16、t a lot of problems for herself and her kids. But she doesnt mind because her kids have become great.

17、 their childrens self-respect (自尊). They dont want to be strict with their kids because this may hurt their feelings.

31、ly good at laughing its the common language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 in the world.Many doctors are also interested in the effects(效果) of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School o

32、f 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 club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest, I wasn

33、t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking silly. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha” while looking at each other. However, our bodies cant tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still pr

34、oduce the same healthy effects.Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldnt stop!

37、hter on our healthDreal laughter and unreal laughter are both good for healthD16、Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost mention recycling. Recycling in the homes is very important. However, having to recycle often means we already have more products tha

38、n we need.

It is 1/3 of a homes waste in the UK. In many supermarkets, fo

39、od products are packaged twice with plastic and paper. Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of land because of this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. B

40、esides, the plastic from the package puts some creatures in danger, especially birds and fish.Recycling helps, but the recycling itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such waste in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy mo

41、re than they need. However, few of them have the idea that this cannot continue. For example, supermarkets should encourage customers to reuse their plastic bags.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have been used to the idea that packaging means excellence while anythi

42、ng unpackaged is of poor condition. This is especially true of food. But this idea has spread to other products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how many unnecessary goods are collected. We need to fa

54、Even today, if you dont have a clock, you still know that when the sun shines, its day, and when its dark, its night.
