十、阅读理解。
A
While popular in the US, the April Fool's Day tradition is even more popular in European countries, such as France and Great Britain. Although the roots of the traditional tricking are unclear, the French and the British both have their own stories about the origin of the celebration.
One story holds that the first April Fool‘s Day was on April 1 of the year when the king of France introduced the new calendar. This new system placed the day that had formerly been the first day of a new year on April 1. Many people were not used to the new calendar and continued(继续) to celebrate New Year’ s Day on what had become the first day of April. Thus, they became the first April Fools. Others began to give funny gifts on the day to laugh at the fools who continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1.
An English story about the day, however, says that it began sometime during the1200s. At the time, King John was in the habit of making roads out of the paths he most often walked along. The people of one particular farm village were aware of this. To avoid having their green grasslands and pastures(牧场) disturbed by one of the king's roads, they built a fence that prevented the king from walking through their countryside.
The king sent a group of messengers(使者) to inform the villagers that they must remove the fence. Upon hearing that the king was planning to do this, however, the villagers developed a plan of their own. When the king’ s messengers arrived, they were met by the villagers pretending to be mad. The people just throw things and ran around wildly. The messengers were surprised by this and reported to King John that these people were so mad that there was no necessity of punishing them. So, the villagers saved their farmland by tricking the king. In Great Britain, tradition only allows April Fool's tricks from midnight to noon on April 1. Those who try to play tricks in the afternoon become the fools themselves.

Many of us enjoy watching animals in the wild. They usually make us pleased, cheer us up and, sometimes, even make us frightened. But do you know they can teach us Wild geese, for example, teach a very good lesson about teamwork.
In fall, Canada wild geese fly south to get away from Canada's cold winter weather. They lift off in no order. Yet very quickly they form a V shape, with one bird leading the flock. Scientists have discovered that wild geese flying in a V shape can help them to save energy. In this way, they can fly 70 percent farther without rest than those flying alone.
What can human learn from this
Be an encourager. We have found that wild geese make sound in flight to encourage those that have fallen behind to keep up with the speed. Team members should regularly communicate with each other while working towards a common goal.
Take turns. The wild goose out in front has the hardest job as it has to break up the air currents(气流) . When it gets tired, it moves behind, and another goose moves to the front. By sharing the role, the flock can travel a long distance. Teams can get advantages from the same idea. Based on their experience and skills, people can take turns sharing the leadership
Set a good example. When wild geese are on the ground, if something frightens the leader, it might fly off. So does the flock. But if the leader stays calm, the flock will do the same. Wild geese and people usually imitate their leaders. When leading, we must remember that our actions and feelings will be passed on to our followers.
Whether it is in our personal lives or our work, we need other people. We are encouraged by their enthusiasm(热情) and energy. If we face the difficulties alone, the risks are greater. Like wild geese, when we work together, our burdens are lighter.
( )6. According to the passage, animals usually make people feel ____ .
A. interested and relaxed B. pleased and cheerful
C. frightened and worried D. surprised and excited
( )7. How do wild geese encourage each other during the flight
By making sound.
B. By following the leader.
C. By flying in a V shape.
D. By taking turns to fly in front.
( )8. The underlined word“imitate” in the passage means“____”.
A. control B. stop C. warn D. follow
( )9. What can we infer (推断) from the passage
A. Taking turns to be the leader while flying is to search for more food.
B. It seems that working together can only be needed on our jobs.
C. By helping and sharing, our problem in life can be less difficult.
D. It is always useless for leaders to set an example to group members.
( )10. What is the passage mainly about
A. Art of leadership.
B. Life of Wild Geese.
C. Lessons from Wild Geese.
D.Secrets of Flight.
