————————————————————————————My favourite English teacher could draw humour out of the driest material.We weren't forced to learn.He took Samuel Johnson's dictionary，Joseph Addison's essays，and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them hilarious，even at eight o'clock in the morning.The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own，some of which seemed dead，but the second time，after his explanation，I couldn't believe that I hadn't seen the humour.The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with allusions(典故) and irony and hilarious moments.I learned more from him than from any other teacher.My least favourite English teacher also made people laugh.Some students found him wonderfully funny.Many others did not.He assigned journals over a sixweek 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 other's journals.Mine was passed to Joe，that class clown，who always behaved in a funny or silly way.He saw it fit to make a joke of and said，“This writing isn't fit to line 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？Humour is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have.It can make students and readers excited about literature and writing，or it can tear them apart.It is true that humour is either productive or counterproductive and selfdefeating.根据文章内容判断正(T)误(F)。
