JOIN THE LAUGHTER CLUB! 7 A lot of research had been done suggesting that laughter is good for us and there are many benefits to the mind and body. In 1995, Dr Madan Kataria decided to follow up on the research findings. He went to a public garden in the city of Mumbai, in India and spoke to people there about starting a laughter club. At first, not everyone was enthusiastic but as he explained the health benefits of laughter, a number of people showed interest and the first laughter club was born. It had just four members, who would stand and tell jokes in a quiet corner of the garden to get each other to laugh. Although everyone enjoyed the fun, they soon ran out of good jokes. So Dr Kataria decided the club members would laugh without jokes at their future meetings. From then on, they started their meetings by laughing out loud without real reason. This false laughter soon turned into the real thing, and they realised they could do without the jokes. The doctor had them try different kinds of laughter, stopping every now and then to practise deep breathing. Docor Kataria also came up with some stretch exercises for the neck and shoulder muscles they could do as well as deep breathing. Today there are about 6,000 laughter clubs in 60 countries around the world. The members of these clubs get together daily or weekly to laugh together for about 20 minutes. They gather in parks and on beaches. Any outdoor public places will do as long as it is far away from people s houses. Mã đề thi: 467 Trang 2

3 That way the sound of 20 or so people laughing together won t disturb people in their homes. Meetings are usually held early morning when there is less air pollution. These clubs appeal to people for a number of reasons. Firstly, there are the health benefits: club members say that it helps them with their asthma and it can help with their headaches too. According to Dr Kataria, laughter clubs also help young people. Our teenage years can be difficult ones, he says, 22 and laughing can help us get rid of feelings like anger or jealousy. It can also help with the stress young people often experience at school or college. In addition, people form friendships, at laughter clubs, and will usually lend a hand to any club member who is in trouble. For example, when the shop of one laughter club member burnt down, the other members raised some of the money he needed to rebuild his shop. People who have few friends or relatives find that loneliness is less of a problem after they join a laughter club because they get to know the other people. So, if you feel that laughter has been missing from your life recently, why not find out if there is a laughter club in your area? It might be just what the doctor ordered. 21: Why did Doctor Kataria want to start a laughter club? A. He didn t think people in India laughed enough. B.

4 Read the following article about young people who are planning different activities and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40. Katie I first heard about this place through a friend of mine who d celebrated her birthday there. It s a forest adventure course where you walk across rope bridges that go between the tree tops, swing like Tarzan and go down really fast zip slides! It sounds like great fun so I m going there next weekend with some friends. We re under 18 so Mum is going to come with us, too! I don t know if she ll enjoy the experience but we ll give her lots of encouragement. My younger brother won t be able to come because he s not ten yet. The safety arrangements seem good since we will be wearing safety harnesses all the time and the instructors always give training before a course starts about how to avoid taking risks. It ll take about three hours to complete the course so we re going to make an early start. I can t wait! Carol I always thought that I d have to go to Egypt or somewhere like that to have a ride on a camel (outside of a zoo, that is) but I was wrong! I ve discovered a place where I can go camel riding in England! I m dying see my friends faces when I m up on a camel and walking past them along the country lane! So anyway, my day out is going to start by putting a bridle and saddle on the animal. Fortunately, they re supposed to be friendly creatures, better than horses, for example. I once had a bad experience on a horse but the instructors at the center assured me that I would have no problem there. During the ride, the instructors will be giving some information about camels and their habits. I think I m going to enjoy it all very much! Luke Well, I like the heat and love exploring so I m going on a trekking expedition through the jungles of Thailand! We leave next Saturday so I m packing my gear. All the money raised from the expedition will go to a local school out in Thailand. The seven-day trip includes rafting, kayaking, and elephantriding so we re going to be busy. We ll also be visiting the original Bridge on the River Kwai, which was built by prisoners-of-war during the Second World War. I suppose the trek might be a bit tiring but I m fairly fit and my parents often go on trekking holidays, so they should be OK. I ve got a new rucksack but I m not going to fill it full of useless stuff, only the bare minimum. I won t forget a mosquito net, though, since I m allergic to mosquito bites! Ben My dream has always been to go bareback horse-riding and it is going to come true next month! Yes, I m spending ten days on a ranch in Mexico, going horse-riding every day. Ever since I was a young boy, I ve loved horses and my parents sent me to a riding school from the age of seven. When I was in my teens, though, the stables caught fires and stopped my lessons. Now is my opportunity to get back on a horse and really ride! The highlight will be when we go bareback riding with Native Americans! I ve always been fascinated by their culture and they ll be talking to us about the early years in their country. There ll be bareback swimming as well that s when the horses swim in the river and we ride them bareback. It s a once-in-life experience! 31: is determined not to carry a lot of equipment. A.
