题目

阅读短文，从每小题所给的四个选项中，选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。 Do you want to live a happier life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That's how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world. Many doctors are interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study，laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%. They think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy. The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai，India，in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. ""Everyone's naturally good at laughing. We want people to feel happy with their lives，"says Dr. Kataria. There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1，300 worldwide. So，what happens at a Laughter Club? I went to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class，to be honest-I didn't like laughing with a group of strangers. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say" ho ho ho, ha ha ha" while looking at each other. Although our bodies can't tell the difference between fake（假的）laughter and real laughter，they still have the same healthy effects. After ten minutes，everybody in the room was laughing genuinely（真诚地）, and some people just couldn't stop laughing! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you're under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results! （1） In which country did Dr. Madan Kataria start the first Laughter Club? A . Britain. B . America. C .
