One April Fool’s Day, a reporter in England announced that there would be no more spaghetti because the spaghetti farmers in Italy had stopped growing spaghetti. Many people ran to their local supermarkets to buy as much spaghetti as they could. By the time people realized that the story was a hoax, all of the spaghetti across the country had been sold out. In another famous trick a TV show in England reported the discovery of special water. They said this water would help people lose weight and that one customer had already lost a lot of weight in just four months. By the end of the day, more than 10,000 people had phoned the TV station to find out how to get this water.

Do you want to get the special water
Do you think the two stories are funny or sad
Are all tricks funny all the time
Many April Fool’s jokes may end up being not very funny. A famous TV star once invited his girlfriend onto his show on April Fool’s Day. He asked her to marry him. The lady was so happy because she really wanted to get married. However, when she said “yes”, he replied, “April Fool!” That little joke didn’t have a very happy ending. The TV star lost his girlfriend and his show was canceled.
Read para. 3 carefully and answer the questions.
1.Why did the TV star's joke
have a bad ending
2.Why did the story have the result
Because he lost his girlfriend and his show was canceled.
Because the TV star let his girlfriend and fans down.
The harm to any one person’s trick is wrong, we should learn how to respect.
（伤害到任何一个人的恶作剧都是错误的，
我们应该懂得尊重。)
Do all the jokes and tricks happen
only on April Fool's Day
One of the world’s most famous tricks, however, happened in October rather than in April. In that month in 1938, actor Orson Welles announced on his radio program that aliens from Mars had landed on the earth. He described where they had landed and told how they were moving across the United States. Welles made it sound so real that hundreds of people believed the story, and fear spread across the whole country. By the time police officers announced that the story was a hoax, thousands of people had left their homes.

Later that day, I knew he put toothpaste (牙膏) into the Oreo. I couldn’t believe I was fooled by him. I brushed my teeth again. After that, my brother gave me a box of Oreo, and said “Happy April Fool’s Day.” Finally I was happy to get these delicious biscuits.
I think I had a happy and lucky day.
What a lucky day!
