Quiz time
愚人节是英、美等国家一个特有的娱乐性节日。每年4月1日,朋友、熟人间往往会用一些玩笑来相互愚弄、取乐。被成功“欺骗”了的人会被大家嬉笑为“四月愚人”
(April fool)。愚人节由于其特定的愉悦氛围和文化特质,深受大众喜爱。
愚人节(April Fool’s Day )
愚人节虽非政府法定节假日，只是人们嬉笑逗乐而已，但社会影响力却十分巨大。这一天有的报纸、电视、广播
Culture Focus
等公众媒体甚至会煞有其事地刊登或播报自编的虚假信息，令公众上当,逗个乐子。如此这般被蒙在鼓里，相信上当的人不在少数。在这些国家,人们基于对这一节日既有文化的理解和接受，对这一天的恶作剧往往也不过一笑作罢。自嘲一不小心成了“四月愚人”，不会过分在意、深究。
如今，这一节日也逐渐在世界的许多国家流行开来。不过，在诸如我国等非英语国家，由于人们所持文化认同感和对玩笑容忍度的差异，人们在愚人节互开玩笑，愚弄他人时应持审慎及得当的态度。

In another famous trick a TV show in England reported the discovery of special water.
