Welcome to Marksdale State Park
Where fun, fitness, and education come together
Don’t miss our new summer classes available during May 23 — Aug 5!
■ Swimming lessons: Ages 4 — adult. Cost: $5 per class or $15 for one month.
■ Hiking: Have a state park keeper hike through our paths with you and teach you
about the park’s wildlife and plants. Marksdale is a perfect spot for hiking.
■ Soccer: Our youth soccer program is unusual in that it is non-competitive. Different
teams are formed every day. The focus is on each player learning to work as a team,
not on one team winning it all.
■ Boating: These classes are only for 20-year-olds and above. Fishing is only allowed
with a permit. ■ Bicycling: We have special paths built for bicyclists. Signs are posted for
self-guided tours of our park. Group cycling is also available with a park guide. Paths
range from easy to challenging.

modern systems, so you don’t have to suffer to enjoy nature — unless you want to!

In the early 1990s, Madan Kataria, an Indian doctor who worked in Mumbai,
became interested in the growing body of scientific evidence showing that laughter is
extremely beneficial to human health. He made a decision that more laughter was
needed to improve health and deal with the stress of modern living.
In 1995, while writing an article for a health journal, Dr. Kataria discovered
many modern scientific studies describing the benefits of laughter on the human mind
and body. In particular, he was impressed by Norman Cousins’ book Anatomy of an
Illness and the research work by Dr. Lee Berk. Then he began to field-test the effect
of laughter on himself and others.
Starting with just five people, on March 13, 1995, at a public park in his
neighborhood, Dr. Kataria started the first laughter club. They laughed together in the
park to the amusement of bystanders, and the small group quickly grew to more than
50 people within a few days. In the early meetings, they stood in a circle with one
person in the center to tell a joke or a funny story. Everybody enjoyed themselves and
felt good for the rest of the day. However, after two weeks, their jokes and stories ran
out. Some complained that it would be better to discontinue the club than to continue
without any jokes. Dr. Kataria asked the club members to give him one day to
develop a breakthrough that would solve the problem.
That night, Dr. Kataria reviewed his research and finally found the answer. Our
body cannot differentiate between pretend and genuine laughter. In fact, both produced the same effect. The next morning, the results were amazing. For some, the
make-believe laughter quickly turned into real laughter. Soon the group was laughing
like never before. The hearty laughter that followed lasted for almost ten minutes.
This was the birth of Laughter Yoga.
25. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Madan Kataria _____.
A. used to be serious
B. was a man of action
