Although the roots of the tradition 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 Fools 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. At first, many people were not used to the new calendar and continued to celebrate New Years 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 the 1200s. 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 knew this. To avoid having their green grasslands and pastures (牧场) disturbed by one of the kings roads, they built a fence to stop the king from walking through their countryside. The king sent a group of messengers（使者）to tell the villagers that they must take the fence away. Upon hearing that the king was planning to do this, however, the villagers developed a plan of their own. When the kings messengers arrived, they were met by the villagers pretending to be mad. The people just threw 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 Fools tricks from midnight to noon on April 1. Those who try to play tricks in the afternoon become the fools themselves.56. From this passage, we know that_. A. the villagers built a fence to stop King John from walking through their countrysideB. King John often walked on the farmC. the king of France became the first April foolD. the villagers didnt save their farmland by tricking King John57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. An English story about the April Fools Day says it began in the 1200s.B. The king of France introduced the new calendar.C. The roots of the tradition are unclear. D. Few people of France were not used to the new calendar.58. The author mentions all the following EXCEPT that_. A. the French and the Americans both have their own stories about the April Fools DayB. the April Fools Day tradition in the US is less popular than in the European countriesC. the new calendar system made the former new years day April 1D. in Britain, tradition only allows April Fools tricks from midnight to noon on April 159. We can infer from the passage that_. A. all the European countries have their own stories about the origin of the April Fools DayB. stories about the roots of the April Fools Day are not the sameC. the April Fools Day in France is more popular than that in Great BritainD. in Great Britain those who try to play tricks in the afternoon become fools60. Whats the main idea of this passage?A. How to celebrate the April Fools Day. B. The king and the April Fools Day. C. Something about the origin of the April Fools Day. D. Something about a new calendar.BIt is exciting to visit different places. As you travel, you will see beautiful sceneries typical of the region. Besides, you can meet and make friends with people of different colors and races. Finally, you can get to know the customs and living habits of the local people. Today people are so fond of travelling that tourism has become one of the fastest growing industries in most countries.The main reason why people travel is, perhaps, for pleasure. For example, having worked hard throughout the weekdays, people will find a widened trip to the nearby mountains or beaches for a relaxation. For another example, spending an annual holiday travelling abroad is an especially satisfying experience for those who do not have much of an opportunity to be away from their homelands. When people return from their travel, they will generally feel fresh and energetic, ready to work harder.Travelling is also one of the best means for learning. You may have read or heard about something but you can never get an accurate(精确的) picture of it until you see it for yourself. Seeing is believing. Furthermore, if you are a careful observer, you can learn much during your travel about the geography, biology, and history of the places you visit. No matter how well educated you are, there is always a lot for you to learn through travelling. The knowledge acquired from travel, as you have found in your life, is no less valuable than that from any influential reference books.61.According to the passage, it is exciting for people to visit different places for the following reasons EXCEPT_A.
