使人青春永驻的秘诀是什么?对这个人人都感兴趣的问题大家可能会有完全不同的Keys，但对于“笑一笑，十年少”这句口头禅中所蕴涵的哲理，所有的人都会坚信不疑。那么开怀大笑为什么会具有如此大的魔力呢?
Some people say that laughter(笑声) is the best medicine. Scientists are beginning to agree with this. They are studying laughter carefully and have found out it is really good for us.
So what will happen when we laugh? We use 15 different parts in our face when we laugh, and laugh is good for every other part in our body. When we laugh, we take in air quickly and the face, back, and other parts will move. The body gets better in this way. Our hearts beat more slowly and our head works better. Laugh can also kill the pain in our body.
One minute’s laugh is the same as 45 minutes’ rest of the body. Many doctors around the world believe that laughing helps us get better when we are ill.
Of course, there are many kinds of laughter. We may change the way we laugh in different places. But we all laugh in our own way. How do you usually laugh?

Bernard Shaw Felt Sorry
萧伯纳的遗憾
被人撞倒并且搞得满身污泥，你肯定会怒火冲天，要求肇事者道歉。可天底下竟然有个叫萧伯纳的大文学家，碰到这样的倒霉事，却反过来向对方表示“遗憾”，那他是在耍幽默还是脑子有问题呢?
After a lot of writing， Bernard Shaw wanted to go to the countryside and stay there for a rest.
One sunny afternoon, Mr. Shaw was having a walk in the quiet field. The air was fresh and the land was beautiful. He was very happy. When he was walking along, a man riding a bike ran into him and Mr. Shaw fell to the ground, slipped to the muddy field before he could stand up.
The man was very sorry and came off his bike to help Mr. Shaw to stand up. Luckily, Shaw was not hurt.
“I’m very sorry,” said the man.
“Oh, no,” said Bernard Shaw, shrugging his shoulders. “It’s me who should say sorry. I’m sorry for not giving any luck to you.”

The Two Drunkards
两个酒鬼
人们常说：酒后吐真言。其实，醉鬼们在醉得一塌糊涂时很少说出真心话来，而更可能说一些令人捧腹的胡言乱语。这则小故事里，两个喝得酩酊大醉的酒鬼不期而遇，于是二人之间开始了一番精彩的对话，你想听听吗?
Mr. Hill worked in a middle school. There he taught physics. He was friendly to his students and could make his class lively and interesting. The students liked him though he was strict with them. But Mr. Hill loved drinking when he was free.
One summer Mr. Hill went to a small town by the sea for his holiday. When he came out of the railway station, he was thirsty and hungry. He got on a bus and reached the nearest restaurant to drink something. He stayed there for about two hours. With the help of the waiter he left the restaurant at a quarter to eleven. Standing in the middle of the street, he didn’t know where to go. He looked around and found a drunkard was lying on the ground.
“Excuse me, sir,” Mr. Hill said to the drunkard. “Is it the sun or the moon in the sky?”
“Go and ask other people in this place,” said the drunkard. “I’ve been here for the first time.”
