People celebrated the New Year in the same way as it is today. They held parties and danced into the late night.Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar into the Christain(基督的）world, and the new year fell on January 1. Some people didnt believe the change in the date,so they celebrated the New Year on April 1. Others played tricks on them and called them “April fools”.Today Americans play small tricks on friends on the first day of April. One common trick on April Fools Day is pointing down to a friends shoe and saying “Your shoelace is untied.” School children like to tell a classmate that there are no classes. Then if someone believes the trick, he or she will be called the “April Fool”!People play tricks on each other only because they want to enjoy themselves together. Most jokes are really funny, and people play jokes not to hurt anyone, but to find happiness.26 .

For learning English pronunciation(发音), Mr. Joe thinks songs are the most useful way to learn. At the same time, you can learn some new words and phrases while singing songs. Mr. Joe has used songs to help himself learn French, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese. You should do the same.Some words used in songs are not everyday English, so you have to be careful how you use song lyrics（歌词）when you speak. Most words and sentences are very useful. You dont have to sing songs aloud if you are shy, but after learning a song you should be able to follow the words without looking at the lyrics. When you can do that, you have learned something that you will never forget!Some good songs to listen to are from the Beatles, John Denver and the Carpenters. Their songs are not too fast and the lyrics are close to normal spoken English. Just for fun, you can try Mr. Joes favorite singer, B.B. King. His songs are not easy at all! If you can understand even 80% of Why I Sing the Blues, you are a very_student.If you become good at singing English songs, you can try to go to karaoke and sing with your friends.

I could tell he was riding a little slower than me and I decided to try to catch up with him. I had about a kilometer to go on the road before turning off.I started riding faster and faster and with every block (街区). After a few minutes I was only about 100 meters behind him, so I really picked up the pace (速度) and tried my best.Finally, I caught up with him and passed him. On the inside, I felt so good. I “beat him”, but he didnt even know we were racing.After I passed him, I found that I had missed my turn, had gone six blocks past it and had to turn around and go all the way back.Isnt that what happens in life when we race with others, trying to outdo them or trying to show that we are more successful or more important? We spend our time and energy chasing after them and we miss out on our own way.The problem with unhealthy competition is that its a never-ending cycle. There will always be somebody ahead of you in one way or another. What you should do is just run your own race and wish others well. Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.33 .
