What is humour?
A sense of humour is universally considered the most valuable asset(资产)in our personality.It is born within every person’s heart, but it has to be cultivated.A person without a sense of humour is just like a spring without flowers or a dish without seasoning.In a sense, your personality lies in your sense of humour.
Humour can enhance(提高)physical as well as mental well-beings.It helps us bare our burden, reduce tension, helps us overcome our frustrations, relax our muscles and dissolve countless trifles and irritations offered by daily life.
With the cracking of a joke, all of our worries and sadness disappear like mist and we are full of vigor once again.Besides, humour helps us live in harmony with others.With it you can always stay on good terms with others.
One way to cultivate a sense of humour is to have a wide range of knowledge about many topics so that the slightest differences in meaning of a joke can be fully understood; otherwise we would be simply at a loss in such a situation.Another important point in developing a sense of humour is to have a rich imagination.Nothing can be worse than the lack of imagination to kill an otherwise funny joke.
A sense of humour is one of the ways in which we relax and recreate ourselves.The things we find humourous may vary, but to have a sense of humour is very important and should be cultivated to get the most out of life.

JIUQUAN, Gansu---China launched successfully its third manned spacecraft on Thursday with three astronauts on board to attempt the country’s first-ever space walk.
The spaceship Shenzhou VII blasted off(发射) on a Long March II-F carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the northwestern Gansu Province at 9:10pm.after a breathtaking countdown to another milestone on China’s space journey.
On board pilots Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng are expected to orbit the earth for three days, when one of them will float out of the cabin about 343 kilometers above the earth.
When they make it, China will become the third country in the world who is able to conduct extravehicular activity (EVA) in space following the former Soviet Union and the United States.
President Hu Jintao watched the historic moment at the launch center, joined by Chinese experts and other work staff.
Hu briefly met the trio astronauts before they entered the spacecraft Thursday afternoon, wishing them “a complete success in this glorious and sacred mission”.
“During the mission, you will carry out China’s EVA with homemade EVA space suit, which is a great leap for China’s space technology.” said Hu.
Other tasks of the Shenzhou VII crew include the release of a small monitoring satellite and a trial of the data relay of the satellite Tianlian-I.
If successful, the mission would be of great significance to the country’s future plans to build a space lab and a space station, said ZhangJianqi, deputy chief commander of the manned space project.
