　　"The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year." --Mark Twain

　　How do you think April Fools' Day originated? Did some joker in biblicaltimes decide to switch the frankincense and the myrrh? Was there a historicepidemic of spring fever-tomfoolery in a tiny Finnish town in the early1800s? Did a New Yorker in 1910 find a cockroach in his coffee cup anddecide to recreate the experience for his officemate, thereby sparking afamous April 1 lawsuit? In a convincing testimonial to the saying thattruth is stranger than fiction, we'll tell you the story, or at leastpresent the most viable theory, of how April Fools' Day came to be.

　　Once upon a time, back in 16th-century France, before computers, people celebrated New Year's Day on March 25, the advent of spring. It was afestive time. They partied steadily until April 1. In 1564, when the calendar reformed and became Gregorian, King Charles IXproclaimed, perhaps pompously, that New Year's Day should be celebrated on January 1 instead of in the spring. Diehard conservatives resisted the change (or perhaps didn't hear about it due to the absence of e-mail) and continued to celebrate New Year's from March 25 to April 1. During this period of spring festivity, the more flexible French mocked the rigidrevelers by sending them foolish gifts and invitations to non-existent parties. The victim of an April Fools' Day prank was called a "poisson d'avril," or an "April fish," because at that time of year, the sun was leaving thezodiacal sign of Pisces. April Fools' Day hit its stride (avoiding thebanana peel) in England in the 18th century, and was brought to colonial America by the English, Scottish, and French. No fooling.

It’s hard to find a star shining brighter in Nashville than Kenny Chesney. Since he took off 15 years ago, this country musician has sold more than 25 million albums, has had sixteen No. 1 hits, won countless awards and had a sea of loyal fans who have made him the biggest North American concert-ticket seller.

Kenny is certainly at the height of his career as he releases his Greatest Hits II album this week. It’s a collection of songs in which he says each takes him to a different place or event in his life. The most personal is the song I’m Alive, Kenny tells The Boot. "Most of the songs on this record are really fun, but I wrote I’m Alive after my breakup with Renee. I woke up one day and realized, even though I had gone through this and didn’t feel good about it, my life still belongs to me. I’m alive;

I get to make music;

I’ve got a lot of great friends. That’s the message of the song."

Kenny insists that the song selection for Greatest Hits II is not formulaic(刻板的). In addition to the hits that climbed the country charts, the singer also wanted to include some songs unknown to his fans that reflected his life and career path. "I didn’t want it to be all hits;

I wanted it to be a second chapter of my life in music,"

he explains. "So the song Beas You Are really does that for me."

Kenny recently celebrated his 41st birthday, but the number of candles on the cake didn’t depress him a bit, thanks to what he loves so deeply.

"I still feel like I’m 18,"he says. "Living life the way you do on the road, it definitely keeps you feeling that way. And I think people that have music in their life are a lot better off (富有) and healthier than people that don’t. I’ve been very content to have not just a little bit of music in my life, but a whole lot of music. It drives my life."

60. Kenny Chesney refers to one of his songs I’m Alive for the purpose of _________.

A. telling his fans about his breakup with his girlfriend

B. inspiring his fans with confidence in life

C. calling on people to make music like him

D. advertising his new album to increase sales

61. We can learn from the passage that Kenny Chesney ______.

A. is a star not only in Nashville, but also around the world

B. won few awards for his work in country music

C. was at his most successful when Greatest Hits II was released

D. selected nothing but big hits for Greatest Hits II

62. What is the relationship between music and life, according to Kenny Chesney?

A. Music is a way of earning a lot of money.

B. Music always makes people feel they are 18.

C. Music gives life power, besides wealth and health.

D. Music is the most important part of everyone’s life.

Experts have confirmed youngsters who use Face book(美国一社交网站) do worse in exams. For the study, the researchers quizzed 219 college students about their study habits and the time they spent on Face book. They found that 65 percent of Face book users used the net daily, often checking it several times to see if they had received new messages. The study said that 68 percent of students who used Face book didn’t perform as well as those who did not use the site. Surfing on Face book can swallow up(耗尽) hours of study time. University student Daisy Jones, 21, said: "I was in the library trying to write a 2,000-word essay when I noticed my Face book habit had gotten out of hand. I couldn’t resist going online. You do that, then someone’s photo catches your eyes. Before you know it, a couple of minutes have turned into a couple of hours and you haven’t written a thing."

While they focused on Face book, the findings are also thought to hold true for other social networking sites.

A research by the National Literacy Trust recently showed that one in five youngsters aged seven to 15 never read books outside school because websites and blogs are becoming their reading matter of choice. Pupils ranked social networking sites, blogs, general websites and magazines above books in a survey of their reading habits. Research has also shown that youngsters are spending up to six hours a day in front of a screen.

However, students appeared to ignore the effect of going online on their study performance. The majority did not feel it had an impact on their work.

A spokesman for Face book said: "There is also research that shows the benefits of services like Face book. It’s in the hands of students, with the help of their parents, to decide how they spend their time."

63. What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. study shows pupils who spend time on Face book do worse in exams.

B. People who spend more time on Face book spend less time reading.

C. Websites and blogs are becoming student’s reading matter of choice.

D. The usage of Face book among younger children is high and growing.

64. The third paragraph is developed by ________ in structure.

A. example B. argument C. description D. analysis

65. What’s most students’ attitude towards the result of the study?

A. Contrary. B. Supportive. C. Understandable. D. Uninterested.

66. According to Facebook’s spokesman, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Face book doesn’t accept the result of the study.

B. The result of the study is good for students.

C. Students are to blame for their poor performance in study.

D. It’s parents who decide whether students should be allowed to use Face book.

关于“愚人节”的来源有各种不同的说法，有人说与一群不愿接受公历纪年的法国保守者有关；也有人说它来源于纪念丰收女神的女儿被诱拐到地狱；还有人说，这个节日始于英国一个名叫“愚人村”的天才村民；另一些说法则认为春天的天气变化无常，因此人们在春分前后可以选择某一日颠倒乾坤，以荒诞的闹剧来迎接春神的到来...至于哪种说法更为可信，全凭您“拭目”定夺喽！

April Fool's dictionary

Has it ever occurred to you that the word "fool"

is used in many different and often contradictory ways? The Bible says "speak not in the ears of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of thy words,"

but Shakespeare often used "fools"

in his plays as vehicles for wisdom and telling the truth.

不要小看Fool，它可是大有学问的吆。《圣经》中有很多关于“愚人”的有趣表达，如:“不要跟傻子说话，他只会鄙夷智者的言论”。在莎翁的戏剧里， Fool也常常出现，但这时的“愚人”可不是傻子而是绝顶聪明的“宫廷小丑”，他拿愚蠢作护身符说出一般人不愿说出的真话，很应了我们汉语中“大智若愚” 的至理名言。

英文介绍

April Fools'

Day is a day to play jokes on others, No one knows how this holiday began but people think it first started in France.

In the 16 th century, people celebrated New Year's Day from March 25 to April 1. In the mid—1560s King Charles IX changed it from March 25 to January 1. But some people still celebrated in on April 1, so others called them April Fools.

Each country celebrates April Fools'

Day differently. In France, people call the April Fools “April Fish”. They tape a paper fish to their friends'

backs to fool them. When he or she finds this , they shout “April Fish!”

In England, people play jokes only in the morning. You are a “noodle” if someone fools you. In Scotland, April Fools'

Day is 48 hours long. They call an April Fool “April Gowk”. Gowk is another name for a cuckoo bird.

In the America, people play small jokes on their friends and any other people on the

first of Aprol. They may point down to your shoe and say, “ Your shoelace is untied.” If you believe them and look down to see, you are an April Fool then.

History of April Fool's Day

The history of April Fool's Day or All Fool's Day is uncertain, but the current thinking is that it began around 1582 in France with the reform of the calendar under Charles IX. The Gregorian Calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was moved from March 25 - April 1 (new year's week) to January 1.

Communication traveled slowly in those days and some people were only informed of the change several years later. Still others, who were more rebellious refused to acknowledge the change and continued to celebrate on the last day of the former celebration, April 1. These people were labeled "fools"

by the general populace, were subject to ridicule and sent on "fool errands,"

sent invitations to nonexistent parties and had other practical jokes played upon them. The butts of these pranks became known as a "poisson d'avril"

or "April fish"

because a young naive fish is easily caught. In addition, one common practice was to hook a paper fish on the back of someone as a joke.

This harassment evolved over time and a custom of prank-playing continue on the first day of April. This tradition eventually spread elsewhere like to Britain and Scotland in the 18th century and was introduced to the American colonies by the English and the French. Because of this spread to other countries, April Fool's Day has taken on an international flavor with each country celebrating the holiday in its own way.

In Scotland, for instance, April Fool's Day is devoted to spoofs involving the buttocks and as such is called Taily Day. The butts of these jokes are known as April 'Gowk', another name for cuckoo bird. The origins of the "Kick Me"

sign can be traced back

to the Scottish observance.

In England, jokes are played only in the morning. Fools are called 'gobs'

or 'gobby'

and the victim of a joke is called a 'noodle.'

It was considered back luck to play a practical joke on someone after noon.

In Rome, the holiday is known as Festival of Hilaria, celebrating the resurrection of the god Attis, is on March 25 and is also referred to as "Roman Laughing Day."

In Portugal, April Fool's Day falls on the Sunday and Monday before lent. In this celebration, many people throw flour at their friends.

The Huli Festival is celebrated on March 31 in India. People play jokes on one another and smear colors on one another celebrating the arrival of Spring.

So, no matter where you happen to be in the world on April 1, don't be surprised if April fools fall playfully upon you.
