Unit12Lifeisfulloftheunexpected.愚人节来历每年的4月1日是西方国家的民间节日—愚人节（AprilFool’sDay）。在AprilFool’sDay这天，人们尽可以发挥自己丰富的想像力去哄骗、取笑、愚弄别人。愚人节还有个规矩，就是骗人一般只限于上午。中午一过，就不再开玩笑愚弄别人了。最为流行的说法是AprilFool’sDay起源于法国。1564年，法国首先采用新的记年法，把1月1日作为一年之始。但一些因循守旧的人依然按照旧历固执地在4月1日这一天庆祝新年。主张改革的人对这些守旧者大加嘲弄，在4月1日那天送他们假礼品，邀请他们参加假招待会，并把上当受骗的保守分子称为“四月傻瓜”或“上钩的鱼”。从此，人们在4月1日互相愚弄，便成为法国流行的风俗。18世纪初，愚人节习俗传到英国，接着又被英国的早期移民带到了美国。如今，愚人节已成了国际性的节日。AprilFool’sDay愚人节isatraditionaldaytoplayjokesonothers.Heisfooledbythebird.Discussion2bParagraph1WhenPara2ReadPara2andfinishthechartsaboutthehoaxes.WhydidthesupermarketsrunoutofspaghettioneAprilFool’sDay?BecauseareporterannouncedthattherewouldbenomorespaghettiasspaghettifarmersinItalyhadstoppedgrowingspaghetti.WhatdidtheTVshowsaythatthespecialwatercoulddo?Itwassaidthatthespecialwaterwouldhelppeopleloseweight.3.Whatcanwelearnfromthetwotricks?A.Everycoinhastwosides.B.Thinkcarefullybeforeyouact.C.Rumorswouldstopawiseman.ReadPara3andfinishthechartsaboutthehoax.Becausehehurtthegirl.Loveisathingthatshouldn’tbeusedtoplayasajoke.ReadPara4andfinishthechartsaboutthehoax.ReadPara4andanswerthisquestion?.Acorrdingtothepassage,whichfollowingsentenceistrue?()A.Itwastruethealienshadlandedontheearth.B.Peopledidn’tfearwhentheyheardthestory.C.Althoughthestorywasahoax,somanypeoplehadlefttheirhomes.TimeInvite,celebrate,end,marry,one,cancel,however,be,onFillintheblankswiththecorrectformsoftheverbsinbrackets.Hoax1hoax还可作可数名词，意为“骗局；戏弄；恶作剧。”如：Theywerethevictimsofacruelhoax.他们是一个残忍恶作剧的受害者。Hedeniedmakingthehoaxcallbutwasconvictedafterashorttrial.他否认打过恶作剧电话，但经过一番短暂的审讯后被判有罪。（2）soldout是sellout的过去式和过去分词形式。sellout意为“卖光，脱销”。如：Alltheticketsforthelastperformancehavesoldoutalready.最近一场演出的票已经全部卖光。Sevenimpressionsofthenovelhavebeensoldout.这本小说印了七次都卖光了。用所给词的正确形式填空。1.Theygot_________(marry)10yearsago.2.Stars___________(appear)inthedayandappearatnight.3.Thestoryisn't___________(believe).4.Helikesthefilmswithahappy________(end).5.Peoplehavesomenew____________(discover)everyday.Languagepoints辨析2.IthappensonApril1steveryyearan
