Question

8．A group of men and women are standing around in a circle．First，someone starts to laugh．Then a few more people begin to laugh．Soon，the whole group are laughing．They are not laughing because someone has said something funny．Instead，this group of people are practicing laughter therapy （療法）．
     When we laugh from being tickled （胳肢） or after hearing a joke，our bodies and minds feel good．Laughing is also contagious．When one person laughs，the people around him or her will soon start laughing，too．
     Laughter therapy has been used in hospitals since the 1970s．Dr Lee Berk of Loma University Medical Centre，California，has been studying laughter therapy since the late 1970s．In 1989，Berk studied the effects of laughter in 10 men．Five men watched an one-hour-long comedy （喜劇） while another five didn't．The research showed that the men who watched the comedy and laughed developed better immune systems （免疫系統） compared to those who did not．Similarly，those who laughed during their treatment recovered faster．In India，Dr Madan Kataria started a laughter club in 1995 to encourage good health．From then on，this form of therapy has spread around the world．There are now more than 5，000 laughter clubs worldwide．
     People in these groups may feel uncomfortable at first because they feel laughter is forced （被強迫的），but once they give in and fully enjoy the 45-minute activity，they feel comfortable．People who take part in laughter therapy prove what scientists have known for years-laughter is the best medicine．
