The great thing is that once weve had a good laugh, we feel happier. It would seem that bringing a bit of humour into more serious situations might be good for us.Maybe we should get inspiration from Steve Carlisle, president of General Motors of Canada. When he walks around the firms Ontario headquarters (總部), he shares his sense of humour to bond with his staff. He says “It can help people feel more relaxed, more fortable and thus be more effective at what they do.”Humour can be used by teachers in the classroom too. Its a good way to break the ice with students and create a more relaxing atmosphere which is good for learning, as long as everyone doesnt spend all their time in wild laughter!But we have to be careful; not everyone laughs at the same things. While some of us may admire a work colleague for his welltold joke, others may consider him rude or just an idiot! According to Professor Schweitzer, from the University of Philadelphias Wharton School, a worker who successfully uses humour is seen as both confident and petent, which in turn increases his status.So telling the right jokes in the office or classroom can spread some happiness. A study published in The Journal of Behavioural and Applied Management, found emotional exhaustion was significantly lower among healthcare workers who experienced greater levels of fun at work. And another research has discovered that teams who share more jokes give more supportive statements to each otherand thats no joke！(最后一段說(shuō)明幽默的益處，happiness, significantly, greater, supportive都是褒義詞匯，暗示作者的態(tài)度也是積極的、肯定的)【語(yǔ)篇解讀】文章介紹了幽默的作用。1How does the author prove the effect of humour in Paragraph 2?A.

When they influence you on your decision or action, its called peer pressure. All of us, at some point in our lives, have had to deal with peer pressure. The need to follow the crowd and do what majority of us are doing forces us to take up activities which we wouldnt otherwise.(說(shuō)明同輩壓力現(xiàn)象)Recent studies have shown that peer pressure might cause an_upside to you. It can make you reflect on your actions and make changes to your ways to bee a better one. Observing others working hard to reach their goals will definitely encourage you to make a great effort to achieve something positive. When a teen knows that his teammates are practising hard to bee better players then it will directly affect his own performance. He will put in twice the time and energy to raise the level of his game and ensure he has a place on the team.(同輩壓力的積極影響)(better、positive、healthy等褒義形容詞說(shuō)明同輩壓力有好處。)Having a group that brings positive peer pressure can also help you pick up healthy habits that can shape both your personality and your future. The motivation to do well because of pressure from your peers can actually bee inspiration. For example, when a child knows that some of his friends regularly read storybooks, he may get into the habit of reading. Seeing that his friends exercise daily, even he may take up the habit and adopt it in life. Just as some influences can be positive, some can be negative too. Peer pressure sometimes can make a dip in your selfconfidence. Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, or because they worry that others might make fun of them if they dont go along with the group. Others go along because they are curious to try something new. The idea that “everyones doing it” can influence them to leave their better judgment behind. (說(shuō)明同輩壓力的消極影響)Besides, peer pressure can distance you from your family and friends. It is mon for teenagers to think that nobody understands them and that the whole world is against them. The influence of peer pressure is such that it draws them pletely away from their family and friends who mean well. They just shut themselves off and fall into bad pany.(補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明同輩壓力的消極影響)Its likely that youve experienced the effect of peer pressure in different areas, ranging from the clothes you wear to the music you listen to. Sometimes it can be hard to resist and you may feel forced to do something youre unfortable with. So being aware of and carefully choosing the influence of peers that will lead to healthy and happy experiences is a lifelong process.(總結(jié)上文提出建議)【語(yǔ)篇解讀】文章介紹同輩壓力的好處、壞處，建議讀者利用同輩壓力的積極作用來(lái)幫助自己。8What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.
