—I’m twelve. 我十二岁。(教材第44页)
My grandfather is 66 years old.
我爷爷66岁了。
探究总结
(1)“How old+be+主语?”是询问年龄的特殊疑问句,意为“……多大年纪?/……几岁了?”。
(2)回答对年龄的提问一般用“主语+be+基数词+year(s) old.”,也可直接用基数词来回答。
【助记】old的一词多义
【注意】 在西方国家,人们认为年龄是个人隐私,因此社交场合忌讳谈论年龄,尤其是对成年女性,询问她们的年龄是不礼貌的。

愚人节的来历
每年的4月1日,是西方国家的人们最开心的日子之一,因为这一天是闻名世界的“愚人节”。你知道愚人节是怎么来的吗?
April Fool’s Day is a day to play jokes① on others. No one knows how this holiday began but people think it first started in France(法国).
In the 16th century(世纪), 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 it on April 1, so others called them April Fools.
Each country celebrates April Fool’s 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 America, people play small jokes on their friends and any other people on the first of April. They may point down to your shoe and say, “Your shoelace② is untied③.” If you believe them and look down to see, you are an April Fool then.
Notes:①play jokes开玩笑②shoelace n. 鞋带③untied adj. 未系上的;未打结的
