How can we all get more laughter into our lives? Here is what the experts suggest:
71 Nancy Alguire, a teacher in Clifton Park, N. Y., was once painfully shy and had a hard time laughing. Then she married a circus clown (小丑). “I became interested in the clowns,” she recalls “One day I put on a costume and paint my face. That afternoon my whole life changed. I learned to laugh and enjoy life in a way I had never done before.” 72 To this day, she still makes it a rule to be with people who enjoy life and laughing.
73 It doesn’t take you too much time and can be easy. Collect favorite cartoons and jokes. Also, keep a paper for writing down humor you find in everyday life. “Good ideas come and go fast, you have to catch them quickly or they are gone,” says Virginia Tooper.
Laugh when you need it most. “ 74 ” says comedian Bill Cosby. “And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it,” he insists.
Gray Alan, a sociology professor at the University of Minnesota, claims that laughter is a skill we can all gain – because it comes naturally. 75 Just remember: we are just here for a period, so get a few laughs.
A.Mix with people who laugh.
B.You can lessen your pain through humor.

Dear Sir,
I am a student from Xinhua Middle School and I am glad to learn that you need a few more part-time English reporters. Interested in the job, I am writing to apply for it because I think I am quite fit for it. As a student, I have not only a wide range of knowledge but also a good command of English. Besides, I am so good at writing that I have ever had such a similar experience as working as a reporter for my school broadcasting station. Also I am easy-going, skilled at communicating and always willing to work with others cooperatively. I am looking forward to your timely reply and hope that I will be lucky enough to take the job.
Yours sincerely, Li Hua
