JOIN THE LAUGHTER CLUB! 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 Trang 3/6 - Mã đề thi 132
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 any real reason. This false laughter soon turned into the real thing, and they realised they really could do without the jokes. The doctor had them try different kinds of laughter, stopping every now and then to practise deep breathing. Doctor 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 place will do as long as it is far away from peoples houses. That way the sound of 20 or so people all laughing together won t disturb people in their homes. Meetings are usually held early in the 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 headaches too. According to Dr Kataria, laughter clubs also help young people. Our teenage years can be difficult ones, he says, 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. Câu 32: According to the passage, doctor Kataria wanted to start a laughter club because.

Even before the turn of the century, movies began to develop in two major directions: the realistic and the formalistic. Realism and formalism are merely general, rather than absolute terms. When used to suggest a tendency toward either polarity, such labels can be helpful, but in the end they are still just labels. Few films are exclusively formalist in style, and fewer yet are completely realist. There is also an important difference between realism and reality, although this distinction is often forgotten. Realism is a particular style, whereas physical reality is the source of all the raw materials of film, both realistic and formalistic. Virtually all movie directors go to the photographable world for their subject matter, but what they do with this material - how they shape and manipulate it - determines their stylistic emphasis. Generally speaking, realistic films attempt to reproduce the surface of concrete reality with a minimum of distortion. In photographing objects and events, the filmmaker tries to suggest the copiousness of life itself. Both realist and formalist film directors must select (and hence emphasize) certain details from the chaotic sprawl of reality. But the element of selectivity in realistic films is less obvious. Realists, in short, try to preserve the illusion that their film world is unmanipulated, an objective mirror of the actual world. Formalists, on the other hand, make no such pretense. They deliberately stylize and distort their raw materials so that only the very naive would mistake a manipulated image of an object or event for the real thing. We rarely notice the style in a realistic movie; the artist tends to be self-effacing. Some filmmakers are more concerned with what is being shown than how it is manipulated. The camera is used conservatively. It is essentially a recording mechanism that reproduces the surface of tangible objects with as little commentary as possible. A high premium is placed on simplicity, spontaneity, and directness. This is not to suggest that these movies lack artistry, however, for at its best the realistic cinema specializes in art that conceals art. Câu 42: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Styles of filmmaking B. Filmmaking 100 years ago C. Film plots D. Acting styles Câu 43: With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree? A.
