Ⅱ.阅读理解

If you want someone to open up to you, just make them laugh. Sharing a good laugh makes people more willing to tell others something personal about themselves, without even necessarily being_aware that they are doing so. These are among the findings of a study led by Alan Gray of University College London in the UK. The study was published in the journal Human Nature.

Gray and his colleagues gathered 112 students from Oxford University in England, into groups of three. It was the first time that the students had seen one another. The groups watched a 10-minute video together, without chatting with one another. The videos differed in the amount of laughter and positive feelings they produced. One featured a stand-up comedy by Michael McIntyre, another a golf instruction video, and the third a pleasant nature documentary of the BBC's Planet Earth series. The levels of laughter and the students' emotional state after watching the video were then measured.

The students who had a good laugh together shared more personal information about each other than the groups who did not watch the funny video. Gray suggests this is not only because it is a positive experience, but because of the physiology (生物反应) behind a good laugh. It actually causes the release of the so-called “happy hormone (荷尔蒙)”. The findings support the idea that laughter encourages people to tell more personal information to strangers.

Interestingly, the person who told their personal information seldom noticed that he or she had done so. It was only the listener who realized that it had happened. “These results suggest that laughter should be a good topic for those who are interested in the development of social relationships，” says Gray. This suggests laughter can serve as a shortcut (捷径) to forming new relationships.
