One thing is for sure: Humans have been celebrating this holiday for hundreds of years, in many cultures.One popular theory has to do with the calendar. Many ancient cultures celebrated the new year in spring, around April 1. In Europe, Pope Gregory XIII introduced a new calendar in 1582. The calendar named January 1 as the new start of the year. Many people and countries did not accept the change for years. The story goes that people made fun of the people who still celebrated the new year on April 1.In some countries, folks exchanged gifts on New Years Day. So another theory is that people began to give joke gifts on April 1 after the calendar changed. But there are probably as many explanations for the tradition as there are cultures that take part. One thing is for sure, almost everyone has fun!Mexicans celebrate a kind of fools day on December 28. Youre in trouble on that date if you lend someone something, because you wont get it back! In India, March 31 is the day for tricks. Portuguese, who celebrate on the Sunday or Monday before the Christian holiday of Lent, throw flour on their friends. People in England say playing pranks(玩笑) after noon on April 1 brings bad luck to the prankster. The U.S. holiday doesnt have specific traditions.Humor expert Joel Goodman of the Humor Project teaches businesses and individuals how to enjoy the positive power of humor in daily life. When asked to tell the difference between a good prank and a disgusting one, he explains, “It is the difference between laughing with someone and laughing at them. Humor should lift people up!”So start thinking now. If it looks like rain, fill someones closed umbrella with pieces of paper and watch them pour down when it is open. Glue a coin to the sidewalk with superglue. When people get frustrated trying to pick it up, remember to yell, “APRIL FOOLS!” Of course, kids can respond with the “Disappearing Class”. When the teacher goes out of the room for a moment, all the kids hide. Just remember, the person you play a trick on should be laughing, too. So keep the tradition going in the right spirit.56. What is certain about April Fools Day?A. It dated back to 1582.B. People enjoy this holiday.C. Its origin is related to a calendar.D. Pope Gregory XIII created this holiday.57. What do we know about Fools Day in England?A. It is celebrated before Lent.B. It is celebrated on December 28.C. People throw flour on each other.D. Playing tricks after noon is thought to give bad luck to the prankster.58. Which of the following is a good prank on April Fools Day?A. Skip a class when the teacher is out.B. Fill someones closed umbrella with water.C. Give someone soap that turns his hands dirty.D. Frighten someone to death by dressing up as a ghost. 59. The underlined phrase “lift people up” (Paragraph 5) probably means _.A. be used in daily livesB. make people feel happierC. change peoples attitudeD. be appreciated by people60. What does the author remind people when they play tricks?A. Tricks played should be amusing and harmless.B. The crazier the tricks are, the better.C. Its better to use some special tools.D.

While the Opera House will be popular with tourists for years to come, however, the natural wonder “may become damaged in the coming decades” and may not be able to be fixed, reported the Washington Post in March.The Great Barrier Reef, over 2,300 kilometers in size, is made up of about 3,000 coral reefs and 1,050 islands along the northeast coast of Australia. The reef is home to more than 1,500 species of fish, along with sharks, dolphins, and 400 species of coral. It is, according to UNESCO, “one of the most important ecosystems on Earth when it comes to biodiversity(生物多样性)”.Yet the reef has been damaged since the 1980s. Although 344,400 square kilometers are protected as the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, “we have seen more than 50 percent of coral cover lost over the last 27 years”, WWF Australia CEO Dermot OGorman told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation on March 23.But what caused the damage?According to Science Magazine, tropical storms and crown-of-thorns starfish, a coral-eating species, are the main causes behind it. Bleaching, when the coral loses the organisms(有机体) that live on it when the water gets too warm, is another important factor.However, human behaviors are also to blame. According to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, “poor water quality, caused by factors such as agricultural runoff(地表水) and fishing practices, is an important problem”. It is agricultural runoff that gives the coral-eating starfish the nutrients they need. This is why the Australian governments new target is to cut the amount of runoff from fertilizers(化肥) by 80 percent by 2025, reported AFP.The target is part of a 35-year plan to save the Great Barrier Reef, released on March 21. The Reef 2050 Long-Term Sustainability Plan means that nobody can dump material in the area and set targets to improve the water quality and the numbers of living creatures. And it doesnt stop there. “The long-term survival of the Great Barrier Reef
