READING. Read this text and do Task A and Task B 8 x 0.25=2 marks

Many people think that we laugh because we see or hear something funny, but most of the time this isn´t true. In one
study, a professor of psychology and his students listened in and made notes on hundreds of conversations in public
places. They heard about 1,200 laughs, but only 10-20 percent came after a joke or something funny. The other 80-90
percent followed normal, everyday expressions like, ‘I’ll see you later’ or ‘It was nice to meet you’. Nobody really
knows why we laugh, but one idea is that the most important reason is to make other people feel good. When you laugh,
the people around you often start laughing too. Soon, the whole group is cheerful and relaxed. Laughter can stop
negative feelings and help people to feel closer to each other. Thousands of years ago, before people could speak,
laughter helped them to form groups and work together. It also seems laughter can be good for our health. Laughing a
hundred times uses the same energy as riding on an exercise bike for fifteen minutes. It can even make people sleep
better. The writer Norman Cousins, who suffers from insomnia, wrote that watching comedies helped him a great deal
to get to sleep. He said that ten minutes of laughter gave him four hours of sleep.
