April Fool's Day，also called All Fools' Day，is celebrated in many English-speaking countries，and other countries，on April 1 every year. Although not usually a holiday，April Fool's Day is widely recognized as a time when people play practical jokes and hoaxes on each other. If someone is taken in by the joke，they are called an “April Fool”.
In some countries，particularly the UK，you must play your April Fool's Day joke before midday，otherwise you become the fool.
It is not at all clear how April Fool's Day started. Some people associate it with the sixteenth-century adoption（采用）in Europe of the Gregorian calendar instead of the Julian calendar，when the beginning of the year moved from April 1 to January 1.But that seems unlikely（不大可能发生的）given that many countries have a similar day for joking around at other times of the year.
One of the most famous April Fool's jokes ever was the Swiss Spaghetti Harvest documentary，broadcast by BBC TV in 1957. Many viewers thought that this was a genuine documentary and called in asking where they could buy “spaghetti plants”.
Another example of successful April Fool's jokes was the article published by English Club on April 1， 2008 entitled（题为）UN to Ban ‘Unnecessary’ Languages. This generated（产生）almost immediate 300 comments，many from visitors who believed the article.

2．A successful April Fool's joke must be played __________ according to British tradition.

【答案】CBCCA
【解析】这篇短文主语讲述了愚人节是许多英语国家的一个娱乐性节日。每年4月1日，人们编出一些玩笑相互愚弄。相信的人被称为“四月愚人”。
1．推理判断题。由文中第一段第二句“April Fool's Day，also called All Fools' Day，is celebrated in many English-speaking countries，and other countries，on April 1 every year. Although not usually a holiday，”可知，愚人节不是一个节假日，故C项不正确。故选C。
2．细节理解题。根据文中particularly the UK，you must play your April Fool's Day joke before midday，otherwise you become the fool.可知，愚人节中午前。故选B。
3．段落大意题。通读第三段可知，在16世纪欧洲人用格里历代替了儒略历，把新年的开始从4月1日改为1月1日。由此推知，愚人节的起源可能与此有关，故选C。
4．细节理解题。根据文中Another example of successful April Fool's jokes was the article published by English Club on April 1， 2008 entitled（题为）UN to Ban ‘Unnecessary’ Languages.可知，在2008年被出版的。故选C。

The Value of Negative Results
We all avoid failure(失败), and most of us fear it. However, without failure, progress would be impossible. What does success usually come after Failure.
Accepting failure is not easy for many, though. We are often unwilling to accept failure because our professional fame depends on success. 1. In the past ten years, for example, some scientific magazines have published reports of failed tests. It is believed that scientists can learn from “negative(负面的)” results and that this can finally lead to positive results.
2. The ABN AMRO bank started an Institute (机构) of Brilliant Failures to learn more about what works and what doesn’t in banking. Similarly, Eli Lilly and Company had failure parties to study the drugs(药物) that don’t work.
In fact, one of the business world’s most famous failures became one of its biggest successes, in part because the product’s makers learned from their mistakes. 3. The product, though unique(独特的)at the time, was expensive and heavy; besides, some of its most important features(特点) didn’t work properly. As a result, it became one of Apple’s biggest failures, and in 1998, the company stopped selling it. However, Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, believed in the product and he began to find out ways of improving it. In time, this led to the production of the iPhone and the iPad, two of the company’s most successful products.
4. Not only should we try to learn from it; if we want to succeed, we must also be persistent(执着的). Though Apple stopped selling the Newton in 1998, the first iPhone wasn’t
available until 2007. It took a lot of research and hard work to go from the Apple Newton to iPhone, but in the end, the effort became successful.
All in all, there is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes. Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin. 5.
A. One truly cannot exist without the other.
B. In the early 1990s, Apple created a phone called the Apple Newton.
C. The business world already understands the value of negative results.
D. The Apple Newton has won popularity with people all over the world.
E. However, things are slowly changing, especially in business and science.
F. The story of the Apple Newton can teach us an important lesson about failure.

The Value of Negative Results
We all avoid failure(失败), and most of us fear it. However, without failure, progress would be impossible. What does success usually come after Failure.
Accepting failure is not easy for many, though. We are often unwilling to accept failure because our professional fame depends on success. 1. In the past ten years, for example, some scientific magazines have published reports of failed tests. It is believed that scientists can learn from “negative(负面的)” results and that this can finally lead to positive results.
2. The ABN AMRO bank started an Institute (机构) of Brilliant Failures to learn more about what works and what doesn’t in banking. Similarly, Eli Lilly and Company had failure parties to study the drugs(药物) that don’t work.
In fact, one of the business world’s most famous failures became one of its biggest successes, in part because the product’s makers learned from their mistakes. 3. The product, though unique(独特的)at the time, was expensive and heavy; besides, some of its most important features(特点) didn’t work properly. As a result, it became one of Apple’s biggest failures, and in 1998, the company stopped selling it. However, Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, believed in the product and he began to find out ways of improving it. In time, this led to the production of the iPhone and the iPad, two of the company’s most successful products.
4. Not only should we try to learn from it; if we want to succeed, we must also be persistent(执着的). Though Apple stopped selling the Newton in 1998, the first iPhone wasn’t
available until 2007. It took a lot of research and hard work to go from the Apple Newton to iPhone, but in the end, the effort became successful.
All in all, there is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes. Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin. 5.
A. One truly cannot exist without the other.
B. In the early 1990s, Apple created a phone called the Apple Newton.
C. The business world already understands the value of negative results.
D. The Apple Newton has won popularity with people all over the world.
E. However, things are slowly changing, especially in business and science.
F. The story of the Apple Newton can teach us an important lesson about failure.
