　　In the middle of my novel class, I paused and asked my class, “ What is the opposite(对立面)of love?”“Hate!” they 　　1　　 altogether．Confident(自信的)about their answer, they said it immediately, loudly, and cheerfully．

　　I looked 　　2　　 and signed silently and thought,“Maybe it’s only because they are 　　3　　．”Then I put down my book and said to my class,“Let us put it this way．Suppose(假设)you were once in love, but then you 　　4　　 with your boyfriend or girlfriend．Fifty years later you’re seventy．And one day when you are taking a walk, you two 　　5　　 each other．He or she stares at you and says,“I hate you!”

　　There is another scene far sadder, the one in which you two meet each other and you ask,“Do you remember me?” But he or she just looks at you, confused,“Yeah, you look a little 　　6　　, and what’s your name please?”With this, the whole class 　　7　　 laughter, maybe because they thought the scene was too 　　8　　 and too embarrassing(令人难看的)．

　　“　　9　　, the opposite of love is not hate but indifference(冷淡),”I told them．

　　After all the laughter, did they understand my words?Because they are too young, how could they tell clearly 　　10　　 is love?

　　Bill Gates and the president of General Motors have met for lunch, and Bill is going on and on about computer technology．“ If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades, you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour,” says Gates．“Or, you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas．In either case, the sticker price(标价)of a new car would be less than ＄50．Why haven't you guys kept up?”

　　The president of GM smiles and says, “Because the federal government won't let us build cars that crash four times a day．”

　　Why is that funny(or not funny, as the case may be)? Human beings love to laugh, and the average adult laughs 17 times a day．Humans love to laugh so much that there are actually industries built around laughter．Jokes, sitcoms and comedies are all designed to get us laughing, because laughing feels good．For us it seems so natural, but the funny thing is that humans are the only species that laughs．Laughter is actually a complex response that involves many of the same skills used in solving problems．

　　Laughter is a great thing--that's why we've all heard the saying, “Laughter is the best medicine．” There is strong evidence that laughter can actually improve health and help fight disease．When we look at laughter－what it is, what happens in our brains when we laugh, what makes us laugh and how it can make us healthier and happier, there's a huge amount about it that no one understands yet．
