As a matter of fact，a recent study found that people laugh 6 more times in the presence of one person but 30 more times in a group of people.You can get a chuckle(咯咯笑) from jokes you get on the Internet，but it is not the same as belly jiggling laughter (a deep laugh) you get when you interact with others.

　　Socializing with friends and relatives was much looked forward to.However，this is no longer the case.In fact，the majority of people can hardly find time，nor do they have the inclination towards socializing outside home.They turn to electronic media such as television，computers，the Internet，videos，CDs，and audio equipment，which can provide them with instant self­entertainment at the push of a button.

　　The workplace does not fare(进展) much better.Due to the pressures to produce more in the same or fewer hours available and to compete，for example，in a manufacturing field with cheaper labor elsewhere in the world，humor and laughter in the workplace have gradually eroded(逐渐毁坏) away.

　　I have developed a real appreciation，perhaps closer to a strong desire for the power of humor and laughter.This encouraged me to write my first book titled “The Power of Humor” and subsequently my second book titled “Kids Say the Goggonest Things” based on the natural humor，laughter，play and fun that kids experience and they freely share with parents，grandparents and teachers.
