a. to relax the audience and make them follow the main theme b. to make the difficult plot of the plays simple c. to help the audience understand the plays.d. to lead the development of the main plot.d 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 has an important part in keeping you healthy. use the best medicine to 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 its 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, interesting and happier. 32. what does the underlined word infectious in paragraph 2 probably mean?
