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!

小丑醫生的真實作用與細節比對
根據文章最後一段的描述，醫院中的小丑醫生並非真正的醫生（not real doctors），而是穿著奇裝異服、畫著白臉的演員。文中明確提到，孩童在醫院會感到恐懼（frightening），而小丑醫生的職責就是透過唱歌或魔術表演，幫助孩子們在治療過程中感到更快樂、減輕害怕的情緒，這與選項 (B) 的內容完全吻合。
