Question

【题目】Mr. Lee was in bed and was trying to go to sleep when he heard the bell ring. He turned on the light and looked at his clock. It was twelve o'clock. "Who can it be at this time of night?" He thought. He decided to go and find out. So he got off bed, put on his dressing gown(浴袍) and went to the door. When he opened the door, there was nobody there. "That is very strange." Then he went back to his bedroom, took off his dressing gown, got back into bed, turned off the light and tried to go to sleep.

A few minutes later he heard the bell again. Mr. Lee jumped out of bed very quickly and rushed to the door. He opened it, but again he found no one there. He closed the door and tried not to feel angry. Then he saw a piece of paper on the floor. He picked it up. There were some words on it: "It is now after midnight(午夜), so it is April Fool's Day (愚人节). April Fool!"

"Oh, it was the English boy next door!" Mr. Lee exclaimed(惊叫) and almost smiled. He went back to bed and fell asleep at once. The bell did not ring again.

【解析】本文主要讲述了愚人节那天，住在李先生隔壁的一个英国男孩和李先生开玩笑的一个故事。从中我们可以了解到在愚人节那一天我们能互相开玩笑。。李先生正躺在床上，正想睡觉，这时他听到铃声响了。他打开灯，看了看闹钟。现在是十二点。”今晚的这个时候会是谁？”他想。他决定去找出答案。于是他下了床，穿上睡衣，走到门口。他打开门时，那里一个人也没有。“那很奇怪。”然后他回到卧室，脱下睡衣，回到床上，关上灯，想睡觉。几分钟后，他又听到了铃声。李先生很快从床上跳起来，冲到门口。他打开了它，但他再也没有找到任何人。他关上门，尽量不生气。然后他看到地板上有一张纸。他把它捡起来了。上面有几个字：“现在是午夜过后，现在是愚人节。愚人节的傻瓜！“哦，是隔壁的英国男孩！”李先生惊呼道，几乎笑了出来。他回到床上，立刻睡着了。铃不再响了。
