31、the hope of getting a good laugh and making one feel like a fool. April Fool's Day started in the sixteenth century in Europe. Before that time, New Year's Day was celebrated on April 1st. Then a new calendar called the Gregorian calendar was introduced. January 1st became the first day of t

32、he year, but many people didn't know about it. So those who continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1st were teased. They were called fools. Nowadays we play jokes on people on April 1st. For example, someone might put salt in the sugar bottle so another person could put it in his cof

33、fee "by accident". Or someone might change the time on another person's alarm clock so that that person would unknowingly wake up earlier or later than planned. Or maybe a person would tell a lie to make someone else shocked. After we play the trick, we say "April Fools". The

37、. What to Do: Use string to hang a paper clip or other small object at about chest胸部 level. Pick up a stick, such as a broom handle. Take three or four steps away from the paper clip. Now close one eye and walk toward the paper clip. Try to touch it with the tip of the stick. If you miss, try again,

38、 still keeping one eye closed. Now try it with both eyes open and see if it's easier to do. How it works: In the experiment, you have to judge how far away the paper clip is. Your brain has several ways of doing this. One simple way depends on how much your eye has to focus聚焦 itself. Using only

39、one eye, most people will find it difficult to touch the paper clip on the first try, but the brain still gets some information about distancethough not much. Your brain can judge distance much better when you look at something with both eyes. In fact, your brain has more than one way to use both ey

40、es in judging distance. For example, to see anything clearly, you have to make both of your eyes point at the object. When you look at a nearby object, your eyes turn inward. You can feel this happening if you look at the tip of your finger and move your finger toward your nose. Your brain gets info

41、rmation from the eyes about how much they are pointing toward each other. Using that information, the brain can tell how far away any object is, whether it is a basketball or a paper clip.88. How many materials do we need at least to do the experiment?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.89. The passage

42、is mainly about that with eyes our brain can judge  .A. how big an object isB. how high an object isC. how far away an object isD. how much information an object is90. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Our brain judges distance in one way when we use both eyes.B. Our br

44、y as we use two eyesB. our eyes turn towards the inside when we look at an object very nearC. within 3 or 4 steps, the nearer an object is, the more clearly we can see itD. our brain can hardly get any information about distance when we use one eyeD Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close

45、to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend. No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well. That doesn&

46、#39;t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up 和解 and go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. It is possible that we will even see them again. And we can make new frie

47、nds. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think

48、of these people when we go to these places. There's more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don't. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you tak
