Test 1

The idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be

true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an important part in keeping

you healthy.

Treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever

heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between

people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a

smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and

you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.

Play

is

an

important

part

of

making

sure

that

we

stay

healthy.

We

are

often

encouraged

to

make

sure

our

children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as

important for old people to make play be part of their life as it’s for children. Physical play is important for the old

and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done

have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive(

认知的

) falling.

Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and

bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active,

more interesting and happier.

Test 2

Running

is

often

tiring

and a

lot

of

hard

work,

but

nothing

beats

the

feeling

you

get

after

finishing

a

long

workout around the track.

But while it’s long been believed that endorphins(

内啡肽

)

—

chemicals in the body that cause happiness

—

are

behind

the

so?called

“runner’s

high”,a

study

suggested

that

there

may

be

more

to

this

phenomenon

than

we

previously knew.

According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of

chemicals called endocannabinoids(

内源性大麻素

) may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling.

To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice.

Both

mice

and

humans

release

high

levels

of

endorphins

and

endocannabinoids

after

exercise,

along

with

many other chemicals. After exercising on running wheels, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no

signs of anxiety.

But after being given a drug to block their endorphins they changed. However, when their endocannabinoids

were block with a different drug, the runner’s high sym

ptoms seemed to fade.

“The long?held

notion

of endorphins being responsible for the runner’s high is false. Endorphins are effective

pain relievers, but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out

，

” Patrick

Lucas Austin wrote on a science blog.

Similar

studies

are

yet

to

be

carried

out

on

humans,

but

it’s

already

well

known

that

exercise

is

a

highly

effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety.

The

UK’s

National

Health

Service

even

prescribes(

开药方

)

exercise

for

patients

who

are

suffering

from

depression.

“Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy, which might put you off being more active. Regular

exercise can boost your mood if you have depression, and it’s especially useful for people wi

th mild to moderate(

中

等的

) depression

，

”it wrote on its website.

It

seems

like

nothing

can

beat

that

feeling

we

get

after

a

good

workout,

even

if

we

don’t

fully

understand

where it comes from. At least if we’re feeling down, we know that all we have to do is put on our running s

hoes.
