kid，or pretend to fall into a pile of leaves to amuse a firstgrader.As kids grow into preteens(about 11 or 12)and teens(13 to 19)，you can share jokes as their sense of whats funny becomes better.Humor is what makes something funny；a sense of humor is the ability to recognize it.Someone with a welldeveloped sense of humor has the ability to recognize whats funny in others and can amuse them as well.A good sense of humor is a tool that kids can rely on throughout life to help them.Kids with a welldeveloped sense of humor are happier and more optimistic，have higher selfesteem，and can handle differences(their own and others)well.And a good sense of humor doesnt just help kids emotionally or socially.Research has shown that people who laugh more are healthiertheyre less likely to be depressed and may even have an increased resistance to illness or physical problems.They experience less stress，have lower heart rates，pulses，and blood pressure，and have a better digestion(消化能力)Laughter may even help humans better endure pain，and studies have shown that it improves our immune(免疫的)function.But most of all，a sense of humor is what makes life fun.We tend to think of humor as part of our genetic makeup，like blue eyes or big feet.But its not true.A sense of humor actually is a learned quality.Kids can start developing a sense of humor at a very young age.Babies dont really understand humor，but they do know when youre smiling and happy.When you make funny noises or faces and then laugh or smile，your baby is likely to sense your joy and imitate (模仿) you.Sometime between 9 and 15 months, babies know enough about the world to understand that when Mom puts a piece of cloth on her head, shes doing something unexpected and that its funny.To help kids at each stage of development, parents should know whats likely to amuse them.【语篇解读】幽默感能够使整个家庭及其成员健康快乐，特别是对孩子来说尤为重要。家长可以根据孩子的年龄特点和身心发展来培养孩子的幽默感。1Which of the following people do you think can best
