power of humor and laughter is numerousThey entertain us and make us feel goodBut，above all，we have discovered that humor and laughter are the best medicineThey relieve pain，reduce stress and anxiety，and are anti-aging and longevity facilitators They are extremely necessary for helping us to find and maintain a balance between life and workHowever，they are slipping away from usWe have become far too seriousThe only ones who still enjoy humor，laughter，fun and play to the fullest are young childrenChildren tend to laugh an average of 200times a dayFor adults，however，it is a totally different story In the 1950s people laughed on average 18times a dayToday，we are lucky if we average between 4-6times a day As a matter of fact，a recent study found that people laugh 6more times in the presence of one person but 30more times in a group of peopleYou can get a chuckle（咯咯笑） from jokes you get on the Internet，but it is not the same as belly jiggling laughter （a deep laugh） you get when you interact with others Socializing with friends and relatives was much looked forward toHowever，this is no longer the caseIn fact，the majority of people can hardly find time，nor do they have the inclinationtowards socializing outside homeThey turn to electronic media such as television，computers，the Internet，videos，CDs，and audio equipment，which can provide them with instant self-entertainment at the push of a button The workplace does not fare（进展） much betterDue to the pressures to produce more in the same or fewer hours available and to compete，for example，in a manufacturing field with cheaper labor elsewhere in the world，humor and laughter in the workplace have gradually eroded（逐渐毁坏） away I have developed a real appreciation，perhaps closer to a strong desire for the power of humor and laughterThis encouraged me to write my first book titledThe Power of Humorand subsequently my second book titledKids Say the Goggonest Thingsbased on the natural humor，laughter，play and fun that kids experience and they freely share with parents，grandparents and teachers From writing about humor and laughter，people start to ask me to speak up for themTo date，I have developed a number of humor-laughter topics that I use in my keynote presentationsYou are invited to subscribe to my free monthly e-magazineThe Humormeisters Forumby clicking on the Free Humor

back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girlIt was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently diedI asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven Yes，honeyOf courseshe said Can we write him a letter？ She paused，the longest pause of my short life，and answered，Yes My heart jumpedHow？Does the mailman go there？I asked No，but I have an ideaMom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloonI asked her what it was for Just wait，honeyYoull seeMom told me to write my letterEagerly，I got my favorite pen，and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue inkI wrote about my day，what I learned at school，how Mom was doing，and even about what happened in a story I had readFor a few minutes it was as if Dad were still aliveI gave the letter to MomShe read it over，and a smile crossed her face She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped （缠绕） the balloon stringWe went outside and she gave me the balloonIt was still raining Okay，on the count of three，let goOne，two，three The balloon，carrying my letter，darted upward against the rainWe watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds Later I realized，like the balloon，that Dad had never let his sickness get him downHe was strongNo matter what he suffered，hed persevere，dart up，and finally transcend this cold world and his sick bodyHe rose into sky and became something beautifulI watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditaryI prayed to be a balloon 25.When the girl was told that she could send a letter to her father，she _

called Scrubba Wash Pack，that worry may be a thing of the past The portable washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2020，while planning to climb MtKilimanjaroStruck by the limited packing space，he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothesThen he quitted his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bags designBy 2020，the bag was ready for the publicIt weighed only 180grams and required very little storage space，making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light Not surprisingly，the bag worth 55dollars was an instant hit with travelers，university students and even passengersHowever，Newland was not satisfiedHe still saw a flaw with his invention-dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag!The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem In order to make the pack active，dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of waterThe bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out and the clothes are massaged for a few minutesAfter a quick wash，they are clean and ready to be driedAccording to Newland，the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks!Whats even more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13-liters of water，it can be used to wash more clothes at a time The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year，only weighs 300grams and is completely foldable，making it easy to store when its not in useWith the Scrubba Wash Pack，wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop，or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past! 28.What led Ash Newland to create the Scrubba Wash Bag？ _ A.His job requirements B.A traditional washboard C.His interest in invention D.His personal experience 29.Why wasnt Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention？ _ A.Clothes couldnt be washed well B.The invention was not so convenient C.The bag couldnt contain enough water D.The cost of the invention was very high 30.It can be inferred that the improved Wash Pack _ A.turns to be much environmentally friendlier B.will replace the traditional washing machines C.will be widely used by more travelers in the future D.can encourage more people to travel a long distance 31.What is the passage mainly about？ _ A.Introducing a great new invention B.Explaining the development of backpack C.Listing some common problems for travelers D.Comparing two kinds of washing machinesDRebecca，who is a 25-year-old woman，has a rare conditionShe can remember all the events
