　　Montreal—he may be the world's richestman, but that did not prevent Bill Gates from falling for an April Fool's Day joke by two Quebec radio comics(喜剧演员) pretending to be Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien.

　　Montreal French-language station CKMF-FM said last Wednesday that staffers (工作人员) Marcantoine Audet and Sebastien Trudel had a 10-minute chat with Microsoft Corp boss Gates on April 1.

　　The broadcast was aired on their nightly show last Tuesday and repeated last Wednesday.

　　“We were happy. We had been calling Microsoft continuously for four weeks,”Trudel said.

　　Trudel said he and his colleague had already fooled Canadian pop singer Celine Dion and Formula One(一级方程赛车) driver Jacques Villeneuve on their show.

　　“This time, we wanted to give ourselves a challenge with somebody more difficult to reach,”Trudel said.

　　He said he was surprised that Gates' aides(助手) did not check to see if it was really the prime minister's office on the line.

　　Trudel said they imitated (模仿) Chretien's heavily-accented English, talking about the economy, asking about Microsoft's Windows operating system and inviting the multibillionaire to visit a well-known Montreal strip joint(运动服合资企业).

　　The radio host said that Gates was not amused by the fake interview.“He did not seem angry but he did not find it so funny.”the comic said.

Answer 1

答案：B;D;C;B
解析：

1．B　　导解：本文讲述Bill Gates在愚人节这一天被两个喜剧演员捉弄的轶闻。从短文可知，两个演员在愚人节这一天捉弄他，而他的助手没有上网查询，这些都不是其原因，真正的原因是这两个人模仿总理的声音太像了，他们模仿总理方音很重的英语，成功地策划一个冒牌采访。 　　2．D　　导解：从短文可知，这两个演员除了让Gates上当，还同样戏弄了加拿大歌手和F1车手，可见选D．至于A，文中说“我们原以为Gates很难对付”，结果让自己大吃一惊，可见A不对。 　　3．C　　导解：文中提到他们成功地捉弄了歌手A和一级方程车手D，模仿总理（C）的声音让Bill Gates（B）上当，并没有说捉弄了加拿大总理克里蒂安。 　　4．B　　导解：全文讲述的中心是Bill Gates受愚弄及事情的来龙去脉，而不是两个演员的tricks（太泛，有点偏）。
