【解析】

你有没有听说过“笑是最好的良药”这句话？笑对我们的健康是非常有好处的，因此现在大笑瑜伽变得越来越受欢迎，还有很多的大笑俱乐部。

【1】根据短文第二段 “Dr. Madan Kataria started the first laughter club in 1995 in India.”可知，Madan在1995年在印度开办了第一个大笑俱乐部，不是在中国，因此这个题目的答案是否定的。故答案为No.

【2】根据短文第三段 ““World Laughter Day” is on the first Sunday of May every year.”可知，世界大笑日在每年五月份的第一个星期日。故答案为It is on the first Sunday of May（every year）.

【3】根据短文第四段 “So in order to（为了）improve（改善）their health, more and more people join the laughter clubs.”可知，为了改善健康状况，越来越多的人加入了大笑俱乐部。故答案为Because people want to improve their health. And it's a good way to make them happier and healthier.

【4】这是一个开放式的问题，题意为“如果在你的城市里有大笑俱乐部，你想参加吗？为什么？”学生们的答案合理即可。如If there is a laughter club in my city, I want to join it because it is good for my health.

这是一篇说明文，短文介绍了大笑对健康的好处，所以现在全世界有越来越多的大笑俱乐部。短文主题明确，内容贴近学生们的日常生活，比较容易理解。题型是任务型阅读，要求根据文意回答问题。做题时，应先通读短文，了解文章大意；然后根据题目所问，锁定文章相关语句或段落作答。如第1小题，可以用题干中的人名作为关键词，这样可以迅速定位至短文第二段的相关语句，即可找到答案。再如第3小题，根据题目中more and more people join the laughter clubs可定位至最后一段。另外第一段的最后一句话 “Laughter is a simple way to make you happier and healthier.”作为答案也是合理的。
