Babies start laughing very soon after they are born. Deaf and blind people can laugh although they have never heard or seen anyone laughing. Laughing seems to be a part of nature, but what is it for?
Many people think that we laugh because we see or hear something funny; , most of the time this is not true. No one really knows the reasons why we laugh, but one idea is that it makes people feel good. Laughter can negative feelings and help people to feel closer to each other.
It also seems that laughter is good for your health. The writer Norman Cousins, had a serious back pain, wrote that watching comedy programs on TV helped him to feel better. He said that ten minutes of laughter gave him two hours of sleep without pain.

Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
More than 80% of American high school students do part-time jobs in the evening, on weekends, or in summers. These part-time jobs bring teenagers great advantages.
One of the benefits of the work is the students can learn the skills that will be useful for the rest of their lives. When the students work, they have to manage both the job and schoolwork. To be able to do so, they must be very organized and able to keep a sensible schedule. They also learn to cope with the job stress apart from the stress of the schoolwork. Some of the most stressful jobs include teaching, nursing, and police work. These skills help prepare teenagers for their later careers. High school students who work are more likely to succeed as adults than people who enter the job market at a later age with no work experience.
Teenagers want a lot of expensive things: clothes, mp3 players, smartphones, etc. Not all parents can afford them. And even if they can, the teens might not really appreciate that money because they did not earn it. When teenagers make money for themselves, they know its true value and are less likely to spend it foolishly.
According to the passage, some of the most _____ jobs include teaching, nursing and police work.
