　　Why we need humour in our life

　　We badly need humour in our life. There are various reasons.

　　Firstly, life is faster than we can imagine. We are always busy with endless work. Therefore, it is important for us to set ourselves free from hard work for a while. Humour can help relieve us of such pressure.

　　Secondly, humour can make people laugh and feel happy. It makes you attractive and people will never feel dull together with you.

　　Thirdly, humour can always keep you in high spirits, which will do good to both your mental and physical health. Humour changes the colour of the whole world before you.

　　Fourthly, humour makes people laugh at a time when they feel depressed so they can feel more content with their lives.

　　What's more, humour can be a most effective means of dealing with difficult situations. Humour is the best medicine in life.

　　In a word, humour is very important to all of us. Let's fully enjoy humour in our lives.

　　1 As Victor Hugo once said，“Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face”，and up to now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin.正如维克多·雨果曾经所说：“笑容如阳光，能驱赶人脸上的寒意”，到目前为止，没有人能比查理·卓别林更好地做到这一点。

　　as sb once said

　　【句式点拨】

　　as在此引导定语从句，修饰后面整个句子，此时，定语从句的位置比较灵活，可放在句首、句中或句末，译为“正如，正像”。

　　【相关拓展】

　　(1)as引导的从句可置于句前，而which则不能。

　　(2)as引导的从句，有“正如……”之意，而which则没有。

　　so…that… 如此……以至于…

　　so＋many/much/few/little＋名词＋that从句

　　so＋形容词＋a/an＋单数可数名词＋that从句

　　so＋形容词/副词＋助动词/系动词＋主语＋that从句

　　【句式点拨】

　　so/such…that…这两种结构都可以引导结果状语从句。so是副词，后接形容词或者副词；such是形容词，后接名词。此外，还需注意以下几点：

　　(1)当两者中都出现单数可数名词，且该名词前有形容词修饰时，二者可以互换：so＋adj.＋a/an＋n.＝such＋a/an＋adj.＋n.。

　　(2)当名词前有many, much, little, few修饰时， 用so不用such。因为此时的中心词不再是名词，而是many, much, little, few这些表示数量的词。

　　(3)so…that…中的so放在句首时，通常采用部分倒装。
