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.
