1.阅读理解2b的文章
2.学习2b文章中的语法知识点
知识点1Do you know the history
of April Fool’s Day? April Fools’ Day
= April Fool’s Day
=?All Fools’ DayIt is celebrated every year on the first day of April. It has been popular since the 19th century.The day is not a national holiday?in any country, but it is well known in Europe, Australia, Brazil and the United States.2bApril Fool’s Day is a celebration that takes place in di?erent countries around the world. It happens on April 1st every year and is a day when many people play all kinds of tricks and jokes on each other.
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.
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.
One of the world’s most famous tricks,however,happened in
October rather than 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.
