Why we cry with happiness show: Responding with a negative reaction helps us deal with extreme joy. If you cry with happiness at weddings, you are responding to a happy experience with a negative reaction. The researchers believe the unusual reaction may help renew emotional balance in our lives and keep extreme emotions under control. The findings make it clear how people express and control their emotions, which could help improve their understanding of people's mental health.
Dr Oriana Aragon set out to explore the phrase "tears of joy", which she said never made sense to her. But after studying a series of incongruous(不协调的) expressions, she now understands better why people cry when they are happy. "People may be renewing emotional balance with these expressions," she explained. "They seem to take place when people are struck by strong positive emotions. People, who do this, seem to recover better from those strong emotions."
The report shows various examples of responding to a positive experience with a negative emotion, such as a crying wife seeing the husband returning from the war again, and teenage girls screaming at a Justin Bieber concert. Examples also include a baseball player who hits a home run, only to be slapped(拍) on the back by teammates, as well as when people cannot help kissing babies' faces who they consider lovely.
Dr Aragon and her team discovered that people, who expressed negative reactions to positive news, were able to moderate(缓和) strong emotions more quickly. There is also some evidence that strong negative feelings may provoke positive expressions. For example, nervous laughter often happens when people are faced with a hard situation. We've seen people smiling during times of extreme sadness.
"The findings affect our knowledge of how people express and control their emotions, which is importantly related to mental and physical health, the quality of relationships with others, and even how well people work together," said Dr Aragon.
11.What will an extremely happy person do, according to the passage
A. He will jump with joy. B. He will keep silent.
C. He will calm down as usual. D. He will burst into tears.
12.By responding to happiness with negative reactions, people can _____.
A. hide the true feelings under a mask of politeness
B. renew emotional balance and control strong emotions
C. show off their rich emotions now and then
D. express themselves carefully in a special way
13.What does the underlined word "provoke" in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Lead to. B. Hold back. C. Take in. D. Get over.
14.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. It's common to express negative reactions to positive feelings.
B. When people cry, it means they are very happy.
C. Expressing and controlling emotions is important for humans.
D. There are differences between positive and negative emotions.

How Can I Fight Laziness
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
①______ Many people always lack sleep, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation(动力) once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more active method, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. ②______
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations (诱惑) that around them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. ③______ Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. ④______ Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may finally follow your example and perform their own tasks. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
⑤______ Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.
B. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
C. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
D. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.
E. To fight family laziness, set an example.
F. Knowing how to fight laziness is essential.

The idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play has an important part in keeping you healthy.
Treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.
Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it's for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive(认知的) falling.
Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, interesting and happier.

答案：
Dear Tom,
I'm glad to hear from you. I'm writing to tell you that Charlie Chaplin is my favourite comedian and I'd like to share with you something about him.
Chaplin was born in a poor area of London. At an early age, he was forced to join the mobile troupe, travelling all over the UK. Afterwards he began working in the movie business, and in 1914 in a film he created a tragedy “Charlot”, and this special image is also my favourite film image. It brings both amusement and thinking to the audience.
I like Chaplin especially because of his hard working and perseverant attitude to life and his career.
I'm looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
