to shout out the 38 without clashing (相撞) with another voice or leaving a pause. on the first try, 39 of the young germans try to be first, while a few are too shy to join in. but by the fifth 40 , they develop a rhythm (节奏) . the message gives other people space but also claims your own. this is a requirement for social well-being.unlike schools in other nations, german schools do not usually have school sports teams or seek to build school spirit. many teens admit they are 41 and confused, but school is not usually the place to find relief.the willy hellpach school in heidelberg is the

the driest material. it wasnt forced on us either. he took samuel johnsons dictionary, addisons essays, and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them hilarious, even at eight oclock in the morning. the thing that amazed me most was that the first time i read these works on my own some of them seemed dead, but the second time, after his explanation, i couldnt believe that i hadnt seen the humor. the stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with allusions (典故) and irony (反讽) and hilarious moments. i learned more from him than from any other teacher.my least favorite english teacher also made people laugh. some students found him to be funny. many others did not. he assigned journals over a six week period, to be written every day. at the end of the six weeks i had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas, short stories, reactions to what we had read, and so on. our teacher announced that we would be grading each others journals. mine was passed to joe, that class clown, who always behaved in a funny or silly way. he saw it fit to make joke of and said, this writing isnt fit to line (衬垫) the bottom of a birdcage. our teacher laughed at that funny remark. it hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven my writing and teaching ever since.so what makes the difference? humor is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have. it can build up students and classes and make them excited about literature and writing, or it can tear them apart. it is true that humor is either productive or counter-productive and self-defeating.56. the passage mainly discusses _.a. teaching b. literaturec. humor d. knowledge57. the underlined word hilarious in paragraph 1 probably means _.a. funny b. tiringc. inspiring d. brilliant58. the english teacher the writer disliked most _.a. was not able to make students laughb. hurt his students feelingsc. didnt let his students do the gradingd. had no sense of humordthe
