World Laughter Day was started in Mumbai, India in 1998 by Dr Madan Kataria, organizer of the worldwide Laughter Yoga activity．

The celebration of World Laughter Day is for world peace and is a plan to make good friends through laughter．Now more and more people are joining the Laughter Yoga movement．On the 9th of January, 2000, more than 10,000 people gathered in Denmark to celebrate the first World Laughter Day．It was very successful．

World Laughter Day is now celebrated on the first Sunday of May every year．Hundreds of people all over the world laugh together on that day．No one thinks that laughing doesn't make us feel good．

Today, some people in the world still face war（戰(zhàn)爭）．Laughter is a good way to deal with world problems．When different groups laugh together, they can get along better．Many difficult problems can become easier to solve if people feel good．

Laughter is a world language, which is the same in every country．We should believe that only laughter can bring the world together and help people become good friends．

April 22 is Earth Day．Everyone on earth should care about and protect the earth!

The earth has warmed by about l°F（華氏度）over the past 100 years，but why and how? Well，scientists are not quite sure．Maybe the earth gets warmer and warmer on its own．But many scientists say that people are doing many things which makes the earth warmer．

First, greenhouse effect（溫室效應(yīng)）is a very important reason for the change of the earth．People give out too much energy into the air every year．It makes the earth warmer．Climate（氣候）change is another important reason．Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold．Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little．The change of the climate makes the earth warmer．In turn，the warmth of the earth changes the climate，too．

When the earth becomes warmer．there may be more rain and a rise in sea level．It will affect the growth of plants，animals and people．On a Pacific island，100 people have to move to higher ground because the sea is rising．These people can no longer live on the coast．Before that，two islands without people went underwater in 1999．Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one metre by 2100．
