is the best medicine until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. now, however, doctors have begun to investigate laughter and the effects it has on the human body. they have found evidence that laughter really can improve peoples health.tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. people watched funny films, while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscle. it was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. it increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing, it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even feet. if laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.other tests have shown that laughter appears to be capable of reducing the effects of pain on the body. in one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. the group which tolerate(忍受) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. the reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins (内啡肽) in the brain. these are natural chemicals which decrease both stress and pain.there is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the bodys immune (免疫)system , that is, the system which fights infection. in an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while another group served as the control group-in other words, a group with which to compare the first group. doctors checked the blood of the student in both groups and found that the people in the group that watched the video had an increase in the activity of their white blood cells, that is, the cell which fight infection.as a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists in the united stated now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients condition by encouraging them to laugh. they have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter. 68. we can learn from the first paragraph that laughter_. a. has been investigated long since b. is related to some illness c. is good for ones health d. has no effect on the body69. doctors have found that laughter_ a. has similar effects to physical exerciseb. keeps down blood pressurec. decrease the heart rate d. increase stress 70. which of the following statements is not true of laughter?a. it reduces the pain b. it can cure cancer c. it improves the bodys immune system d. it exercises the body71. the writers attitude towards laughter is _a. critical b. doubtful c. negative d. positive da person steps on what seems like solid ground but discovers with horror that the ground is giving way underfoot. the person struggles desperately but is trapped. there is no escape. slowly the person sinks deeper and at last is gone. the solid ground was solid only in appearance. it was actually quicksand, which is a deep mass of fine sand mixed with water. how is quicksand formed? water pushes up from below the surface and is held by the sand. the grains of sand are forced apart by the water. they cannot hold any weight. the subsurface water may have come from a spring, a river, or a stream. sometimes pools of water near beaches become filled with sand. when the soil under these pools does not allow for good drainage(排水), the sand can become stretches of quicksand. is it true that a person who steps into quicksand is doomed to die? no, for people have fought their way from quicksand to firm land again. it is panic(恐慌) that creates the condition that can result in death,
