阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The first of April is commonly known as April Fools’ Day, and it is customarily on this day to play a trick on a friend. If your friend falls into the trap, then he or she is an April Fool.It isn’t only children that like such jokes. Grownups like such pranks, too.
Even the media occasionally try to deceive the public with a clever April Fool story. Some years ago, for example, a famous joke was played on the radio. A scientific correspondent reported that strange geological changes had resulted in weaker gravity in different parts of Britain. He asked listeners to jump up and down and see if they could jump higher than they normally could. Many people did. The hundreds of calls the BBC received proved how successful the hoax was.
Not until twelve o’clock did the BBC gently remind its listeners it was April Fools’ Day that day. Making jokes only lasts until the noon of the day, the rule is rigid and everywhere acknowledged. Anyone who tries to make a fool after midday is a bigger fool than he who has been fooled.
When did April Fool this custom start? According to a well-researched story of the origin of the day, it was started in 1545 by a rather unfortunate accident. A Norwegian scientist, Loof Lirpa, was staying in London, where he was trying to find the secret of how to fly.
It seems that scientist’s experiments were successful: King Henry VIII received a letter from Mr. Lirpa, in which he announced that he had finally solved the secret of flight. He asked the king to be present at a demonstration flight at Westminster on April 1. So the king and the leading politicians of the day stood ouside the Palace of Westminster on April 1, and waited for Mr. Lirpa to come flying past. But nothing happened-- and it became the tradition afterwards to play tricks on people in the same way on this day.
However, evidence proved later that Loof Lirpa was not playing a trick: he was in fact telling the truth. He had learnt how to fly-- the reason that he didn’t appear at Westminster was that his flying-machine had crashed into a tree, and he had been killed.It was a tragedy for science. The scientist, unfortu-nately, was very secretive. When he died, the secret died with him.
Actually ,”Loof Lirpa” wasn’t his real name .If you say the two words backwards, you’ll find out what his name really was – April Fool.
56.What can you do on April Fool’s Day ?
A.Laugh at anyone.
B.cheat anyone as you like.
C.Treat your friends as fools.
D.Play jokes on your friends .
57.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Making jokes can last until the afternoon of that day .
B.No one called the BBC to say how high they jumped .
C.You’ll be a bigger fool if you are fooled after midday of that day .
D.Not only children but also grown-ups like such jokes.
58.From the passage,we can learn that April Fool’s Day was started by __________.
A.a fairy tale B.an unfortunate accident
C.a traditional festival D.a legal holiday
59.Loofah Lirpa didn’t appear at Westminster because __________.
A.he had played a trick on the king.
B.he hadn’t learn how to fly the machine
C.he hadn’t solved the secret of flight
D.he had had an accident an had been killed

Do you like to eat out Do you like to eat quickly Do you like inexpensive food Some people go to fastfood restaurants for these reasons.In the past,people usually went to diners or these reasons.In fact,many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.
A man named Walter Scott had the first"diner''in 1872.It wasn't really a diner.It was only a food cart.People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food.These carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and all late-night meal.The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs.In 1887,Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside.However,they did not sit down.Later,people built diners with counters and stools,and people sat down while they ate.
Before long,many diners stayed open around the clock.In other words , people were able to eat in a diner at any time.Diners changed in other ways,too.The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger.it included soup,favorite dish,and a breakfast menu.In addition,diners soon became permanent buildings.They were no longer carts on wheels.
Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s.They are usually buildings with large windows.Inside,the diners have shining counters with stools,booths(小间),and tables and chairs.People can eat all three meals in a modern diner.
Today,many people eat in fast
