Kataria is the founder of the worldwide laughter movement. The celebration of World Laughter Day is a positive activity for world peace and is to build up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship through laughter. The first “World Laughter Day” gathering（集会）took place in Mumbai， India， on 11th January 1998. 12， 000 members from India and international Laughter Clubs attended it. Now there are about 5， 000 Laughter Clubs worldwide on all 5 continents.
“HAPPY-DEMIC” was the first World Laughter Day gathering outside India. It took place on 9th January 2000 in Copenhagen， Denmark. “World Laughter Day” is now organized on the first Sunday of May every year. Hundreds of people gather worldwide on that day to laugh together.
Today， the world has never faced so much unrest（动荡）before. People are at war within themselves. Laughter is a universal language， which has the ability to unite humanity without religion（宗教）. Laughter can build a common connection between various religions and create a new world order. So we believe that laughter and only laughter can unite the world， building up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship.
Studies also say that laughter helps your body do the following： lower blood pressure； reduce stress； work out the heart， especially for those who are unable to perform physical exercise. So in life， when you can laugh， you should laugh loudly and with your entire body—because it’s good for you.

When you are learning English， listening， speaking and writing are important， but reading can also be very helpful. Here are some good reading tips.
1. . Read something that you can understand. If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary， it is not interesting.
Try to increase the number of your new words. If there are four or five new words on a page， write them in your notebook. 2. . Instead， try to guess their meaning as you read： First mark them with a pen. Next come back to look them up in a dictionary. 3. . Finally spend some time remembering them.
Try to read regularly（定期地）. 4. . Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday. Fix a time to read and keep to it. You could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed， or when you get up or at lunchtime.
Read what interests you. Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like， because you are going to spend time and money reading it. 5. . You can also read newspapers. There are many English newspapers in China. It is easy enough to understand and also there is something interesting in it.
A. So， choose an interesting book. B. Try to read at the right level. C. For example， read for a short time once a day. D. But you don’t have to write them while you read. E. Then write them in your own vocabulary book. |
Some people think that they have an answer to the problems of automobile crowding and pollution in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle， or bike.
In a great many cities， hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City， some bike riders have even formed a group called “Bike for a Better City”. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.
For several years this group has been trying to get city government to help bicycle riders. For example， they want the city to paint special lanes—for bicycles only—on some of the main streets， because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars， there may be accidents. “Bike for a Better City” feels that if there were special lanes， more people would use bikes.
But no bicycle lanes have been painted yet. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea. Taxi drivers don’t like the idea—they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don’t like the idea—they say that if there is less traffic， they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.
The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends， Central Park—the largest open place in New York—is closed to cars， and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But “Bike for a Better City” says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown. Until that happens， the safest place to bicycle may be in the park.
