Laura Fagan, a 29-year-old British girl, has a special job. She is paid well to taste chocolate, desserts and cakes. [

Laura works in the famous supermarket, Tesco. Her job is to try different kinds of desserts. She needs to try as many as 20 desserts a day. Also, she always travels for work. She needs to travel to different cities to try different desserts.

Although the job seems to be great, it is hard. Usually, Laura begins trying desserts as early as 8 am, and is still trying new desserts at 6 pm before she goes back home. Luckily, the job hasn’t made her too heavy. She only worries about her teeth.

“Of course I was afraid of becoming fat when I started the job, so I try to do exercise as often as possible. The main thing is my teeth. I don’t think my dentist will be happy if I tell her what I do, so I try to brush my teeth as often as possible,” Laura told a reporter. She goes to the gym to keep slim (苗条的) and takes more care of her teeth after trying the desserts. She said, “When I tell people what I do, they say it’s the best job in the world.”

Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world.

The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995, by Dr Madan Kataria. “Children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr Kataria. “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing — it’s the universal (共同的) language.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.

Many doctors are also interested in the effects (影响)of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLS School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.

So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to the nearest club in the south of London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class. I had no interest in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid (愚蠢的). Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands (拍手) and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha” while looking at each other. Although we couldn’t tell the differences between fake laughter and real laughter, they still produced the same healthy effects.

Surprisingly, it worked! After ten minutes, everybody there was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was shocked by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing.

1.The passage is probably taken from 　　　　.

A. a storybookB. a health magazine C. a comic bookD. a travel magazine

2.The writer was nervous at the beginning of the class because 　　　　.

A. he was not clever enough

B. he wasn’t interested in laughing at all

C. he wasn’t good at getting along with others

D. he knew no one there and was afraid it would look silly to laugh for no reason
