(2020·合肥第二次质检)The idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an important part in keeping you healthy.
Treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared
between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.
Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it’s for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive(认知的) falling.
Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, more interesting and happier.

(2020·安徽省示范高中模拟) “Joe? Is that you？” The woman speaking to me at the baseball game looked a little familiar. “Marci？” I asked. “It is you！” she cried out, smiling broadly. “It’s good to see you again！”
It was good to see Marci, too. Off and on during the past few decades, I’ve wondered about her. I almost tried to search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that
the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci. So meeting her at the baseball game was really a surprise.
We spent a few minutes talking about our lives—the good old and bad old days. Then Marci grew quiet for a moment. “You know, Joe，” she said, “I’ve always wanted to tell you how...how...sorry I am for the way I treated you. You must have been hurt both physically and mentally.” It was a little embarrassed. I turned and looked at her. “It’s OK，” I said, “No big deal！” “But I was such a jerk，” she continued. “Yes, you were，” I thought. “We were both pretty young，” I smiled. “I know，” she said. “It’s just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you. And I’ve wanted to tell you that I’m sorry.” The expression on her face was warm and sincere. And there was something in her eyes—it looked a lot like relief. “OK，” I said. “Apology accepted！” Overcome by the sweetness of the moment, I reached an arm around her and gave her a quick hug. Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game. By the time I looked over to where she had been and she was gone. But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to this day whenever I think about it.
It isn’t enough to just say “I’m sorry” and “You’re forgiven”. But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed, they can open the door to miracles of the heart. Forgiveness can bring peace to an injured soul—even years after the fact. Even at a baseball game.
