22、 filled with allusions(典故) and irony andhilarious 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 bewonderfully funny. Many others did not. He assigned journals over a six week period, to bewritten in e

23、very day.At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits and pieces about myideas, short stories, reactions to what we had read, and so on. Our teacher announced that wewould be grading each others journals. Mine was passed to Joe, that class clown, who alwaysbehaved in a funny or silly wa

24、y. He saw it fit to make joke of and said, “This writing isnt fit toline the bottom of a birdcage.” Our teacher laughed at that funny remark. It hurt me so much thatthe anger from it has driven my writing and teaching ever since.So what makes the difference? Humor is one of the most powerful tools t

30、ment. Three in four American college studentsnearly double the1970 proportion now consider it “very important” or “essential” that they become “very well offfinancially”. Money matters.But a surprising fact of life is that in countries where nearly everyone can afford lifes necessities, increasing w

The connection between income andhappiness is “surprisingly weak,” observed University of Michigan researcher Ronald Ingle hart inone 16-nation study of 170,000 people.

Making it big brings temporary joy. But in the long run we

33、alth is like health: itscomplete absence can create suffering, but having it doesnt guarantee happiness.

35、 up nearly four times, and depression has mushroomed.Economic growth has provided no boost to human morale. When it comes to psychological wellbeing, it is not the economy.

36、h incomes and low confidence, secured rights and reducedcivility. We are good at making a living but often fail at making a life. We celebrate ourprosperity(繁荣) but long for a purpose.
