These are my plan for the summer vacation．What’s yours? I am lookingto your earliest reply．

Humor

If you see humor as an optional form of entertainment，you're missing some of its biggest benefits：Humor makes average﹣looking people look cute and uninteresting people seem entertaining．Studies show that a good sense of humor even makes you seem smarter．

Best of all，humor raises your energy，and that can have an effect on everything you do at school，at work，or in your personal life．The increase of energy will even make you more willing to exercise，and that will raise your overall energy even more．

Humor also transports your mind away from your daily troubles．Humor lets you better understand life and sometimes helps you laugh at even the worst of your problems．

In my experience，most people think they have a sense of humor，and to some degree that's true．But not all senses of humor are created equal．So I thought it would be useful to include some humor tips for everyday life．

You don't have to be the joke teller in the group in order to show your sense of humor．You can be the one who directs the conversation to fun topics that are ripe for others to add humor．Every party needs a straight person．You'll appear fun and funny by association．

When it comes to in﹣person humor，effort counts a lot．When people see you trying to be funny，it frees them to try it themselves．So even if your own efforts at humor fall short，you might be freeing the long kept humor in others．People need permission to be funny in social settings because there's always a risk that comes with humor．For in﹣person humor，quality isn't as important as you might think．Your attitude and effort count a lot．

Some people﹣and I was one of them﹣believe that humorous complaints about the little problems of life make humor，and sometimes that is the case．The problem comes when you start doing too much complaint﹣based humor．One funny observation about problem in your life can be funny，but five is just complaining，no matter how smart you think you are．Funny complaints can wear people out．

Self﹣deprecating（自嘲式） humor is usually the safest type，but here again you don't want to overshoot the target．One self﹣deprecating comment is a generous and even confident form of humor．You have to be at least a bit self﹣assured to laugh at yourself in front of others．But if you do it too often，you can transform in the eyes of others from a confident joker to a Chihuahua dog．

Humo
Benefits of humor	●Humor is form of （1） 　　．Humor can improve one's （2） 　　and personality． ●Humor can make one （3） 　　in his work，study，and life． ●Humor has a positive（4） 　　effect when we are in difficulties．

Scientists have discovered that(stay) in the cold could help us lose weight． Researchers at the University of California found that exposure to the cold increases levels of a protein that helps form brown fat--the type of fat that produces heat and keeps us warm． Brown fat burns energy,helps us lose weight． White fat stores extra energy, which results weight gain． The researchers said that because air conditioning and heating give us constant,  (comfort) temperatures, our body’s need for brown fat has decreased． They found that: “Outdoor workers in northern Finland who(expose) to cold temperature havesignificant amount of brown fat when(compare) to same-aged indoor workers.” The research was conducted on two different control groups of mice．group was injected with the protein that helps create brown fat． This group later gained 30% less weight after both groups were fed high-fat diets． The researchers say this could be good news in the fight against obesity． People who are obese have(low) levels of brown fat than thinner people． Head researcher Hei Sook Sul said, “This protein could become an important target for research into the treatment and prevention of obesity and obesity-related diseases.” She added, “If you can somehow increase levels of this protein, you could (possible) lose more weight even if eating the same amount of food.”

    The idea is catching on（14）　　．There are now over 40 chat benches throughout England．More new chat benches have sprung up across the UK and beyond．All who participated have gained a（n）（15）　　 outcome from getting involved．Jones' idea has been fully（16）　　﹣the "HAPPY TO CHAT" benches help（17）　　the invisible social barrier that keeps people from saying hello．

Once upon a time a farmer had a dog and a rabbit．One day he organized a competition between his dog and his rabbit．He dug a hole in one of his biggest fields，and hid a carrot and a bone in it．He wanted to see animal would find them first．
The (cheer) and optimistic rabbit threw himself into looking for the carrot，(dig) here and there，totally convinced that he would find it．But the dog，after sniffing around for a bit，(lie) down and began to complain about how difficult it was to find one bone in such a big field．
The rabbit dug for hours，and with every new hole the dog complained even more about how difficult this (be)，even for the rabbit．the rabbit thought that each hole dug was one hole less that needed digging．When there was no place in the whole field (leave) to dig，the rabbit dug a tunnel right to the dog had been lying all the time．There he found the carrot and the bone．
This is how the dog lost the game．He had come to right place at the very beginning but failed to find the bone he only complained and didn't try at all．

When （ask） to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves， many put friends ahead of homes， jobs， clothes and cars．
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines_ we are and keeps us connected． It is a treasure we should protect． Unfortunately， the _（good） friends you are， the more probable you’ll have disagreements． And the result can be what you don’t want  end to the relationship．
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended． First， don’t let your pride get in your way． Most of us can forgive each other when differences_（bring） out in the open． Second， apologize when you’re wrong - even if you have been wronged ．Over the course of a friendship， even the best people make mistakes． Sometimes， it may be best，the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes． When you apologize， give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong． Third， see things your friend’s point of view． And finally， accept that friendships change as needs and lifestyle change． Making friends can sometimes seem easy． The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the_（nature） ups and downs that have an effect__all relationships． My suggestion：Consider friendship an honor and a gift， and worth the effort to treasure and nurture （培养）．

My faith in human nature has never been so great as it was last weekend after our family get﹣together in the town of Vail.

On Saturday， we all went to the market right in the middle of the town. Near the end， we all （1） 　　at the fountain near the bridge， and the kids waded （蹚水） around in the fountain until we（2） 　 　.

Ponder has never （6） 　 　anything. So we just take for granted that he needs no supervision （指导） for managing his （7） 　　.

He was upset， not about the Gameboy， but about the watch. "But Dad，" he said， through massive （8） 　　， "they don't make that kind of watch anymore." We were all very （9） 　　.

Our dinner reservation was at a restaurant just on the other side of the bridge， so I （10） 　　him that we would not only search the area around the fountain when we went back for dinner， but we would also find the police and ask them if the backpack had been （11） 　　.

As we exited from the parking garage， we could see the fountain as we walked down the long staircase. I saw something black （12） 　 　there， but it was right next to a woman standing by the fountain， so I could not （13） 　　what it was or if it was hers.

"See it， Dad？" Ponder shouted. "Don't get too （14） 　　because that may not be it，" I said. But that was it. It had been five or six hours since we left the fountain， and it was （15） 　　there. There was no ID in it， and it looked like someone had looked through it and then set it right out where all I literally （17） 　　when we reached it and it was his! Everyone in our party was blown away by this "miracle （奇迹）" . In my wildest （18） 　　， I would never have imagined that this could happen nowadays.

What a charmed life， eh？ I believe this was a perfect （19） 　 　for a child in losing something important …to lose it and feel the full （20） 　　of that loss， and then to miraculously get it back.
