With all the wars，fighting and sadness in the world today，it’s not only necessary，but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives.Putting a smile on someone’s face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps，makes me feel good and warms my heart.

How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife，husband，child，co-worker，neighbor，close friend，or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store？I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh，even if I don’t know the person I’m joking around with.My grandma always found humor in everything she did，even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine.This not only relieves stress in any situation，but also is common courtesy to speak to others that are around you.

I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies，as they say.

Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their faces.They don’t get the joke that makes others laugh.I am busting a gut while they just sit there，looking at me as if I were from outer space.How can people not get a really funny joke?

Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control.Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems，or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy.There is too much sadness in this present world.It drives people crazy.We all need to find a way to ignore the sadness and bring a little light into our lives.So，I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.

Ⅰ.高频词汇 1.essential adj.基本的，本质的 2.courtesy n.礼貌，恩惠 3.slight adj.轻微的，少量的 4.medication n.药物；药物治疗；药物处理 Ⅱ.长难句分析 Putting a smile on someone’s face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps，makes me feel good and warms my heart. 分析：这是一个由and连接的并列复合句。and前是“主语＋谓语＋宾语＋宾补”结构，主语是Putting a smile on someone’s face，谓语是makes，宾语是me，宾补是feel good；and后是主谓宾结构，主语依然是Putting a smile on someone’s face，由于一样，就省略了，谓语是warms，宾语是my heart；when you know they are feeling down in the dumps是时间状语从句。 翻译：当你知道有人情绪低落时，让他们的脸上露出笑容，会让我感觉很好并且温暖着我的心。
