The great thing is that once weve had a good laugh, we feel happier. It would seem that bringing a bit of humour into more serious situations might be good for us.Maybe we should get inspiration from Steve Carlisle, president of General Motors of Canada. When he walks around the firms Ontario headquarters (总部), he shares his sense of humour to bond with his staff. He says “It can help people feel more relaxed, more fortable and thus be more effective at what they do.”Humour can be used by teachers in the classroom too. Its a good way to break the ice with students and create a more relaxing atmosphere which is good for learning, as long as everyone doesnt spend all their time in wild laughter!But we have to be careful; not everyone laughs at the same things. While some of us may admire a work colleague for his welltold joke, others may consider him rude or just an idiot! According to Professor Schweitzer, from the University of Philadelphias Wharton School, a worker who successfully uses humour is seen as both confident and petent, which in turn increases his status.So telling the right jokes in the office or classroom can spread some happiness. A study published in The Journal of Behavioural and Applied Management, found emotional exhaustion was significantly lower among healthcare workers who experienced greater levels of fun at work. And another research has discovered that teams who share more jokes give more supportive statements to each otherand thats no joke！(最后一段说明幽默的益处，happiness, significantly, greater, supportive都是褒义词汇，暗示作者的态度也是积极的、肯定的)【语篇解读】文章介绍了幽默的作用。1How does the author prove the effect of humour in Paragraph 2?A.

It can make you reflect on your actions and make changes to your ways to bee a better one. Observing others working hard to reach their goals will definitely encourage you to make a great effort to achieve something positive.

He will put in twice the time and energy to raise the level of his game and ensure he has a place on the team.(同辈压力的积极影响)(better、positive、healthy等褒义形容词说明同辈压力有好处。)Having a group that brings positive peer pressure can also help you pick up healthy habits that can shape both your personality and your future.

For example, when a child knows that some of his friends regularly read storybooks, he may get into the habit of reading. Seeing that his friends exercise daily, even he may take up the habit and adopt it in life. Just as some influences can be positive, some can be negative too. Peer pressure sometimes can make a dip in your selfconfidence. Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, or because they worry that others might make fun of them if they dont go along with the group. Others go along because they are curious to try something new. The idea that “everyones doing it” can influence them to leave their better judgment behind.

The influence of peer pressure is such that it draws them pletely away from their family and friends who mean well. They just shut themselves off and fall into bad pany.(补充说明同辈压力的消极影响)Its likely that youve experienced the effect of peer pressure in different areas, ranging from the clothes you wear to the music you listen to.
