According to the law, all children between five and sixteen must go to school on weekdays, and their parents must make sure of this.The number of children missing school is increasing. The government is worried, because, according to a research, children who often dont go to school are more likely to smoke, drink under age or do some other bad things. Also, its difficult for them to do well in exams. What more, its harder for them to get a job after they leave school. Since 2002,the police have kept checking town centers where truants (逃学者) often go. These happen twice a year. During each check, a student will be stopped and asked why they are not in school. This will happen even if they are with an adult. The police will stop and question children who they think do not have a reason for being out of school. The police are not allowed to catch truants, but they can take them back to school.

People wore special wristbands(腕带). Some of them were asked to watch comedies while others watched serious programs. Then the scientists tightened(勒紧)the wristbands to see how much pain the people could feel.The other test was done at an art festival. Some people watched a comedy show and others watched a drama(戏剧). At the same time, they had to put their backs against the wall and keep their legs bent(弯曲的)just like sitting on a chair. They did this before and after the show.Scientists found that just 15 minutes of laughter improves peoples ability to stand pain by 10%. However, the serious programs and the drama didnt make a difference to pain at all.The study found that the magic power of laughter comes from endorphins(内啡肽). These are chemicals(化学物质). They are produced by the human body. They make you feel less pain and can make people feel happier. Exercise can produce endorphins. Your muscles(肌肉)move in and out when you are laughing. Scientists believe that this makes your muscles tiring, so we start to produce endorphins.Scientists also found that the only real and relaxing laughter works not just polite laughter.Next time you have a headache, get together with a group of Mends, watch a funny movie and laugh. You will soon feel a lot better because laughter is the best medicine.（1）Scientists knew how much pain the people felt by_ in the first experiment.

Luckily, here are several suggestions for you to make homework easy.Make a homework planMost middle school students have two or three hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you may need to spend even more time. It is a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule(进度表), especially if you are going to do sports or other activities after school.Watch where you workA bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise is good for you to do your homework. But dont study on your comfortable bed, or you might fall asleep there.Take a breakMost peoples attention (注意力) dont last very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive(多产的) than if you stop to take a break regularly. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good way for most people.Get help when you need itSometimes even though you are listening carefully in class, some subjects seem too hard. The first person to ask for help is your teacher. He or she may be able to work with you before or after school and explain things more clearly. Your classmates may also be able to give you a hand. However, this might not give you the results you want. Lots of people understand something well but are not able to explain it.Title: Homework HelpTopicHomework can be quite hard, but there is something you can do to make homework much _.Useful _Making ahomework planHeavy homework means_more time on your study, so it is a good idea to have a homework plan so that you can _in all kinds of after-school activities._where you workIt is necessary for you to study in a_place, so a bedroom or a study is a good choice.Taking a breakIf you_too long without relaxing, your mind may wander.
