Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now however, 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 group-in 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.（1） We learn from the first paragraph that laughter .

It might be because we think another driver has done something very stupid. Whatever the reason, it seems that getting angry in a car is something which happens more and more often and there is now a special term for itroad rage. What do we know about road rage?There are two kinds of road rage: aggressive (侵略的；侵犯的) driving and aggressive reactions to the way other people are driving. Aggressive driving can take different forms:Driving much faster than the speed limit (限制). Increasing your speed very quickly. Changing lanes very suddenly and stopping another car. There are also different reactions to the way other people are driving. These include:Making rude signs at people. Shouting at people and hitting someone. Driving into another persons car on purpose(故意)Road rage is certainly not a joke. There have been accidents of road rage which have led to serious injuries(伤势) and even death. Experts think that one reason for road rage is that films show a lot of examples of fast and aggressive driving which seems to be positive(积极的). Experts also think that the punishments for dangerous driving are not serious enough. Experience shows that driving problems can be controlled, but it takes a long time. In the UK in the last 30 years, the police have been quite successful in reducing the number of people who drink and drive.
