Read the following article and answer the question. Article: There is an old saying in English, "Laughter is the best medicine". Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously.

It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be helpful.

As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is... Question: Which of the following statements is NOT true of laughter according to the passage?

The men of Symi dug out the earth to make the ponds. Over each pond is a low cover. It is made of glass that you can see through. At night, sea water is taken into the ponds.
