Passage Two

Why do we laugh For years scientists have asked themselves, this question. No animals laugh and

smile 一 only human beings do. So does laughing help us to live longer

The answer seems t0 11e in that smiling and. laughing help us to become less worried and calm,

preventing illnesses that are caused by stress. Laughing is really the best medicine.

But if you're unhappy, it can't do you any good to smile, can it

That’s not true. It is clear that smiling works just in the same way whether you feel like smiling or

not. Scientists in California asked a group of students to act five different feelings: happiness, sadness,

anger, surprise and fear 一 just using their faces. Changes in their heart rate, blood pressure and

temperature were recorded. Most of the feelings they acted didn't cause changes, but when the students

smiled, their heart rate and their blood pressure went down. That happened even though they were only

acting! So even if we feel sad inside, smiling seems to make us feel better.

Now, what makes us laugh (82) It seems that the answer to the question is far from simple. Everyone

likes jokes, but we don't laugh at the same ones. It depends largely on how old we are. There are some

jokes, for example, that children love but older people might not find funny.

B. comparing human beings with animals

C. finding out if any research has been done about laughing

D. the degree to which laughing and smiling are helpful

49. The passage tells us that smiling and laughing .

A. have nothing to do with one's heart rate B. do one no good when one is sad
