The world has never faced so much trouble before. People are within themselves about natural resources, territories and especially religions. In my opinion, laughter is a universal language, which has the ability to humanity without religions. Laughter can build a common connection between various religions and create a new world . The idea may sound over-ambitious, and maybe it is. But maybe it is not. It is our deep that laughter and only the laughter can unite the world, holding up a sense of brotherhood and friendship.
Studies also show that laughter helps your body to do the following: lower blood pressure; lighten depression; reduce stress; work out the heart, for those who are unable to perform exercise. So in life, when you can laugh, you should laugh loudly and with your entire body—because it’s good for you.
A．in peace B．in difficulty C．at war D．among challenge

A．belief B．advice C．intention D．plan
A．safe B．humorous C．common D．global

Motivation means the desire to work toward a goal. It can come from inside or outside and can be and negative. When you say," If I make a hit, we'll win the game and I'll be a” you challenge yourself to do something and imagine what the will be. You might also say “If I fail in school, I will be .” Imagining the pain that brings is a negative way of motivating yourself.
Sometimes motivation comes from. Your parents might say," If you do well in school, the whole will go to Disney World." now you have a reason to study hard. Your parents might also say, “if you do not your room, you will be forbidden to watch your favorite TV program." This is the negative.
The best kind of motivation comes from inside you. In fact, motivating yourself to do well waiting for someone else to tell you is a sign that you are . People who have no must be told what to do all the time.
Self-motivation is one thing we learn from the martial arts（武术）. When we begin, our master us everything. As we progress, the master tells us to every day at home- and leaves us on our own! The master does not ask in class whether we have practiced and does not us if we fail to do so. By saying nothing, the master us to be grown-up enough to motivate and discipline ourselves.
If we are about the arts, we will practice at home and do well in class. Our master will this and encourage us to continue. Soon we will be for testing to advance towards the next stage. We will move up because we’ve motivated ourselves.
