My least favorite English teacher also made people laugh. Some students found him to be wonderfully 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 other's journals. Mine was passed to Joe, that clown, who always behaved in a funny or silly way. He thought it fit to make a joke of sb. 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? Humor is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have. It can make students and classes grow fonder and make students 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.

B. He had no sense of humor.
C.He didn't let his students do the grading.

22.The underlined word “hilarious” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
