Fifty years ago, zoos were places where people could go to see animals from many parts of world. The animals lived in cages that were easy to keep clean. However, for the animals, the cages were small and impossible to hide in. Although the zoo keepers took good care of them, many of the animals did not feel comfortable, and they often become ill.

In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural conditions.

The animals are given more freedom in larger places so that they can live as they could in nature .In an American zoo , visitors can walk through a huge special cage that  is filled with trees , some small animals and may birds .Some zoos have special places for visitors to watch animals that live in the desert or under water . Some other zoos have special places for animals that live in cold conditions like the bear from Arctic.

Modern zoos not only show animals, but also keep and save rare animals, for the reason the grandchildren of today’s visitors will still be able to enjoy watching the se animals.

Do you want to live a happier , less stressful (有压力的) life 、Try laughing for no reason at all . Th at’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world ---and many doctors now think that having a good laugh  might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.

The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai , India , in 1995 by Dr Madam Kataria . “

Young children laugh about 300 times away. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day , ”says Dr Kataria .‘Everyone’s naturally good at laughing ---it’s the with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1 300 worldwide.

Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health .According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California ,with laughing there is less stress in the body .Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%

So, what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest ---I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say‘ho ho ho, ha ha ha,” while looking at each other .However,our bodies can’ t tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter , so they still produce the same healthy effects.
