People
don’t
know
the
origin
(起源)
of
April
Fool’s
Day
clearly.
Some
say
April
Fool’s
Day
began
many
years
ago
in
France.
Long
ago
in
France,
the
old
New
Year’s
festival
was
celebrated
from
March
25th
to
April
1st
and
ended
with
exchange
(交换)of
presents.
Later
the
King
changed
the
New
Year
to
January
1st.
some
people
still
celebrated
the
New
year
in
April.
They
were
called
April
Fish
and
were
given
presents
as
a
joke.
But
in
many
countries,
April
Fool’s
Day
is
not
celebrated
on
April
1st
but
on
other
days.
In
Mexico(墨西哥),
April
Fool’s
Day
is
on
the
28th
of
December.
In
ancient
Rome
(古罗马),
the
day
was
on
the
25th
of
March.
In
India,
the
day
is
on
the
31st
of
March.
In
America,
the
day
is
mostly
decided
by
young
people
and
jokes
who
want
to
make
fun
of
other
people.
But
it
is
important
to
remember
that
your
friends
and
you
will
be
both
happy.
One
must
remember
the
difference
between
a
good
joke
and
a
bad
one.

New
York:
When
the
first
plane
struck
1
World
Trade
Center
at
8:48
am
on
Tuesday,
the
people
in
2
World
Trade
Center
who
saw
the
instant
(瞬间的)
damage
to
the
other
tower
realized
clearly
what
they,
too,
must
do:
get
out
fast.
Katherine
Ilachinsiki,
who
had
been
knocked
off
her
chair
by
the
blast
(一阵)of
heat
exploding
from
the
neighboring
tower,
was
one
of
those.
Despite（尽管）
her
70
years
of
age,
Mrs
Ilachinsiki,
an
architect（建筑师）working
on
the
91st?floor
of
2
World
Trade
Center,
the
south
tower,
went
for
the
stairs.
Twelve
floors
above
her,
Judy
Wein,
an
executive
(经理),
cried
sharply
and
set
off
too.
But
others
up
and
down
the
110
floors,
many
without
seeing
the
damage
across
the
way
and
thus
unclear
about
what
was
happening,
were
not
so
sure.
And
the
18
minutes
before
the
next
plane
would
hit
were
ticking
off.
Most
people
had
no
idea
about
what
was
the
best
thing
to
do,
formal
announcements
inside
the
south
tower
asked
people
to?stay
put,
assuring（使……确信）them
that
the
building
was
sound
and
the
threat
was
limited
to
the
other
tower.re
announcements
and
other
cautions
(警告)
to
stop
or
return,
went
back
up.
The
decisions
made
in
those
instants
proved
to
be
of
great
importance,
because
many
who
chose
to
stay
were
killed
completely
when
the
second
plane
crashed
into
the
south
tower.
One
of
those
caught
in
indecision
(犹豫不决)
was
the）executive（行政官）at
Fuji
Bank
USA.Richard
Jacobs
of
Fuji
Bank
left
the
79th?floor
with
the
other
office
workers,
but
on
the
48th
?floor
they
heard
the
announcement
that
the
situation
was
under
control.
Several
got
in
the
lifts
and
went
back
up,
two
minutes
or
so
before
the
plane
crashed
into
their
floor.“I
just
don’t
know
what
happened
to
them,”
Mr
Jacobs
said.
