But when it happens in front of the television cameras, it can become an internet nsation. Do you think there's anything funny about spicy meat? Swiss finance minister Hans-Rudolf Merz emed to think it was hilarious. Mr. Merz was making a speech in the Swiss parliament on meat imports when he started laughing and couldn't stop. The meat in question is known as "b?ndnerfleisch"- a type ofair-dried beef product. Herr Merz later admitted that he was amud by the bureaucratic (官僚主义的) language in which the bill was written. Since then, Mr. Merz has become an internet hit. A video of the incident shows a grey-suited minister giggling away, accompanied by applau from his parliamentary colleagues. So far, the video has been en by more than 500,000 people on YouYube and other websites. "I don't understand what he's talking about," said one viewer, "but it's just so funny." The recent publicity will be good news for the minister,too. Mr. Merz had been criticized recently for signing away much of Switzerland's banking crecy, andfor failing to do enough to help two Swiss citizens who were detained by Libya. But now, with retirement a few months away, Mr. Merz may leave on a high note. Some even suggest he may have a future career as a comedian. Of cour, Mr. Merz isn't the first person to crack up on air. BBC Radio 4 newsreader Charlotte Green lost control on the programme Today not so long ago. It all happened after a clip of the oldestknown recording of the human voice was played. A studio member remarked that the 1860 recording of a woman singing the French song "Au Clair de la Lune" sounded like a "bee buzzing in a bottle". That emed to t Ms. Green off as she broke down into a fit of the giggles. Later, the editor of the show, Ceri Thomas, said most listeners who contacted the show had commented on "how much they had enjoyed the moment". He added, "When Charlotte los it, she really los it." So, why do we get the fits of laughter? Experts say it's a form of relea. Nervous tension often builds up inside us, especially in tho who have got high-pressure, stressful jobs. When stresd out, thebody constricts (收缩) blood vesls, elevates the production of potentially damaging stress hormones, and rais blood pressure. Short periods of stress are normal and not dangerous, but over long periods of time stress weakens the immune system and makes heart problems more likely. Under the control of lf-protecting mechanisms of human body, this pressure needs an outlet, usually manifesting itlf throughtears, anger or laughter- uncontrollable fits of laughter! So, beware! That uncontrollable laughing fit could strike at any moment.1. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "crack up"?A. break up   B. cheer upC. laugh away   D. catch on2.
