Children laugh often and easily. But as we grow up, we laugh less and feel more stressed. Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world, and doctors now think that having a good laugh may be one of the best ways to keep healthy. The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai ,India ,in June,1995 by Dr Madam Kataria. “ Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day, ”says Dr Kataria . “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing . We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.

Last year my English class was difficult. First of all（1）， it wasn't easy for me to understand the teacher when she talked. To begin with, she spoke too quickly, and I couldn't understand every word. Later on, I realized that it doesn't matter if you don't understand every word. 我也害怕在課堂上說。（2) because I thought my classmates might laugh at me. I couldn't always make complete sentences, either. Then I started to watch English-language TV. It helped a lot. I think that doing lots of listening practice is one of the secrets of becoming a good language learner. （3）

Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs, but he doesn't let it stop him. The brave young man plays football and golf, swims, and surfs, despite the fact that he has no limbs（四肢）

Nick has a small foot on his left side, which helps him balance and enables him to kick. He uses his one foot to type, write with a pen and pick things up between his toes. "I call it my chicken drumstick, " joked Nick, who was born in Melbourne, Australia, but now lives in Los Angeles. "I'd be lost without it. When I get in the water I float(漂浮) because 80 percent of my body is lungs and my drumstick acts as a propeller(螺旋槳). "

Although Nick Vujicic had long-term girlfriends in the past, he is not mamed yet. " He's very shy, but he gets marriage offers from women all the time, " said Nick's friend, Steve Appel, an expert from Los Angeles.
