四、阅读理解 （共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
Every year, we celebrate many special days─Mother's Day, Father's Day, and New Year's Day. In some countries, there is a special day for playing tricks on others. In North America and parts of Europe, this day is known as April Fool's Day, and is celebrated on April 1.
Many people believe that the French started April Fool's Day. Centuries ago, New Year's Day in Europe was April 1. In 1582, the calendar changed and King Charles IX of France moved it to January 1.
Some people did not like this, and chose to keep April 1 as New Year's Day. Many called these people 'April fools' and played jokes and tricks on them. Over time, April 1 became a day to have fun in France. It then spread to England and Scotland, and later, to North America.
On April Fool's Day, jokes are common. In the United States, for example, a person may move a friend's clock ahead one hour, or change the sugar and salt. In Scotland, April Fool's Day lasts for two days. The second day is called 'Taily Day'─for one's 'tail'. On this day, people might secretly put a sign saying 'kick me' on a person's back or behind. Other countries have their own 'Fool's Day'. In Spain and Mexico, people play tricks on each other on December 28. In India, it happens on March 31.
In many countries around the world, April 1 is a day of fun. Jokes bring about a lot of laughter, and many shouts of 'April Fool'!

Dear Dr Dave and Dr Dee,
I went out for lunch with some workmates, but I wasn’t hungry and had only eaten part of my dishes. I asked the waiter for a doggy bag, but my workmates have not stopped playing a joke on me about this. I don’t have a dog, so they keep asking me when I am getting a dog so that when I go out to eat, I won’t have to lie about the doggy bag. Should I have asked for the leftovers in another way? One of my workmates later told me that it wasn’t proper to ask for leftovers in a restaurant. Is this true? Please help me.
Signed,
Humiliated
Dear Humiliated,
It is fine to take leftover food home from a restaurant. However, if you have eaten most of the food on your plate, then it’s best not to take the rest home.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
If half the food on your plate was left, then the waiter is supposed to offer to wrap (打包) it for you without your asking. Instead of asking for a doggy bag, if the waiter doesn’t offer, then ask the waiter, “Could you please wrap this for me?”
Yours,
Dave

Three stories about April Fool’s Day
The first one: 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 supermarket 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.
The second one: A famous TV star once invited his girlfriend onto his show on April Fool’s Day. He begged her to marry him. However, when she said “yes”, he replied “April Fool!”. That little joke had a unhappy ending. The TV star lost both his girlfriend and his show.
The third one: In 1938, a radio program by actor Orson Welles announced a news that aliens(外星人) from Mars had landed on the Earth. He described where they had landed and told how they were moving across the United States. Hundreds of people believed the story. And panic(恐慌) spread across the whole country. By the time the radio told that the story was a hoax, many people had left their homes.
