How can we all get more laughter into our lives? Here is what the experts suggest:
51 . Nancy Alguire, a teacher in Clifton Park, N. Y., was once painfully shy and had a hard time laughing. Then she married a circus clown (小丑). “I became interested in the clowns,” she recalls “One day I put on a costume and paint my face. That afternoon my whole life changed. I learned to laugh and enjoy life in a way I had never done before.” 52 To this day, she still makes it a rule to be with people who enjoy life and laughing.
53 It doesn’t take you too much time and can be easy. Collect favorite cartoons and jokes. Also, keep a paper for writing down humor you find in everyday life. “Good ideas come and go fast, you have to capture them quickly or they are gone,” says Virginia Tooper.
Laugh when you need it most. “ 54 ” says comedian Bill Cosby. “And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might by, you can survive it,” he insists.
Gray Alan, a sociology professor at the University of Minnesota, claims that laughter is a skill we can all gain – because it comes naturally. 55 . Just remember: we are just here for a period, so get a few laughs.
A．You can soften the worst blows through humor.
B．Mix with people who laugh.
C．Practise the art of laughing.
D．Keep a laughter file.
E．He who laughs last laughs best.
F．But it’s also something that has to be developed.
G．People’s joy can affect those around them.
The sound of the national song suggested that we ________only minutes from the action.
A. were B. should be C. be D. must be
Ways to Save Time
We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.
36 But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.
1. Get Out of Bed Earlier
If you normally get up at 7: 30 a. m. , try getting up at 7: 00 a. m. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you’ve been meaning to finish. 37
2. Do the Important Tasks First
Once you get to work, get the important ones done first(not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.
38 The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won’t miss the important ones.
3. Reduce Interruptions
If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions don’t just eat up time, they also break your concentration.
When you’ve got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. 39 Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.
4. 40
A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.
When you’re working, work. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you’re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to deal with.
A. Stay Focused on Your Work
B. Take Breaks When Necessary
C. If you have an office door, close it.
D. If you work like this, you’ll usually save time.
E. Would you want me to make your day longer?
F. I can’t magically make all your days 25 hours long.
G. Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.
Mr Smith was the manager of a hotel in Springfield. One weekend all of the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. Late in the evening three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr Smith explained that because of the meeting, there were no rooms ready for use. The men were very unhappy because they had no place to stay in.
Mr Smith wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 414, a very small room, was empty. He asked them if they would share a room. The three men agreed. Mr Smith told them that the room would cost $30: $10 for each. Each of them gave Mr Smith $10, and they went up to the room.
Mr Smith soon began to feel sorry. “Thirty dollars is too much for that small room,” he thought. He called one of his men over and said, “Here is $ 5. Bring it to the man in Room 414. I’ve asked too much money for their room.”
The worker took the money from his manager. While he was on his way to Room 414, he started to think, “How can I divide $5? Well, I’ll give each of them only $1 and I keep $2. The men will be happy to get anything back. I’ll make a little money and Mr Smith will never know.” So he returned $1 to each man.
You see, there come a problem, each man had at first paid $10. After the worker returned them $1 each, each man had paid 9. There were three men, $9 x 3 = $27. The worker kept $2 —$27+$2=29. Where is the missing dollar?

Recently I understood the true meaning of love. The 41 was Kane, my neighbor Joline’s two-year-old son.
Kane was born with a physical problem on his 42 . And I witnessed the 43 that Kane’s physical shortcomings had on his family. I also witnessed much more than that. I saw a 44 family that embraced (拥抱) this special child. A family that wouldn’t allow Kane to know he was 45 . Joline had constructed a small cart just a few inches off the floor for his son to 46 . Kane used his hands to move about, and the cart 47 him to “go to” any place just as everyone else was able to do. Kane was not just a member of the family, but the 48 of the family.
With a wide smile, it was easy to see that even at the age of two, Kane liked to 49 with people very much. With wisdom of an individual, this boy even 50 the most complex of human emotions. Later I came to 51 that this child was sent to help some of us who weren’t just getting what love was all about.
Kane demanded attention, 52 not because of his mobility (移动能力) challenges or other apparent shortcomings. In his mind, he had no 53 or shortcomings. The 54 was that he received attention because he was alive and real and had so much to offer.
Kane 55 me in a deep way. His ability to refuse to be different has 56 me. Kane was and is 57 lots of warm and powerful energy to me. From him and his family I learnt the 58 : love surpasses (超越) all things. I can only imagine that as the parent of a child like Kane one might be filled with 59 . But I believe that having a child like Kane is actually a(n) 60 . The parents of such special babies are angels too, just as the babies are.
