Who Were the Spiders?

The Cooper family was about to move because Dad had a new job in Colorado. He had been out of work for a year, and Natalie and Mason knew he had been unhappy, but now a new job was making things look better. As Dad said, “Every cloud has a silver lining.”

Dad was already in Colorado, but Mom stayed behind so that the twins Natalie and Mason could finish fifth grade at Oak School. Today, Natalie and Mason were helping to pack boxes, and they enjoyed looking at the old treasures, especially the photo albums.

Natalie picked up a photo of a baseball team. The men’s uniforms had CLEVELAND printed on them. Someone had written 1895 on the photo.

Mason asked Mom, “Is there a famous baseball player in our family?”

“I don’t know of anyone in my family, but maybe there was someone in your dad’s family,” she said, “so remember to ask about the photo when you talk to your dad tonight.”

That night, Dad called, and Mason was eager to talk to him. “Dad, we found a photo today of a baseball team that played in 1895. Did one of your relatives play on a team a long time ago?”

Dad said, “It’s familiar, but I don’t know the story. Some of the photos are my father’s, so why don’t you call him and see if he knows?”

Grandpa Ken recalled that a relative played for a Cleveland team, a cousin of his great-grandfather whose last name was Zimmer. So, Grandpa suggested they look up early Cleveland teams.

Mason and Natalie headed for the computer and found a baseball encyclopedia. They discovered three early Cleveland teams: Cleveland Blue, 1879–1884; Cleveland Infants, 1890–1890; and Cleveland Spiders, 1887–1899.

Mason shouted, “We found the answer! Our 1895 photo must show the Cleveland Spiders.”

They looked for Cleveland Spiders and found an article. A new Cleveland ballpark had opened on May 2, 1891. Cy Young was the starting pitcher, and Zimmer was listed as one of the players. “That’s the cousin of our great-great-grandfather!” said Natalie.

Mason wanted to know more, so they searched a baseball almanac. In 1895, the team came in second. But in 1899, the Spiders were baseball’s worst team. Zimmer was a player on both teams. “Oh, well, you can’t win them all,” Natalie said.

“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise,” Mom suddenly called from downstairs. It was time for bed! They would have to find out more about the Cleveland Spiders tomorrow.

Answer:

Snowflakes fall from the sky so white,

Blanketing the earth with pure delight.

The world transforms into a winter wonderland,

A sight so beautiful, it's hard to understand.

Each flake unique, like a fingerprint,

Glistening in the sun, a sight distinct.

The sound of crunching underfoot,

As we walk through the snow, a feeling so good.

The air is crisp, with a scent so fresh,

A reminder that nature is at its best.

The chill on our skin, a tingle so cold,

A sensation that never gets old.

A taste of snow, so pure and clean,

Melting on our tongues, a flavor serene.

Personified as a blanket of peace,

Snow brings a calmness that never will cease.

In this winter wonderland, we find,

A beauty that's truly one of a kind.

A metaphor for new beginnings,

As snow melts away, a hope that's winning.

HELPPPPP mark Brainliest if it right. “According to this paragraph, what did studies discover about laughter’s role in healing patients”

Answers

Answer: C: Laughter may help people fight disease and feel better. Try it, I got it right!

Explanation:

Laughter affects the body in ways similar to aerobic exercise.

When you laugh, your heart rate and the flow of blood throughout your body increase, helping to transport oxygen to your organs, and move waste, such as carbon dioxide away from them.

Its effects were tested in a 2010 University of Texas at Austin study in which participants watched a 30-minute comedy video.

Their blood flow increased by 17 percent, with the effect lasting up to 24 hours.

Other studies indicate that laughter can lower levels of stress hormones while providing multiple physical benefits.

"When you allow yourself a good, old-fashioned belly laugh, you are using your stomach muscles, shoulders, opening up your lungs and actually improving your posture", says psychologist Judy Kuriansky.

At the same time, it may increase the activity of disease-fighting cells in the immune system.

These effects are getting doctors' attention because they reveal that laughter may hold healing properties.

In fact, this discovery is having a phenomenal influence on health care.

The correct answer according to the above paragraph is

C: Laughter may help people fight diseases and feel better.

Science has shown that the brain (that is, the mind) tells the body what to do. It does this by instructing the body to release various chemicals which in turn determine how the body reacts. Depending on the chemicals that are released, the body may feel strong, weak, more energetic, less moody. less stressed, etc.

Some of those chemicals may also:

increase the immune system of the body. When the immune system is more efficient, the body is able to attack diseases more efficiently and speed up the healing process. improve a person's emotional state thus helping them to manage the stress and pain they are going throughassist the heart in functioning more effectively.

The science of laughter

There are several areas of the brain that that react electronically to jokes or information that is humous. They are:

the left side of the cortex;frontal lobemotor sections of the brainthe right hemisphere of the cortex.

Without the limbic system of the brain, a person would not be able to laugh.

Psychologists have indicated that a person will only produce laughter if the person's mind is able to go through two processes:

identify an element or elements of surprise or the unexpected in the humorous information;rationalize or identify something else that seems logical after the unexpected activity has occurred.

In summary, the more laughter a person has, the healthier they will be. It, therefore, would be very helpful to expose a sick person to lots of humorous material.
