三、阅读理解
On April 1.st, people in Western countries try to play tricks on others. If one succeeds in tricking somebody, he will laugh and say, “April Fool!” The following is one example of tricks people usually play.
On April 1.st, a country bus is going along a road. It slows down and stops. The driver anxiously turns switches and presses buttons, but nothing happens. Then he looks worried on his face and says to the passengers, “This poor bus is getting old. It isn't going well now. There is only one thing we can do if we want to get home early today. I shall count three, and on the word ‘three’, I want all of you to lean (倾斜) forward suddenly. This will make the bus start again. Now, all of you lean back as far as you can in your seats and get ready.” The passengers all press back against their seats and wait anxiously. The driver goes to the front and asks, “Are you ready ” “One! Two! Three!” the driver counts. The passengers all lean forward suddenly, and the bus starts at a great speed. The passengers breathe more easily and begin to smile with relief. But their smile turns to surprise and then laughter when the driver merrily cries, “April Fool!”
