They entertain us and make us feel good. But, above all, we have discovered that humor and laughter are the best medicine. They relieve pain, reduce stress and anxiety, and are anti-aging and longevity facilitators（促进者）. They are extremely necessary for helping us to find and maintain a balance between life and work. However, they are slipping away from us. We have bee far too serious. The only ones who still enjoy humor, laughter, fun and play to the fullest are young children. Children tend to laugh an average of 200 times a day. For adults, however, it is a totally different story.In the 1950s people laughed on average 18 times a day. Today, we are lucky if we average between 4-6 times a day.As a matter of fact, a recent study found that people laugh 6 more times in the presence of one person but 30 more times in a group of people. You can get a chuckle(咯咯笑) from jokes you get on the Internet, but it is not the same as belly jiggling laughter (a deep laugh) you get when you interact with others.Socializing(交际) with friends and relatives was much looked forward to. However, this is no longer the case. In fact, the majority of people can hardly find time, nor do they have the inclination towards socializing outside home. They turn to electronic media such as television, puters, the Internet, videos, CDs, and audio equipment, which can provide them with instant self-entertainment at the push of a button.The workplace does not develop much better. Due to the pressures to produce more in the same or fewer hours available and to pete, for example, in a manufacturing field with cheaper labor elsewhere in the world, humor and laughter in the workplace have gradually eroded（逐渐毁坏）away.I have developed a real appreciation, perhaps closer to a strong desire for the power of humor and laughter. This encouraged me to write my first book titled “The Power of Humor” and subsequently my second book titled “Kids Say the Goggonest Things” based on the natural humor, laughter, play and fun that kids experience and they freely share with parents, grandparents and teachers.From writing about humor and laughter, people start to ask me to speak up for them. To date, I have developed a number of humor-laughter topics that I use in my keynote presentations. You are invited to subscribe to my free monthly e-magazine “The Humormeisters Forum” by clicking on the Free Humor E-zine navigation button on the website.56. By what the author says in the article above, laughter is leaving us partly because _.A. the pace of change in our lives is being faster B. we fail to look back on fun times in our livesC. we treat everything in a serious wayD. humor of situations lies beneath57. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us that _.A. researchers have made a new discovery about the effect of laughterB. people laugh more heartily when spending time with othersC. we can entertain ourselves with the help of the InternetD. getting a deep laugh nowadays is difficult58. The underlined word “inclination” in Paragraph 5 most probably means “_”.A. destination B. tendency C. attitude D. approachBA dad of U.S gave up his job, quitting a massive salary, after his 10-year-old daughter gave him a 22-point list outlining all the events he missed so far during the year. As the CEO of the $2 trillion global investment fund PIMCO, Mohamed El-Erian shocked the finance industry when he quit in January. El-Erian said it was about a year ago when he was repeatedly asking his daughter to brush her teeth, but she wasnt listening. When he asked her why, she responded with a list of 22 milestones (里程碑)he had missed: like the first day of school and the first soccer game of the season.“And the school year wasnt yet over,” El-Erian wrote. “I felt awful and got defensive: I had a good excuse for each missed event! Travel, important meetings, and urgent phone call, sudden to-dos. But it dawned on me that I was missing an infinitely more important point. My work-life balance had gotten out of whack, and the imbalance was hurting my very special relationship with my daughter. I was not making enough time for her.” El-Erian explained he was struggling with the same thing so many parents dowork-life balance. Dads who are quitting their profit-making jobs to improve work-life balance is a subject that is getting more traction as some high-profile executive have recently written about their experiences. Last month, former MongoDB CEO Max Schireson wrote a blog post forTimeabout his decision to step down from the panys top job. He wrote that he struggled to make time for his three children because he was flying around half a million kilometers a year for work. “I was not with my kids when our puppy was hit by a car, or when my son had an emergency surgery,” Schireson wrote. On an overnight flight to Texas he woke up in Arizona to discover the plane made an emergency landing and some traumatized（心理受到创伤的） crew members had to be replaced. He decided it was time to address（处理） his work-life balance. Quitting is something El-Erian and Schireson were financially able to do, but El-Erian recognizes most people dont have this luxury. He hopes panies will pay attention to improving work-life balance for their employees. El-Erian now manages “a portfolio（投资组合）of part-time jobs” that dont require as much travel. He alternates mornings with his wife taking their daughter to school and he often picks her up from school. “So far, its been the right decision for me,” he wrote. “Im so grateful that this is providing me greater opportunity to experience key moments in my daughters life before theyre all too quickly gone.”59. A U.S father El-Erian resigned from PIMCO mainly because _.A.hisdaughterhasbeenmissinghimbadlyB.hewasgettingboredwiththeendlessflightsC.hehopedtogethisdaughtertolistentohis adviceD.hewantedtoexperiencehisdaughtersmilestones60.Whatdoestheunderlinedpart“mostpeopledonthavethisluxury”probablymean?A.Mostpeopledontliketheirjobs.B.Notalldadshavea10-year-olddaughter.C.Mostpeoplehavetoworkforfinancialsecurity.D.Notalldadsfacetheproblemofwork-lifebalance.61. What do we know about El-Erians life now? A. He now takes part-time jobs, which dont involve any business travels.B. He spends most of his day with his daughter. C. He manages to take his responsibilities as a father. D. He is now living an easy and relaxed life because he neednt go to work.62. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Many working parents can balance their career and family life well. B. CEOs are occupied with work and have no time for their family. C. Parents love cannot be replaced by money or jobs.D. Its never too late to see children grow up healthily. CFirst lady Michelle Obama turns 50 on Friday, Jan. 17, xx. Michelle Obama has spent the first half-century of her life breaking barriers and checking off a series of firsts. Now, as she reaches her milestone birthday Friday, the nation will be watching to see in what other areas she will leave her mark. Five years after moving into the White House, and without a re-election campaign to worry about, she has more room to relax in her role and, political watchers say, possibly bee more vocal(声音的)on political issues in the three years left in office. So far, critics have plained about Michelles silence on issues where they expected to hear her voice：Last year, at the start of her husbands second term, she disappointed advocates for tighter gun-control measures after she failed to push harder on the issue in response to the massacre(残杀) at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 1Newtown, Conn. She also disappointed some feminists(女权主义者)who wanted her to defend their causes instead of falling back on her self-described role as the nations “mom-in-chief.” Nor did she handle racial issues during her second term, as some had expected. “The most important thing to remember is, whether you are black, white or Hispanic, youre the first lady and the president of all the people in the United States. Thats a huge melting pot, so to reinforce(强化)that shes African American over anything else would not be wise,” said Anita McBride, who directs programming and national conferences on the legacies(遗产) of Americas first ladies and their historical influence at American University. Valerie Jarrett, a top white House adviser and a close friend of the Obamas, said the first lady doesnt want to “spread herself too thin.”“She really wants to have a maximum impact and to do that in fewer areas,” Jarrett told the Associated Press. “That,” she said, “is better than trying to take on every single possible cause.”But Robert Wasson, a Lynn University professor, said he expects Obama to “go a little harder at issues” over the next several years. “Second-term first ladies usually feel more at ease to speak more forcefully about issues close to their heart,” he said.Myra Gutin, a Ryder University munications professor and frequent lecturer on first ladies, said she expects Obama to continue making both of them a priority in her remaining years in the White House, given their success. Michelle launched the “Lets Move” campaign in xx. It in particular has gained widespread support, ranging from the National Football League to the Sesame Street franchise(特许), which even gave permission to the produce industry to use its licensed characters for free on fruits and vegetables.“Theres no such thing as a traditional first lady, not anymore in this technology-filled world. Is Mrs. Obama cutting edge? Is she an activist? No. As first ladies go, I think shes been politically careful because she does not want there to be a major flare-up that would require her husband to use his political capital to clean up,” she said. “But shes not exactly just sitting in
