     Laughter therapy has been used in hospitals since the 1970s．Dr Lee Berk of Loma University Medical Centre，California，has been studying laughter therapy since the late 1970s．In 1989，Berk studied the effects of laughter in 10 men．Five men watched an one-hour-long comedy （喜�。� while another five didn't．The research showed that the men who watched the comedy and laughed developed better immune systems （免疫系統(tǒng)） compared to those who did not．Similarly，those who laughed during their treatment recovered faster．In India，Dr Madan Kataria started a laughter club in 1995 to encourage good health．From then on，this form of therapy has spread around the world．There are now more than 5，000 laughter clubs worldwide．
     People in these groups may feel uncomfortable at first because they feel laughter is forced （被強(qiáng)迫的），but once they give in and fully enjoy the 45-minute activity，they feel comfortable．People who take part in laughter therapy prove what scientists have known for years-laughter is the best medicine．

After school，I was about to enter into my apartment when I saw a little dirty dog lie beside the dustbin．He looked extremely weak．Immediately the homeless dog filled me of sympathy．So I decided to take him home．I gave him some food and a bath．After the bath he looked energy and refreshed．What a lovely dog!
When my parents got home，I asked that I could keep the dog．To my surprised and joy，they agreed．Up to now，he has become member of our family and everyone had enjoyed his company．Looked at the cute and happy dog today，I realize that it was right to help him．I offered him a shelter and he brought ourselves great happiness and laughter．

5．From ancient times，people have always asked the question：what is the essence of our life？Well，in my opinion，life is a journey which （61）is（be） full of beautiful flowers and big stones．
Since we were born，we have been destined（注定） to experience happiness and sufferings in our whole life．Many great men have said human beings are equal．However，Aristotle didn't think so．He said some men were born for slavery and others for（62）ruling（rule） others．As to these two opposite view points，I agree with the first and believe we should make （63）our efforts to make our life（64）meaningful（meaning）．
When I was 8years old，I started to go to school with my cousin，（65）who did well in study in our class．On the contrary，my ability to study was not as good as his，so I was （66）confused（confuse） and disappointed with myself．At home，I chatted with my mother．She told me it was normal for me （67）to come（come） across difficulties in studies（68）and that I should try to find good learning methods that were suitable for me．
Then I began to have classes and do homework carefully，so I succeeded in my study and I （69）was admitted（admit） to the famous YaleUniversity at last．（70）In conclusion，challenges and difficulties are like big stones in our life，and we should overcome them with confidence and hard work．
