Classmates sometimes tie each others shoelaces (鞋带) to their chairs. Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that makes students feel scared before they realize its only a joke. Newspapers report on fake news (like UFO lands in New York City) and announce fake contests (such as Win an elephant!).One April Fools Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers. They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria(自助餐厅). The chickens ran all around the school, in and out of classrooms and under our feet. Feathers (羽毛) were flying everywhere. Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them. Finally, they caught four of them. But the chickens were wearing numbered tags(标签) around their necks, and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens No. 1, 2, 3 and 5. Where was chicken No. 4? The teachers looked and looked. They couldnt find another chicken. After a few hours, they realized that the students had played another joke on them. There were only four chickens in the first place! They had been tricked by the numbers on the chickens. Its been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fools Day remains one of my favorite memories from those years.（1）What can we infer from the first paragraph of the passage? A .

Shandong has a long history of kite making. Over 2,000 years ago, a man named Gongshu Ban from Shangdong invented a kite. It was made of bamboo. In the following centuries, kite making developed well in China. The first Weifang International Kite Festival was celebrated in 1984. In 1983, chairman of the Seattle Kite Association David Checkley took part in a kite show in Shanghai and later he visited several kite manufacturers (制造商). He found that kites made in Weifang were the best. He suggested that an international event take place there. So Weifang began to hold it in April every year. At the fifth festival, Weifang became known as the kite capital of the world. Today, Weifang is home to over 300 kite factories. Their products are sold to over 40 countries and areas, making up 85% of the domestic (国内的) market and 65% of the world market. However, there are also some problems.
