do．

Follow my advice, and have a happy school-life!

　　If we agree that the function of education is to prepare us for life, then there is very little time to waste．So, while we can, we ought to concentrate on teaching children something really useful．Here is what our school should teach．

　　Politeness is a mark of civilization．The sooner children learn this, the better．In any case, a lot can be accomplished by a smile and good manners．

　　Like it or not, our adult lives will be consumed by the struggle for money, but we don’t make an effort to teach children how to manage it．So our schools have a duty to teach them this ability from the beginning．

　　We’re likely no accept something we are told, but that’s not what educated people do．Educated people are reasonable and they look at facts．If our schools teach nothing else, they should at least teach critical(批判性的)thinking．

　　Children should learn to take care of their health．They should know that if they eat junk food(垃圾食品), they will become fat and unhealthy．They should be very clear about what happens to their bodies when they drink or smoke．

　　All of us are part of society．We have rights and responsibilities．We ought to understand what they are．We have to know a little bit of history and geography, because we need to have an environment in which to relate to the people around us．

　　How will we test students on these? We can’t．But that’s not a reason to avoid teaching what is important．Our schools should spend every moment they have telling this to our children：”This is life, this is what you are going to face, and this is how you deal with it．”

　　Nowadays, science is developing at a high speed．With the development of science, many countries have improved their economy and raised their people’s living standards．Therefore, science is of great benefit to our daily life．

　　If we look at the things around us, we’ll find how closely our everyday life is related to science．In one case, at home we can turn on the central heating or air conditioner when we feel cold or hot, and we can watch TV or listen to the tape recorder for entertainment, and we can use a gas stove to cook our meals, and we have computers to help us with our work when we are working in the office, and we also have cars, buses, even planes as traffic tools when we go out．All these things are the results of the scientific development．It goes without saying that without science our society cannot make rapid progress and our life cannot be comfortable and convenient．

　　Now that science is so significant in our daily life, we should try to make as many contributions as possible to the development of science．As college students, we must first of all study hard to gain useful scientific knowledge, and then put what we have learnt into practice．We should make the most of science to serve our society．
