阅读理解

    "I just gave birth to 5 babies last weekend." Isn't that exciting? Oh, you don't believe me? "Okay then, I stole some money from a bank on Saturday night." Now do you believe me? Actually, I hope you don't. April 1st, or April Fool's Day is the day when we play jokes on people. Do you have it in your country?

    April Fool's Day started in the sixteenth century in Europe. Before that time, New Year's Day was celebrated on April 1st. If they were teased, they were called fools.

    Nowadays we play jokes on people on April 1st. For example, someone might put salt in the sugar bottle, so another person could put it in his coffee "by accident". Or someone might change the time on another person's alarm clock so that the person would unknowingly wake up earlier or later than planned. Or maybe a person would tell a lie to make someone else shocked.

    After we play the trick, we say "April Fool". Then the poor person realizes he has been fooled. It is generally done in the spirit of fun and doesn't cause any real harm to anyone. Do you have any great jokes to play on anyone? Try it out.

(1)、Before the sixteenth century, New Year's Day was on _______.

(3)、Sometimes people lie to shock someone on_______.
A、New Year's Day B、Christmas Day C、April Fool's Day D、Thanks giving Day
(4)、In the 2nd paragraph, the closest meaning of the underlined word "teased" is in English.
A、hit B、criticized C、laughed at D、shocked
(5)、What should be the right attitude(态度) towards "April Fool"?

 阅读下面短文,根据其内容填空和回答问题。(34至37题每题答案不超过3个单词,38题须用完整句子回答。)

Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork. It can make you confident when you are studying. But unluckily, most students don't know how to take notes. 

If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that's great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may focus on lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat them. 

Don't try to write down every word in class, or you might miss some important points. Some students really learn better with the help of these notes. Don't be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you've missed. If your teacher speaks too fast and you can't follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class. Comparing your notes with your classmates' can be good for your learning. It can also help you and your classmates correct some mistakes. 

Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one place, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes. Good note-taking takes time. If you decide to recopy your notes every evening, you'll surely have less time to watch TV. But you'll save time in the coming test.
