Humor If you see humor as an optional form of entertainment，you're missing some of its biggest benefits：Humor makes average-looking people look cute and uninteresting people seem entertaining．Studies show that a good sense of humor even makes you seem smarter．
    Best of all，humor raises your energy，and that can have an effect on everything you do at school，at work，or in your personal life．The increase of energy will even make you more willing to exercise，and that will raise your overall energy even more．
    Humor also transports your mind away from your daily troubles．Humor lets you better understand life and sometimes helps you laugh at even the worst of your problems．
    In my experience，most people think they have a sense of humor，and to some degree that's true．But not all senses of humor are created equal．So I thought it would be useful to include some humor tips for everyday life．
    You don't have to be the joke teller in the group in order to show your sense of humor．You can be the one who directs the conversation to fun topics that are ripe for others to add humor．Every party needs a straight person．You'll appear fun and funny by association．
    When it comes to in-person humor，effort counts a lot．When people see you trying to be funny，it frees them to try it themselves．So even if your own efforts at humor fall short，you might be freeing the long kept humor in others．People need permission to be funny in social settings because there's always a risk that comes with humor．For in-person humor，quality isn't as important as you might think．Your attitude and effort count a lot．
    Some people-and I was one of them-believe that humorous complaints about the little problems of life make humor，and sometimes that is the case．The problem comes when you start doing too much complaint-based humor．One funny observation about problem in your life can be funny，but five is just complaining，no matter how smart you think you are．Funny complaints can wear people out．
    Self-deprecating（自嘲式） humor is usually the safest type，but here again you don't want to overshoot the target．One self-deprecating comment is a generous and even confident form of humor．You have to be at least a bit self-assured to laugh at yourself in front of others．But if you do it too often，you can transform in the eyes of others from a confident joker to a Chihuahua dog．

    ．you can't come to see him during this period．"
        Three months later，the boy's father （4）

  • 2．Muzak The next time you go into a bank，a store，or a supermarket，stop and listen．What do you hear？（1）
    ．It's similar to the music you listen to，but it's not exactly the same．That's because this music was especially designed to relax you，or to give you extra energy．Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing，but you react to the music anyway．
       Quiet background music used to be called "elevator （電梯） music" because we often heard it in elevators．But lately we hear it in more and more places，and it has a new name "Muzak"．About one-third of the people in America listen to "Muzak" every day．The music plays for 15 minutes at a time，with short pauses in between．It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning，and between three and four in the afternoon，when people are more tired．（2）
    ．
       If you listen to Muzak carefully，you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs．Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak，but others are happy when their songs are chosen．Why？（3）
    ．
       Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel．It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do．Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background． （4）
    ．Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries．
       （5）
    ．They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time．But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places．They say it helps them relax and feel calm．One way or another，Muzak affects everyone．Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!

    A．Some people don't like Muzak．
    B．The music gives them extra energy．
    C．Music is playing in the background．
    D．Factory workers produce 13 percent more．
    E．Muzak tends to help people understand music better．
    F．They get as much as＄4 million a year if their songs are used．
    G．Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world．
