Sunday May 4th will be World Laughter Day. Dr Madan Kataria, who introduced this annual event,
says we need more laughter in our lives to combat the global rise of stress and loneliness. But surely that
strange sound that we make periodically can’t be the answer to such problems.
If an alien were to land on our planet and (1) _________ a stroll among a crowd of earthlings, it
would hear a lot of “ha-ha” noises. It might wonder what (2) _________ this strange habit served. If we ask
ourselves what (3) _________ a good laugh, the obvious answer is that it is a response to something funny.
But one scientist, Robert Provine, says humour has surprisingly little to do with that. Instead, it lies at the
(4) _________ of such issues as the perception of self and the evolution of language and social behaviour.
Provine realised that you cannot capture (5) _________ laughter in the lab because as soon as you
(6) _________ it under scrutiny, it vanishes. So, instead, he gathered data by hanging around groups of
people, noting when they laughed.
He collected 1,200 laugh episodes – an episode being defined as the comment immediately preceding
the laughter and the laughter itself. His analysis of this data revealed some important facts about laughter.
“It’s a message we send to other people – it (7) _________ disappears when we’re by ourselves,” he says.
“And it’s not a choice. Ask someone to laugh and they’ll either try to (8) _________ a laugh or say they can’t
do it on command.”

Part 3. (1.5 points): Read the following passage and circle the best answer A, B, C or D to the questions
according to the text.
Herbs are different kinds of plants and plant parts that can be used for medicinal purposes. This can
include the leaves, stems, roots, or seeds of the plant. Herbs have been important in traditional medicine for
centuries, in both the East and the West. In Western medicine, they have largely been replaced by drugs.
Herbal treatments are, however, still an integral part of Eastern medicine. In recent years, interest in
traditional medicine has increased in the West. Many people are either using modern methods combined with
traditional treatments or are turning to these treatments entirely. While traditional medicines can be helpful,
they are not without their share of problems.
The main difference between herbs and drugs is that, while herbs are simply parts of plants, drugs
are specific chemicals in a pure form. Many modern drugs are derived from chemicals found in plants. One
example is aspirin, which is made from a chemical extracted from the bark of the willow tree. Other drugs
are entirely synthetic. Even those drugs that are derived from natural sources are heavily processed in order
to purify and concentrate them. This allows drugs to be administered in very precise amounts. Different kinds
and degrees of illnesses often require dosages that differ only slightly. A little too much or not enough of a
certain drug can have negative effects on the patient. Many drugs also produce negative effects even when
taken in the recommended dosage. These undesired negative effects are called “side-effects.”
The possibility of dangerous and unexpected side-effects from drugs has led many people back to
traditional medicine. Herbal treatments seem more natural than modern drugs. Many feel that traditional
medicine is more concerned with treating the underlying causes of disease instead of just the symptoms,
