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.

1.What can laughter increase according to the author?

A. Cognitive ability B. Good relationships

C. A sense of humor D. Happiness and trust

2.What does the author think the old should do?

A. They should have a good rest.

B. They should play like children.

C. They should prevent cognitive falling.

D. They should take part in physical play.

3.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Humor, Laughter and Play for Health

B. Always Keep Our Body Healthy

C. Have an Active and Happy Life

D. Let Our Body and Mind Relax

We have seen that humor and laughter positively influence our body in many ways, but little research has been done on whether a better sense of humor actually helps keep you from getting sick. However, since people with a better sense of humor have higher IgA levels, and since research has shown that those with higher levels of salivary(唾液的) IgA are less likely to get colds or be infected with Streptococcus, humor should reduce the frequency of colds.

The only study to directly examine this question found that the impact of one’s sense of humor upon colds depends on the kind of sense of humor you have. It was only individuals whose sense of humor took the form of seeking out and appreciating humor who had fewer and less severe colds/flu than their low humor counterparts. Surprisingly, those whose sense of humor took the form of initiating humor more often did not have fewer or less severe colds/flu. The researchers argued that being a person who likes to tell jokes or otherwise initiate humor takes them into more frequent contact with other people, which serves to expose them to infectious agents more often, robbing them of the advantage that a more active sense of humor otherwise offers. Obviously, more research is required to clear up this confusing picture.

The importance of active use of one’s sense of humor in producing humor’s health benefits was confirmed in another study in an unusual way. It found that among a group of mothers with newborn infants, those who actively used humor to cope with the stress in their lives had fewer upper respiratory infections and their infants also had fewer infections. This seemed to be because these mothers had higher levels of immunoglobulin A (免疫球蛋白A) in their breast milk.

Among adults, if we look at bodily symptoms alone, independent of any diagnosed illness, there is some evidence that individuals who have more negative reactions to humor report more bodily symptoms and complaints. Students complaining of cardiovascular(心脏血管的) symptoms and gastroenterological (肠胃病的) symptoms also have been shown to have this more negative reaction to humor.

1.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. People with a good sense of humor get sick less often.

B. Humor can reduce the frequency of colds / flu.

C. Any form of humor can prevent people from getting sick.

D. Humor can treat illness.

2.According to the passage, IgA is _______.

A. a medicine　　　　　　 B. enzyme

C. factor　　　　　　　 　　 D. measure

3.Why do newborn infants whose mothers use humor to deal with stress have fewer infections?

A. Because they don't often get upper respiratory infections.

B. Because they are stronger since they were born.

C. Possibly because of the higher levels of immunoglobulin A in their breast milk.

D. Because their mothers take better care of them.

4.Students with some bad bodily symptoms show ___________ towards humor.

A. a positive attitude　　　　　　　　 B. a negative attitude

C. a neutral attitude　　　　　　　　　 D. an unclear attitude
