Do you want to live a happier, less stressful(有压力的)life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That's how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world-and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.
The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria.\children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day, \\their lives.\
Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLS School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
So, what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest illness club in south London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest-I wasn't interested in laughing with a group of strangers, nd I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap
our hands and say\difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes, everybody in the room was laughing for real-and some people just couldn't stop! At the end of the class, I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt.
So if you're under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results! ( )36. In which country was the first Laughter Club started? A. Britain. B. America. C. Australia. D. India

Children Campaingn Against Waste
Children are paying attention to the packaging(包装)of the things they buy. Packaging includes all the things you throw away when you unwrap anything new. One third of all rubbish is packaging. Mrs Perez's 4th grade class decides to make their school and neighbourhood know the waste in packaging. They want people to think before they buy. They also want to let people who make the products know that they want less waste in packaging. So they start a campaign to help people change how they shop.
Class Project: Campaign Against Waste
*Find out the facts. Use the websites to find out how much waste comes from packaging.
*Go on a trip to the shops. Take notes about how products, such as CDs, are packaged. Report on how much will be thrown away.
*Say no to bags. If we don't need one, we don't use one. *Make posters to tell others what they can do.
*Talk to our families and friends about what we learn.
*Write class letters to the people who produce our favourite products. Ask them to reduce packaging.
Children Save Water
Another class decides to help save water. Here's how they get started.
Miguel Salazar lives in Meridian, Texas. Every day he walks home from school and passes Carrollton Creek(小溪).The creek is filled with rubbish. But the creek is not always this way. Miguel's grandfather remembers flowers and plants grew along it and many people fished there in the past. So Miguel's class decides to clean up the creek. They make a plan.
Class Project: Creek Clean Up
* Write a letter to the mayor(市长)asking her to let us have a clean-up day at Carrollton Creek. Ask her for garbage cans to keep rubbish.
*Make posters inviting others to help.

Many people find good friends but they fail to continue with their friendship, because they do not know their role as a friend. Let us see some important points that we should take care of if we wish to be a good friend for someone.
Be a secret admirer of your friend: If your friend is good at something, then do not praise him just in front of him. Praising(表扬)a person for what he is good at does not improve his qualities. It surely will do harm to your friend. A good friend should never miss an opportunity to praise his friend in front of others when he is not around.
Pull your friend away from making mistakes: If your friend is doing something wrong, It is your duty to let him know it at earliest. Keep in mind: A best friend has to play a role of critic(批评家)if he wants his friend to stop doing wrong things. But keep in mind not to show your friend's mistakes in
