Part 1.
Researchers predicted in a new report published in the journal Opthalmology that by 2050, half of the
world's population will be short-sighted. The medical term for this condition is myopia. It is also known
as near-sightedness. It is when we have difficulty focusing on objects that are far away from us. The
researchers say that around 4.8 billion people will suffer from myopia. This is a seven-fold increase in
cases from 2000 to 2050. Sixty years ago, around 15 per cent of the Chinese population was short-sighted.
Now, almost 90 per cent of Chinese teenagers and young adults have trouble seeing faraway objects. A
recent survey found that up 95 per cent of teenagers in South Korea are near-sighted.
The researchers said they could not pinpoint definite reasons for this phenomenon and say it could be a
combination of factors. They did say that looking at computer screens and mobile phones could be a
leading cause. Researchers said the sudden rise in myopia may be linked to "lifestyle changes resulting
from a combination of decreased time outdoors and increased near-work activities". Science journalist
Sarah Zhang said, "spending time outdoors, especially in early childhood, reduces the onset of myopia".
Professor Kovin Naidoo, a co-author of the report, offered some advice. He said: "You could spend a
long time reading computers and screens, but also spend two hours outdoors."

Part 2:
Good afternoon, everybody….. and in our second talk on social psychology I want to look at the role of
laughter in our lives - something that usually gets everyone smiling from the start.
So, first of all, I will start by looking at the actual nature of laughter. Well, when someone laughs you
have got movement of the muscles of the face and the chest, and you have got sound formed when the air
is forced out of the body as part of this process, so we are talking about a physical activity. But obviously
other things are involved as well- and this is where it gets more complicated. Laughing isn’t something
that you normally decide to do, so it is not voluntary behavior, like ordinary speech. Instead it is regulated
by our instincts- rather like the singing of a bird, of the roaring of a lion. And once you start to laugh, it
can be quite hard to stop- that is not always under your conscious control either.
But why do we laugh? Because we find something funny, most of us would say. But in fact it appears that
laughter has little to do with jokes or funny stories- only about 10 percent of laughter is caused by things
like that. One suggestion is that human laughter may have originally started out as a shared response to
signal relief at the passing of danger. And it is true that even these says laughter is rarely an activity carried
out by an individual on his or her own. In fact, people are 30 times more likely to laugh when they are
with other people that when they are completely alone. Laughter still seems to be a kind of social signal,
it occurs when people are in a group and they are comfortable with one another. And it seems likely that
laughter can result in the creation of bonds between the people in the group.

And it is precisely because of this social aspect of laughter that people like public speakers and politicians
often try to get their audience to laugh- it encourages their listeners to trust them and to connect with them.
But this kind of thing- controlling the laughter of a group, that is- indicates that there is a link between
laughter and power, and this is supported by several studies that indicate that bosses use humor more than
their employees. And research has also shown that female listeners are likely to laugh much more if the
speaker is male, so it appears that there are gender issues associated with how much we laugh.
I should also point out that laughter can be used as a negative signal as well as positive one. I think we
have all probably seen evidence of a group using laughter to exclude someone….. to emphasize that they
are not accepted. So it is not always a positive type of behavior, either. So what all this goes to show is
that laughter is a very, very complex issue.
It does appear however that laughter has definite benefits. If we look first at the psychological aspects, we
know that people often tend to store negative emotions such as anger, sadness and fear, rather than
expressing them, and it seems that laughter provides a harmless way for the release of these emotions. But
there are also clear physical effects that have been monitored too. For example, laughter is good aerobic
exercise- it speeds up heart rate and respiration, and raises blood pressure; one researcher suggests that
100 laughs a day is the equivalent of 10 minutes’ jogging.
Laughter also helps prevent the stress that so many people suffer from today, which results from the faster
pace of life and all that goes with it. It does this by reducing the levels of hormones in the blood which
are caused by stress. And, in addition, it is known to increase the levels of chemicals that protect the body
from infection or pain and so it helps to boost the immune system.
One interesting study showed that people who had had surgical operations asked for fewer painkillers if
they’d been viewing comic films. In fact, research has even shown that the quality of dreams can be
positively affected by laughter- a good laugh 10 minutes before going to sleep can prevent you from
having bad dreams and give a much more pleasant and restorative night’s sleep. So, there is now little
argument that finding things funny and enjoying a good laugh is extremely beneficial to us all.
What we need to consider now are the ways in which laughter can be used as a treatment for people
