Hangzhou won the right（权力）of having the 2022 Asian Games in 2015. It is the third Chinese city of hosting（举办）the Asian Games after Beijing and Guangzhou in 1990 and 2010. First held in 1951, the Asian Games is the largest multi-sport event in Asia. It also means a lot to China. The Beijing Asian Games was the first large international sports event to be hosted by China, China News Service reported.
To make the Games a great success, Chinese people worked hard to prepare. Beijing built a great number of roads and gyms, including the famous Beijing Olympic Sports Center and Asian Games Village. The Games helped the world see China and its achievements. Since then, China has improved its global image (国际形象), China Youth Daily reported.

When someone says you’re humorous（幽默的）, it means you are given a great gift—a sense of humor. It is usually thought the most valuable（宝贵的) personality. A person without humor is just like a spring without flowers, or like a dish without salt. In a way, your personality lies in your sense of humor.
Humor answers your question and makes you think outside the box. One day, a young painter went to visit the famous German painter Adolpyh Menzel and said to him, “I can’t understand why I only spend one day on a painting but have to wait for one year to sell it out ” Menzel said, “My dear, please try to turn upside down your mind. If you spend one year on it, you can sell it in a day.” With these humorous words, your worries may go away like smoke, and you could be full of energy once again.
Humor can help you when you are under provocation (挑衅). One day the famous German poet Goethe met a critic (批评家) in a small road. The critic said to Goethe, “You know, I’ve never given a way to a stupid man.” Goethe answered, “But I am the opposite of you.” Then he moved on his side and let the critic pass by. As you see, humor gives a lesson to those who want to laugh at others.
People with a good sense of humor may become wise and creative. People with a good sense of humor look happier and healthier. A sense of humor is really one of the keys to happiness. It gives hope and pleasure to life to make it worth living.
38. According to Paragraph 1, What does the writer think of humor
A. Difficult. B. Relaxing. C. Important. D. Expensive.
39. How does the writer organize（组织） Paragraph 2
A. By listing reasons. B. By asking questions.
C. By giving examples. D. By using numbers.
40.Which picture shows the structure of the passage
41. What is the best title of the passage
A. The Pleasure of Life B. The Value of Humor
C. The Stories of Happiness D. The Stories of Humorous People
