【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了保持幽默的好处。
1. 考查代词。句意：在家里，幽默感可以点亮家庭生活，所以如果可以的话，用笑话来娱乐你自己和你的家人。此处为祈使句，主语和宾语一致，空处需填 you 对应的反身代词 yourself 作宾语。故填 yourself 。
2. 考查形容词。句意：在课堂上，一个幽默的老师不会让学生对学习感到厌烦。 feel 为系动词，后面需加形容词作表语，此处表示人的感受，需用 -ed 结尾的形容词。故填 bored 。
3. 考查名词。句意：在医院里，幽默有时有助于减轻病人的痛苦，使他们恢复体力。空处需填名词 strength 作动词 recover 的宾语，此处表抽象概念，不可数。故填 strength 。
4. 考查形容词最高级。句意：难怪人们常说笑是世界上最好的药。根据 “the world’s” 可知，此处表示 “ 世界上最好的 ” ，使用形容词最高级。故填 best 。
