Unlike most other holidays,the history of April Fools’ Day.Sometimes called All Fools’ Day,is not totally clear.The only point in time that can be agreed on as the beginning of this tradition was 1582,in France.Before that year,the New Year was celebrated for eight days,beginning on March 25.The celebration reached the highest point on April 1.With the reform of the calendar under Charles 1X,the the Gregorian calendar(公历，阳历）was introduced,and New Year’s Day was moved to January 1.

However,because in those days communications were not as developed as they are today,many people did not receive the news for several years.Some people refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1.These backward people were considered”fools” by other people.They were often sent on “fools” errands（徒劳无益的工作）or were made the targets of jokes.

This developed,over time,into a tradition of playing a trick on someone on the first day of April.The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century.It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the Britain and France.April Fools’ Day thus developed into an international fun feast,so to speak,with different nationalities specializing in their own kind of humor at the expense of their friends and families.

I always felt sorry for the people in wheelchairs. Some people, old and weak, cannot get around by themselves. Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits. But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability, not a person.

Then I fainted (晕倒) at Euro Disney due to low blood pressure. This was the first time I had ever fainted, and my parents said that I must rest for a while after First Aid. I agreed to take it easy but, as I stepped towards the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction. Feeling color burn my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he found it.

I could not believe this was happening to me. Wheelchairs were fine for other people but not for me, as my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me differently.

Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to stop the wheelchair suddenly. Bitterness set in as I was thrown back and forth. “Stupid kids… they have perfectly good legs. Why can’t they watch where they are going?” I thought. People stared down at me, with pity in their eyes. Then they would look away, maybe because they thought the sooner they forgot me the better.

“I’m just like you!” I wanted to scream. “The only difference is you’ve got legs, and I have wheels.”

People in wheelchair are not stupid. They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the faces, I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated. I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled.

A. life is the best teacher

B. people often eat their bitter fruit

C. life is so changeable that nobody can predict

D. one should never does to others what he would not like others do to him

4.Which is the best title for this passage?

A. How to Get Used to Wheelchairs

B. Wheelchairs Are as Good as Two Legs

C. People with Two Legs Are Truly Healthy

D. The Difference Between Healthy People and the Disabled

Many years ago, on a winter morning, Lily, our only daughter, sat quietly, all her heart put into her work. Every once in a while she would ask how to spell the name of someone in our family, and then painstakingly(费力地) formed the letters one by one. Next, she added flowers and green grass at the bottom of each page with a sun in the upper right corner, surrounded by the blue sky. Holding them at eye level, she was satisfied.

“What are you making, honey?” I asked.

“It’s a surprise,” she said, covering up her work with her hands.

It wasn’t until later that evening that I noticed the “mailboxes” fastened to the door of each of our bedrooms. There was one for Edward, one for Tom. She hadn’t forgotten Peter and baby Paul.

For the next few weeks, we received mail regularly. There were little notes showing her love for each of us and short letters full of tiny things that only a seven-year-old child would notice. I was in charge of retrieving baby Paul’s letters, page after page of colored scenes, including flowers with happy faces.

“He can’t read yet,” she said, “but he can look at the pictures.”

This little girl grows up now, but something about her has never changed. One morning only a week or so ago, I found a love note next to my pillow.

“Thanks for always being there for me, Mum,” it read, “I’m glad that we are best friends,”

I couldn’t help but remember that she has brought me countless hours of joy throughout these years. There are angels among us. I know, I live with one.

D. To describe the angel living with her all her life.

Machu Picchu is an unusual site in Peru and one of the most mysterious wonders of the world. Built at almost 10,000 feet on the top of an Andean mountain, the Incas built hundreds of structures made of stone. A large number of Machu Picchu’s surrounding structures date back to the early 13th century, but it was considered a chief sacred site far before then. The Inca people changed the large site into a very small but wonderful city, completely self-sufficient and hidden from below. Agricultural terraces (梯田) surrounded the entire city, fed by natural spring water, supporting the entire population.

Inca Trail

The trail is one of the most famous in the world and regarded as one of the best. It covers only 26 miles, combining cloud forest, green mountain scenery, forest, and plenty of tunnels, paving stones, and ruins. The four-day hike begins slowly but quickly changes into a difficult journey suitable for those in excellent shape. The trail winds through the Andes, leading alongside and through ruins. Though independent hiking was once permitted, now it must be done with a guide.

Funerary Rock

It is believed that the Funerary Rock at Machu Picchu was used as a place to prepare Inca nobles for preservation, or mummifying (做成木乃伊), a common habit among the tribe. Nobles would be laid out to be mummified by the hot sun and freezing cold nights after their organs were removed. The rock is also famous as a spot from which a view of the city is afforded.

Temple of the Sun

Within the city’s castle, deep within Machu Picchu, is the Temple of the Sun, accessed only by the Emperor and

Inca priests. It means the Inca’s advanced knowledge of religion, weather, and nature, showing the great extent

Incas went to adapt to and learn about nature. Still unbroken, the temple was built to honor the god Inti, who is exactly the sun. The temple was effectively protected. It was also a very important scientific center, built in half-moon shape with openings facing north and east. The windows’ shadows in the center of the temple helped see the start of winter solstice (至日), showing farming season.

1.What do we know about the Inca Trail?

A. The scene is very beautiful along the trail.

B. One person alone is permitted to hike on the trail.

C. Only healthy people can do the four-day hike trail.

D. The trail covers a distance of 80 miles in all.

A. Incas had a good knowledge of math

B. Incas are rich in farming experiences

C. Inca had a desire to go to the moon

D. Incas adapted and learned about nature
