A recent study conducted at a university in the United States showed that laughing helps blood vessels work more efficiently in the same way that exercise does. Doctors don’t suggest that people stop exercising, but instead encourage everyone to try laughing for fifteen minutes a day. The scientists still don’t know why laughing is so healthy, however. Is it because beneficial chemicals are released from your brain when you laugh? Or is it because laughing exercises your abdominal muscles and lungs and increases the amount of oxygen in your blood? Another benefit of laughing is that it boosts the immune system by increasing the body’s ability to fight off colds and the flu, so people who laugh more often get sick less often. Laughing can also lower blood pressure and can reduce stress hormones. Laughter causes the release of the body’s natural painkillers, so people with headaches and other pain feel better after laughing. In another study, nurses told jokes to some patients after medical treatment. The patients who were told jokes reported less pain than those who were not told jokes. Most hospitals have laughter departments these days. For sick children, some hospitals have clown doctors. These are not real doctors, but are actors dressed as clowns with white faces, bright red noses, col orful costumes, and very big shoes. They have funny names and sometimes sing songs or do magic tricks. It’s frightening for children to be sick in hospital because they are away from their home and family, and often they don’t understand their illness. Clown doctors help them to laugh and feel happier while they receive their treatment. Adult patients love them, too!

思路引導 VIP
請回頭閱讀文章的第一段，留意醫生提到「大笑」與「運動」這兩件事時，是用什麼樣的態度來連結它們的？他們是建議讀者在兩者之間做選擇（A 或 B），還是希望兩者都能兼顧呢？

恭喜你準確掌握了文章細節！這題你選對了，關鍵在於能精準分辨作者想表達的是「兩者並行」還是「二選一」。
邏輯關係的辨析
在第一段中，原文提到醫生「並不建議人們停止運動」（don’t suggest that people stop exercising），而是鼓勵在運動之餘加上每天 15 分鐘的大笑。選項 (B) 卻使用了 instead of (取代) 這個片語，這會讓語意變成「用大笑來代替運動」，明顯違背了作者的原意。其餘選項如科學家的不確定性、緩解疼痛以及對頭痛的幫助，在文中都有直接或間接的描述支持，因此都是正確的敘述。
