四、阅读理解
April Fool's Day is supposed to be a day to play jokes on others in hopes of getting a good laugh and making one feel like a fool. However, the April Fool’s Day of 2016 was quite different for my mom and me.
That day my friend Jimmy and I were playing a game. I had dropped down from a bar(横木) many times in the past without ever having a problem, but that day the simple act of dropping to the ground became a nightmare(噩梦). I broke my arm, Jimmy's dad heard my crying and rushed out to see what was going on. When he saw the problem, he quickly put me into his truck and went inside to telephone my mom and let her know he would take me to the hospital. As that day was April Fool’s Day, Mom was not buying it and really thought all that was a big joke. Mom was finally convinced by Jimmy's mom. When she saw me，she broke down in tears because she felt so bad—she simply believed that was just a big trick.
I guess one could compare this to the story The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Since I had played bad tricks before, it was no wonder that my mom didn't believe it. I as well as my mom was made to look like a fool that day. We both learned a valuable lesson.

B. She would not like to pay the money.
