We all like to have a good laugh. Yet what exactly is it that we find funny?

Different people laugh at different things. Not everyone giggles in the same situation, laughs at the same joke or finds the same book or movie humorous.

In other words, we all know what humor is. However, we don’t all find humor in the same things.

WORDS
to giggle: to laugh repeatedly in an uncontrolled way.

Though China is a sports nation, ice hockey still belongs to those sports which are relatively new and unknown in the country.

Kunlun Red Star became the first team to join the KHL in the 2016-2017 season.

The Kontinetal Hockey League (KHL), is the second largest hockey league behind the NHL and is played in Europe and Asia.

The team had the minimum number of four Chinese players on its roster as it is required by the KHL rules.

However, during the Covid-19 era the team lost its connection to Chinese hockey  and now plays home games in Russia.

WORDS
roster: a list of players who can play for the team.

It is not easy to define exactly how many calories can be burnt by doing a specific exercise.

There would also have to be other factors, as your weight and  speed of the exercise, included in the calculation.

Anyway, roughly we can estimate that jumping rope can burn 660-1000 calories per hour.

Running can help with burning 550-800 calories.

The burn of rowing, which works your entire body, is 480-700 calories per hour.

Here are some “non-sport” activities and their calorie burn in 30 minutes:

• Cleaning the house = 100 calories
• Gardening or weeding = 150 calories
• Mowing the lawn = 210 calories
• Strolling = 105 calories
• Raking leaves = 145 calories
• Vacuuming = 120 calories

WORDS
roughly: approximately. 
rowing: the travelling in  a boat using oars.

Pinocchio is a fictional character, the puppet carved out of a piece of wood by the old wood-carver Geppetto.

He acts as a human child and often gets in trouble.

His nose gets longer when he lies. And it resumes its normal size when he tells the truth.

The Good Fairy finally fulfills his dream of becoming a real boy and he takes care of his old father Geppetto.

WORDS
puppet: marionette.
