二、阅读理解
A
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.

April Fool’s Day is a holiday that is enjoyed all around the world. Although many countries and cultures celebrate the day at different times and in different ways, all of them enjoy playing clever pranks (玩笑）on their friends and family. Learning a few pranks for April Fool’s Day can help you get a few laughs, have a lot of fun, and make the most out of the holiday. Follow these tips：
Tip 1 Take batteries (电池）out of remotes (遥控器).
A simple trick you can play on your family members or housemates is to remove (拿开) the batteries from remotes. When they go to turn on the TV， nothing will happen，causing them to wonder what’s going on. For extra fun，try replacing the batteries with something silly like baby carrots or leaving a note that says "April Fool".
Tip 2 Put up a "wet paint" sign.
Putting up a “wet paint” sign can be a simple and effective prank. You can enjoy watching people try to avoid it wherever you’ve placed the sign.

Stand by with some friends and share a few laughs together as you watch people go out of their way to avoid the “wet paint”.
Tip 3 Stare up at the sky.
If you are out in a public place on April Fool’s Day, you can try staring up at the sky.

Try getting others to stare up at nothing with you, to make the prank more convincing.

Some pranks are considered classics and the whoopee cushion is one of them. You can try putting a whoopee cushion in someone’s chair, resulting in a funny and embarrassing sound when they sit down. Your friend will be confused and amused to find that you were the one behind this classic prank.

Last Sunday I had an embarrassing experience.
I was going to my friend Wang Jun’s birthday party. I decided to buy him a CD as a birthday present. By the time I paid for the CD, I found that I had left my wallet at home. Then I had to hurry back home. By the time I arrived home, I realized that I had locked my keys in my room. It was half past eleven. So I had to go to his party with nothing.
It was really an embarrassing day!
