According to a paper published by the British Medical Journal, laughter isn’t always the best medicine. Sometimes it can even be harmful. Professor Robin Ferner from the University of Birmingham, one of the authors of the study, found that bad things could happen to people who laughed too much. He says: “We found people with heartbeat problems which had stopped their heart, we found people who had fainted(昏倒), and we f ound people who’d dislocated their jaws or burst their lungs.”It seems that laughing can be no laughing matter. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Professor Ferner says there are benefits to laughing when you want to lose weight, for example. Yes, that’s ri ght: laugh and be slimmer! Professor Ferner explains that: “You use energy when you laugh, you move your diaphragm(横膈膜), you expand your lungs, and both those things can be helpful.”According to the research, laughing for a quarter of an hour can burn up to 40 calories, and if you laughed all day you’d use up about 2,000 calories, which is what most people consume in a day. But don’t do that or you might end up with a painful jaw. Ouch! Or you might find people looking at you in a funny way.But I don’t wa nt to finish this article leaving you feeling desperate.

Deciding to make some stir-fried tomatoes and eggs, a popular Chinese dish, to impress his foreign friends, Lan asks his parents in China for help. Despite the 12-hour time difference, the parents wake up at 4 am to make a how-to-video for their son.The ad has been viewed over 1.2 million times since it was posted online on Thursday, and has received mixed reactions from Chinese netizens.Some called it a heart-wrenching demonstration of parental love, sharing their own moving moments with their parents.“When I studied abroad, my mother also taught me how to cook delicious dishes over the Internet, so that I would not starve and could enjoy my life in a foreign country, “wrote a netizen on Sina Weibo, adding that the ad brought her to tears.Others showed a different opinion, criticizing the parents for spoiling the boy."Chinese parents spoil their children. I think it’s heartless and not touching to wake your parents up in the middle of the night just to satisfy your vanity to impress others. Such parental love would only destroy a child, rather than make him/her independent,” wrote a netizen."I think the boy is dumb to ask his parents for help, as a casual online search of the recipe can offer at least 6 millio n results.

It seems familiar but distant. I s ee my friends gather by a stage where music is playing and I run over. As I begin running towards them, theybecome further and further away. I keep calling them, but no one hears me. I start hearing a distant alarm-like sound and I am transported away. I woke up in a daze sitting in my bed.“Oh, it was only a dream,” I said to myself. I have always had vivid and intense dreams. It feels like I haven’t even slept because I have been living out my dreams during my sleep.Today, dreaming is being studied even more than ever. Some say that dreams are how your receptors make sense of random thoughts while you sleep. Some say that you can’t dream of a face you have never seen before, so everyone you see in your dreams you have at least laid eyes on at one time or another.Other people think dreams are ways of expressing stress or internal feelings you may be experiencing. A lot of people say that they have dreams about “being chased”.A common interpretation of the “being chased” dream is that you are feeling thre atened. Some dream interpretation websites say you should try to reflect on what or who is chasing you to get a better idea of what is making you feel this way.Another dream that is often experienced is flying. This dream has a much more positive interpretation, which is that you are feeling free or have broken out of a bad situation such as a relationship turned sour or a job you hate.Unfortunately, you may forget half of your dream within five minutes of waking up and within ten minutes, you usually forget 90% of it.Dreamologists, people who devote time to the study and interpretation of dreams, suggest if you want to try to remember and study your dreams you should keep a journal beside your bed and write down what you dreamt as soon as you wake up so you can reflect on it later.13. In which situation do dreams of “being chased” probably mean?A.You are feeling free.B.You just quit a job you hate.C.You lack the sense of security.D.Your friends keep you at a distance.14.
