Warming-up
愚人节也称也称万愚节 。一种说法认为这一习俗源自印度的“诠俚节”。该节规定，每年三月三十一日的节日这天，不分男女老幼，可以互开玩笑、互相愚弄欺骗以换得娱乐。另一种较普遍的说法是起源于法国。1564年，法国首先采用新改革的纪年法——格里历(即目前通用的阳历)，以一月一日为一年的开端，改变了过去以四月一日作为新年开端的历法。新历法推行过程中，一些因循守旧的人反对这种改革仍沿袭旧历，拒绝更新。他们依旧在四月一日这天互赠礼物，组织庆祝新年的活动。主张改革的人对这些守旧者的做法大加嘲弄。聪明滑稽的人在四月一日这天给顽固派赠送假礼物，邀请他们参加假庆祝会，并把这些受愚弄的人称为“四月傻瓜”或“上钩之鱼”。所以每年四月一日，是西方的民间传统节日——愚人节 。

He described where aliens from Mars had landed and told how they were moving across the United States.
We’d better not. If so, the world will be in a panic(处于恐慌中).
Don’t play tricks on the safety of a country. It is very important for everyone.
（不要拿一个国家的安危开玩笑，安全对于每个人来说是非常重要的。）
Read the passage again and answer the questions.
2c
1. Why did the supermarkets run out of spaghetti one April Fool’s Day
2. What did the TV show say the special water could do
3. Why did the TV star’s joke have a bad ending
A reporter announced that there would be no more spaghetti as spaghetti farmers in Italy had stopped growing spaghetti.
It was said that the special water would help people lose weight.
He lost both his girlfriend and his show.
4. When did Orson Welles tell people about aliens from Mars landing on the earth
5. Why did so many people believe Orson Welles
6. Which of these stories is the most believable Which is the least believable Why
7. Would you be fooled by any of these stories
It was in October 1938.
Orson Welles made it sound so real that hundreds of people believed the story.
I think the story of a famous movie star is the most believable. The story of aliens from Mars is the least believable. Because the movie star is living with people. People never see any aliens on the earth.

Example
I was very glad to eat it first. Then I felt strange. It tasted special. What was it I looked at my little brother. He laughed loudly and said nothing.
Later that day, I knew he put toothpaste (牙膏) into the Oreo. I couldn’t believe I was fooled by him. I brushed my teeth again. After that, my brother gave me a box of Oreo, and said “Happy April Fool’s Day.” Finally I was happy to get these delicious biscuits.
I think I had a happy and lucky day.
What a lucky day!
On April Fool’s Day, we can play different kinds of jokes, but we’d better not play jokes about love, marriage or things related to safety or crime.
The reporters should also be responsible for what they said.
Jokes help us relax ourselves and we may not use them to hurt others.
What should we be careful about while playing tricks
Don’t use insulting words.
Don’t make fun of people’ s weakness. For example, if somebody is too fat or too short…
Don’t go beyond the morals.
Don’t break the law……
