Louie was my neighbor. He was a strong man with powerful hands. One day, when I saw him brush the dirt off a child’s injured knee, I was shocked by his kindness. Over time, I found that he was attractive. We both loved the same books, but when it came to music, we were from different planets. Most importantly, he loved my children as much as me. We fell in love. I was divorced (离婚) from an unlucky marriage, and I wondered if a new marriage would be the best thing for my daughters. I knew that Louie was wondering if his great love could help my daughters forget the damage caused by their father. One day my daughter Jenny told me that if I wanted to marry again, she would like me to marry some-one like Louie. Of course, Jenny gave Louie a speech about what she expected out of a father and what she would consider as proper behavior. I thought that Louie would run away, but he stayed on. Helen, my six-year-old daughter gave him advice, too. Finally, with tears in my eyes, I said, "Helen, I don’t know what’s inside some men’s hearts, but I know Louie’s heart. He loves you. He loves all of us, and if there is any-one who can be your 'real' Daddy, he can. I’m going to tell him 'yes', for all of us!" We had a celebration dinner that night. Louie, Helen, Jenny, Michelle and I drank to a new future, a new family, and a new hope, where children are always treasured (珍爱) and every Daddy is "real".

There is an English saying :“laughter is best medicine .”Until recently ,few people took the saying seriously .Now however ,doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body .They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health .

Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body .People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts ,blood pressure ,breathing and muscles .It was found that laughter had similar effects to physical exercise .It increases blood pressure ,the heart beating and breathing ; it also works several groups of muscles in the face ,the stomach ,and even the feet .If laughter exercises the body ,it must be beneficial .

Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body .In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes .The group that tolerated(忍耐)the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny programme .The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain .

As a result of these discoveries ,some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics ,in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh .They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing ,making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter .
