It's hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool's Day. On April 1 each year, people play tricks on each other. These tricks are usually silly rather than mean. Classmates sometimes tie each other's shoelaces to their chairs.Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that scares students before they realize it's only a joke. Newspapers announce fake(假的) contests (such as "Win an elephant!") and report on fake stories (like "UFO" lands in New York City).

Forget gifts, songs and special foods—those are for the other holidays of the year. On April Fool's Day, the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cause a little bit of trouble).

One April Fool's Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers. They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria. The chickens ran all round the school, in and out of classrooms and under our feet. Feathers were flying everywhere.

Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them. Finally, they caught four of them. But the chickens were wearing numbered tags (商標(biāo)) around their necks, and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens No.1, 2, 3, and 5.Where was chicken No.4? The teachers looked and looked. They couldn't find another chicken. After a few hours, they realized that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place! They've been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.

It's been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool's Day remains one of my favorite memories from those years.

1.What can we infer from the first paragraph on April Fool's Day?

A. Everyone is hard to avoid being fooled on April Fool's Day.

B. Students play jokes on teachers on April Fool's Day.

C. Teachers play tricks on students on April Fool's Day.

D. Newspapers often cheat people.

2.Why did students set chickens free?

A. They wanted to let chickens free.

B. They wanted to let chickens run all round the school.

C. They wanted to see feathers flying.

D. They wanted to play a trick on teachers.

3.How many jokes did the students play on teachers?

A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.

4.What's the title of the passage?

A. An unforgettable April Fool's Day

B. April Fool's Day

C. The origin of April Fool's Day

If you look at the night sky, you’ll often see stars moving very quickly. In fact, they move much more quickly than they should according to their size and the laws of physics.

Scientists do not completely understand why the speed of these stars is so high. But many believe the reason is that much of the universe is made of something called “dark matter”. Groups of stars called galaxies, such as the Milky Way, might even be made up of 90 percent dark matter.

How much something weighs depends on where it is. The same object weighs only half as much on Mars as it does on Earth and almost three times as much on Jupiter. So scientists prefer to talk about the mass (質(zhì)量) of something rather than how much it weighs, because mass does not change. They can work out the mass of galaxies by measuring the distance between them and the speed they move at.

Recently, Jorge Pe?arrubia, a senior academic at Edinburgh University, UK, and his team discovered something interesting: The mass of the Milky Way is only half as much as the mass of another nearby galaxy, Andromeda. This seems strange, and dark matter may explain why.

Finding out more about dark matter could help us understand how the universe began, but this is not easy. Lots of scientists with different types of expert knowledge are working on the problem.

We can’t see dark matter, it’s very difficult to measure and we can’t find out its mass. Unlike stars, dark matter doesn’t produce or reflect light. But we can make a good guess that it is there because of the way things move and the way light bends. Experts now think dark matter may be very different from the matter that we find on Earth. There may also be five times as much dark matter in the universe as ordinary matter.

1.Something that weighs 15kg on Earth weighs about ________ on Mars and ________ on Jupiter.

A. 7.5 kg, 45 kgB. 30 kg, 45 kgC. 45 kg, 7.5 kgD. 5 kg, 30 kg

2.The author mentions the masses of the Milky Way and Andromeda mainly to ________.

A. explain why the same object has a different weight on different stars

B. compare the distance between the Milky Way and Andromeda

C. show that studying dark matter could help to answer some scientific questions

D. support the idea that scientists prefer to talk about mass instead of weight

3.Dark matter is difficult to investigate because ________.

A. it travels at a very fast speed

B. we can’t see where it is or measure its mass

C. it’s hard to measure the light it produces and reflects

D. it is much bigger than ordinary matter in size

4.According to the text, dark matter ________.

A. could accelerate the speed of stars

B. could lessen the mass of objects in galaxies

C. makes up the entire universe and its stars

D. may help us identify the origins of the universe

Why is volunteering important?

3.“They always tell me how great we sound and how they wish they had taken time to learn an instrument in their youth.”

Creating connections with people

4.Not only does the volunteer work you do show who you are as a person, but it reflects many positive qualities that possibly employers and admission officers want to see. Volunteering allows you to meet a wide variety of people from all sorts of walks of life.

5.

Volunteering isn’t one of the most attractive jobs, but it is one of the most beneficial and up lifting(令人振奮的). It’s taking some time out of your day and helping others. Volunteer work makes us feel good. It builds self-confidence and lifts up the spirits.

A college student has turned the act of telling someone off into an art form. Lama Ali, who attend school in Virginia, had three final assignments due on the same day for her fashion drawing class. Exhausted after working on painting for seven hours straight, the 20-year-old decided to include a message in American Sign Language to her professor:

When your drawing teacher assigns 3 finals so you secretly write “you got me fucked up” in sign language on your final piece.

——Shawty Arabia(@LemAli23) December 7,2016

“You got me fucked up,” a bunch of hands in the painting spell out in ASL, in a form of sign known as finger spelling(聾啞字母表), which uses signs for each letter, rather than for the words themselves.

“Honestly the idea just came to me while I was finishing up the piece,” Ali told The Huffington Post.” I was looking at it and thought, ‘This could really use something else’. And then the idea struck me: Why not secretly express how I was feeling while struggling at the library at 4 a. m.?”

Once the fashion design major had finished her masterpiece, she posted it to Twitter on Dec. 7, where it has received over 113,000likes and 48,000 retweets (轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)).

Ali, who does not know ASL, told HuffPost she taught herself a little bit just for this particular assignment.

“You know it’s bad when you have to learn a whole other language to express how done you are,” she said. “I remembered seeing a post on Tumblr long ago with a similar phrase by the post, she decided to look up the letters in ASL to spell out the message. Someone on Twitter even did the good work of circling them in the painting.

Ali told HuffPost that when she finally presented the piece to her professor in her class, he absolutely loved it.

“Most of my friends in class actually knew about the secret message, so I was really surprised when no one laughed or blew my cover during critique(評(píng)論).” She also admits that her professor still doesn’t know about the message, despite her post getting so much attention.

1.Which of the following is closest in meaning to “You got me fucked up”?

A. I was greatly astonished.

B. You really worn me out.

C. I felt much appreciated.

D. You left me impressed.

2.What was it that gave Ali the inspiration to use ASL to express her feeling?

A. Her professor’s assignment.

B. Being too exhausted.

C. A post on Tumblr with ASL.

D. Her classmates’ encouragement.

3.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Her professor is not so clever as her classmates.

B. Her professor pretended not to understand.

C. Her professor is still in the dark about the message.

D. Her professor had been informed by her classmates.

4.How did Ali know about American Sign Language?

A. She learned it in middle school.

B. She majored in it at college.

C. She taught herself when prepared for the assignment.

D. Someone taught her on Twitter.
