But in some other countries, such as the US, they can last all day!

听力文本
Karen: Hi, I’m Karen and this is “Fun Time”. I’m joined today by Mark Collin. Hi, Mark.
Mark: Hello!
Karen: As you know, today is the 1st of April or, as we call it, April Fool’s Day, and Mark’s here to tell us about three of the best practical jokes in history.
Mark: Indeed. Let’s start with the oldest recorded April Fool’s joke, which took place on the 1st of April 1698. Some people were told to go to the Tower of London to watch “the washing of the lions”. Of course, there were no lions at the Tower of London. This was reported in a newsletter—similar to today’s newspapers—on the second of April that year. Apparently, this practical joke worked so well that it was played on visitors throughout the 18th and 19th centuries.
听力文本
Karen: Well, I’d be pretty annoyed if someone did that to me. OK, let’s hear the next one.
Mark: OK. This is a practical joke from 1965. The BBC News Channel invited a university professor to talk about his invention called “Smellovision”.
Karen: Smell-o-what
Mark: Smellovision! This was a type of machine that allowed smells to be carried over the airwaves. During the interview, the BBC showed images of people actually smelling a TV screen!
Karen: But I don’t get it...How on earth did people actually believe that there
was such a thing as “Smellovision”
Mark: The professor did a demonstration. He placed coffee beans and onions inside the Smellovision and asked people watching the programme at home to phone him if they could smell anything. And people did! Some really believed they could smell the coffee beans and onions. Some even said that the onions made their eyes water!
听力文本
Karen: I see... I guess you can convince yourself of anything if you really want to.
Mark: Indeed! Now, my favourite one. The “spaghetti tree” joke.
Karen: Oh, I know it! It’s a good one!
Mark: It’s another BBC joke and probably the most famous one. On the 1st of April 1957, a news programme told viewers that the spaghetti trees in Switzerland were having a really good harvest. The programme even showed people picking spaghetti off trees and laying it in the sun to dry.
Karen: That’s so funny!
Mark：Many people fell for the joke because spaghetti wasn’t that common in England at the time.
Karen: I can imagine!
Task 5: Complete the boxes with expressions from the radio programme
Let’s start with… It’s a good one!
I don’t get it. That’s so funny!
Now, my favourite one… I can imagine!
Telling a story Making comments
Task 6: Work in pairs. Tell each other a funny story and make comments using the expressions in this section.

Discussion
1．What is your understanding of the saying “laughter is the best medicine”？Do you agree with it Why？(Critical thinking)
Yes.In my opinion，laughter has a similar effect to physical exercise.It speeds up our heart rate，increases our blood pressure and quickens our breathing.Laughter is actually a powerful weapon against stress，heart disease and problems with the immune system.
2．Besides a clown doctor，is there any other profession that can help patients to recover？(Creative thinking)
Yes，a health care worker or a music therapist(音乐理疗师)．
3. How important do you think clown doctors are （Critical thinking）
I think the clown doctors are extremely important because they help the children who are suffering from the painful illnesses feel better and make their parents more relaxed and less stressed out.

Analyze the key points of the text
Paragraph 1
As I approach the hospital wearing my white coat, I look just like any other doctor. That is until I put on my curly rainbow wig, big red nose, and add my name badge “Doctor Larry Laugh-Out-Loud”. I walk through the doors into the waiting area, where there’s a familiar atmosphere of boredom and tension. People sit uncomfortably on plastic chairs, looking through old magazines, all of which have been read hundreds of times previously. Anxious parents do what they can to comfort nervous and crying children.

Paragraph 2
In the middle of this particular scene I spot a small girl whose ankle is twice its normal size. I speak with the on-duty nurse, who tells me that Lara’s parents rushed her to the hospital after she fell off her bicycle. Since getting here, Lara has spent her time crying in pain. Although it’s the doctors and nurses who will treat her injury, it’s my job to make her feel better.

Scientific studies show that laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better, which means clown doctors can be helpful. We are specially trained clowns who work as part of a programme known as “hospital clowning”. I chose this career because of my experience of going to hospital when I was a kid. Although the doctors and nurses did a great job, hospitals weren’t really designed for children. I spent much of the time when I was there feeling frightened and more than a little bored!

Paragraph 4
Visiting hospitals and other health care facilities, we clown doctors work together with medical professionals. On a typical day, we spend our time cheering up patients, their families, and more often than not, the hospital staff, too! We do this by doing magic tricks, singing songs, telling stories and, of course, telling silly jokes. Some children, though, don’t feel like laughing, especially if they’re in pain. We have to be very sensitive and work closely with the doctors and nurses, who keep us updated on each patient.

And my magic medicine does indeed seem to do the trick. While the doctor concentrates on examining Lara’s ankle, I get her attention by doing a magic trick.

Seeing their daughter so much happier has in turn made Lara’s parents more relaxed.

与限制性定语从句相比较，非限制性定语从句是指与主句关系不十分密切，只对主句中的先行词起补充说明作用的定语从句。其标志是主句和从句之间用逗号隔开。
一、非限制性定语从句的引导词
1.关系词：(1)关系代词：who，whom，which，whose(＝of whom/which)，
as；(2)关系副词：when，where。
2.先行词及其在从句中作的成分
关系词 先行词 在从句中作的成分
who 人 主语/宾语
whom 人 宾语
which 物/整个主句 主语/宾语
whose(＝of whom或of which) 人/物 定语
as 人/物/整个主句 主语/宾语
when 时间名词 时间状语
where 地点名词 地点状语
This is our employer，who I think has something important to tell you.
这是我们的雇主，我认为他有重要的事情要告诉你。
My elder sister has become a doctor，which I wanted to be.
我的姐姐成了一名医生，我原来也想做一名医生。
The barber left his hometown in 1992，when he was only 12 years old.
这位理发师于1992年离开家乡，当时他只有12岁。
Chaplin lived the last years of his life in Switzerland，where he was buried in 1977.
卓别林在瑞士度过了他的晚年，1977年他被安葬在那里。
二、限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句存在许多不同之处，主要有以下几点：
区分点 限制性定语从句 非限制性定语从句
形式不同 紧跟在先行词后，不用逗号隔开 用逗号和主句隔开
功能不同 起限定作用，不可省略，否则主句意思不完整 起补充说明作用，去掉后不影响主句意义的完整
关系词不同 所有关系词都可引导，在从句中作宾语时可省略 that，why不能引导
先行词不同 名词、代词或名词性短语 名词、代词、名词性短语或整个主句
翻译方式不同 一般译为定语 一般译为并列句
The foreign teacher who comes from England is popular in our school.
从英国来的那位外教在我校很受欢迎。(是来自英国的外教，不是别人)
The foreign teacher is popular in our school, who comes from England.
那位外教在我校很受欢迎，他来自英国。(是外教受欢迎，来自英国是补充一下外教的信息)
三、“介词＋which/whom”引导的定语从句
介词的选择原则主要有以下几点：
1.根据介词与动词的搭配关系
There are some details in the project，about which the employer cares much.(care about)
这项工程里有一些细节，雇主对此非常关心。
2.根据介词与形容词的搭配关系
I introduced some subjects to her，in which she may be interested.(be interested in)
我给她介绍了几个科目，她可能对此感兴趣。
3.根据介词与先行词的关系
Last night I took part in a party and lost my key，without which I couldn’t open the door of my dormitory.
昨天晚上我参加聚会把钥匙丢了，没有钥匙我打不开宿舍的门。
4.根据属于与被属于(或部分与整体)的关系
There stands a building over there，the elevators of which often go out of order.
那里矗立着一座楼，这座楼的电梯经常出故障。
四、as和which引导的非限制性定语从句的区别
1.as在非限制性定语从句中作主语或宾语，这个定语从句修饰整个句子。as引导的非限制性定语从句既可以放在主句之后，也可以放在主句之前，还可放在主句之中，有“像……一样，正如，正像”的意思。
As we all know，he always wears a long face.(as作宾语)
我们都知道他总是愁眉苦脸。
As is known to all，he is the tallest student in our class.(as作主语)
众所周知，他是我们班最高的学生。
2.which引导的非限制性定语从句既可指代整个主句的内容，也可指代某个词或词组，但是不能放于句首。
He was late for the meeting，which made the chairman very angry.(which指代整个主句的内容)
他开会迟到了，董事长为此非常生气。
I want to buy the house，which has a garden.(which指代the house)
我想买这座房子，它带有一个花园。
