    Laughter and tears are part of living. But do you find enough time for laughter? I am not asking if you   36   lots of good times.   37   we should laugh during the happy times. But do you also laugh during the   38   times?

    Erma Bombeck is known for her humorous books, but she wrote one that   39   a more serious topic：  40   in children．Erma talks with many children with cancer and learns   41   life lessons from them. She learns, for instance, that cancer survivors know how to   42  .

    She   43   the experience of 15--year--old Jessica from Burlinton．Jessica’s leg was cut off at the knee because of cancer. She was learning to   44   a prosthesis(假肢)．Jessica tells about playing   45  . She kicked the ball   46   and it flew off in one   47   while her artificial leg flew into another．She fell on the   48   and laughed.

    Jessica may not have laughed about her cancer，but she laughed about handling the__ 49   of it. And her laughter helped her a deal.

    There is the story of 17--year--old Betsy. She   50   her way to the radiation room for her regular radiation therapy(化疗). As   51 ，she dropped her hospital gown and，wearing only her birthday suit，  52   onto the table and waited．The extra people in the room were not the medical students she had thought，but   53   painters giving an estimate on painting! Betsy laughed heartily about the incident．And like Jessica, her   54   to laugh helped her to deal with one of the most difficult thing a young person can endure—cancer.

    Do you find plenty of   55   for laughter? You can if you also find reasons to laugh during the especially difficult times.

Survivors know how to laugh．If you can laugh even when the going is rough，you’ll make it. And you’ll smile at the end.
