Passage 1

In 1881, a new type of weed began spreading across the northern Great Plains. Unlike other weeds, the tumbleweed did not spend its life rooted to the soil; instead, it tumbled and rolled across fields in the wind. The weed had sharp, spiny leaves that could lacerate the flesh of ranchers and horses alike. It exploited the vast area of the plains, thriving in regions too barren to support other plants. With its ability to generate and disseminate numerous seeds quickly, it soon became the scourge of the prairies.

To present-day Americans, the tumbleweed symbolizes the Old West. They read the Zane Grey novels in which tumbleweeds drift across stark western landscapes and see classic western movies in which tumbleweeds share scenes with cowboys and covered wagons. Yet just over a century ago, the tumbleweed was a newcomer. The first sign of the invasion occurred in North and South Dakota in the late 1870s.

Farmers had noticed the sudden appearance of the new, unusual weed. One group of immigrants, however, did not find the weed at all unfamiliar. The tumbleweed, it turns out, was a native of southern Russia, where it was known as Tartar thistle. It was imported to the United States by unknown means.

Frontier settlers gave the plants various names: saltwort, Russian cactus, and wind witch. But botanists at the Department of Agriculture preferred the designation Russian thistle as the plant’s common name. However, these botanists had a much harder time agreeing on the plant’s scientific name. In general, botanists compare a plant to published accounts of similar plants, or to samples kept as specimens. Unfortunately, no book described the weed and no samples existed in herbaria in the United States.

 What makes you laugh

Robert Provine studied people and laughter. He discovered that people laugh when they want to be friendly. He watched people in city walking and shopping. He found that 80 to 90 % of laughter came after sentences like “Yeah, I know” or “I’ll see you later”. People did not laugh because someone said something funny. People laughed because they wanted to be friendly with each other.

Many people say “Oh, I just don’t laugh very much. I can’t change that actually”. That’s not true. People can learn to laugh. First you need to see how small events can be funny. For example, you are carrying too many bags, and you drop one bag. Laugh at the situation. Second, you can learn to be funny and tell jokes. Watch funny TV shows and read jokes on the Internet. Give yourself more reasons to laugh. You can learn to bring laughter into your life.

Laughter happens at certain time in a conversation. People laugh more when they speak than when they listen. Pay attention to conversations around you. You will discover that the speaker in a conversation laughs more often. Also, laughter almost always comes at the end of a sentence or a thought. For example, a person might say “He went to the wrong store! Ha! Ha! Ha!”. “The person does not say, “He went – Ha! Ha! Ha! – to the wrong store!”
