doctors have begun to study laughter and the effects (作用) it has on the human body.They have found evidence that laughter really can improve peoples health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body.People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles.It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise.It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing.It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet.If laughter exercises the body, it must be helpful.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to make the effect of pain on the body less.In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs.The group which could bear the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program.The reason why laughter can make pain less seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins (内啡肽) in the brain.These are natural chemicals which make both stress and pain less.There is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the bodys immune system that is the system which fights infection (感染)In an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while another group served as the control groupin other words，a group with which to compare the first group.Doctors checked the blood of the students in both groups and found that the people in the group that watched the video had an increase in the activity of their white blood cells that is the cells which fight infection.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists (精神病学) in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients condition by encouraging them to laugh.They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce good effects similar to those caused by laughter.【语篇解读】这篇文章讲的是笑是良药，而且能减轻病人的痛苦，能够锻炼身体并提高人的免疫能力。医生现在开始研究笑及其对人身体的作用。1We learn from the first paragraph that laughter _.Ais good for ones healthBhas strong effects to do with some illnessChas been

name was Mr.Basille.He wore a white cap, and drove a white truck.As a fiveyearold boy, I couldnt take my eyes off the coin changer(硬币兑换器)，fixed to his belt.He noticed this one day during a delivery, and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk.There was cheese and eggs and so on.If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note，“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery，”and put it in the box along with the empty bottles.And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience.There was a close relationship between families and their milkmen.Mr.Basille even had a key to my house，for those times when it was so cold outside that we could box indoors，so that the milk wouldnt freeze.And I remember Mr.Basille from time to time, taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today.Big companies allow the production of cheaper milk, so making it difficult for milkmen to compete.Besides, milk is for sale everywhere.And it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories.I took it home and fixed it on the back porch(门廊)Every so often my sons friends will ask what it is, so I start telling stories of my boyhood，and of the milk man who brought us friendship along with his milk.【语篇解读】本文中给我们讲述了我们和送奶工的故事。送奶工和每个家庭建立了互相信任的亲密关系，甚至送奶工有我家的钥匙。现在没有送奶工了，我很怀念那样的时光。5Mr.Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his
