26、e the intelligence of the gorillas.BHave you ever laughed so hard that you couldnt breathe? Smiling is okay, but Im talking here about falling-off-your-chair laughter.Once, in college, I got together with a group of friends for some kind of serious prayer matter. But instead of praying, we all laugh

27、ed so hard over some silly little things that it actually went on for about ten minutes. We couldnt stop. Maybe it was the pressure of exams, or the relief of Spring break coming, I cant remember. But I do recall falling down hard on the floor from a complete and total loss of muscular control. That

28、 was 1982.I hope I havent forgotten how to laugh that hard.Scientists have discovered that laughter releases some kind of endorphin (内啡肽) in the brain, just like a drug.

32、ings, or begin to take ourselves far too seriously.
