    April Fool's Day is a western festival. No one 1 exactly when and how April Fool's Day began. However, there are some stories about2 it came into being. One story3 like this: in the sixteenth­century France, the start of the new year was on April first. It was celebrated 4much the same way 5 it is today with parties and dancing into the late hours of the night.

    Then in 1562, Pope (教皇) Gregory introduced a new calendar for the Christian world, and the new year fell on January first. There were some people,6 who hadn't heard or didn't believe the 7 in the date, so they8 to celebrate New Year's Day on April first.9played tricks on them and called them "April fools". They tried to make them believe that something false was10. In France today, April first is called "April Fish". Frenchchildren fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends' 11. When the "young fool"12this trick, the prankster (恶作剧者) shouts "April Fish!"

School children might tell a classmate that school has been canceled (取消).15the trick is, if you fail for the joke the prankster shouts "April Fool!"

    In Britain today, on the first of April, even 16newspapers, radio and TV programs tell big lies. You17 read a science18 showing that doctors have found a way to cure (治愈) AIDS, 19you would probably listen to a piece of news about a UFO20on an island.

Bio-robots are robots that look like animals. They can fly like birds, swim like fish or move like insects. They are helping researchers learn more about how animals live. 

● Bat (蝙蝠) robot

Bat flight is not simple. Its body parts fold and unfold with every wing beat. The force comes from its strong but thin wings. If you want to make a flying robot, said Science Focus, don't copy bats. 

But that's what researchers did in the US. B2 is a robot made to understand bat flight. It has very thin wings. Can it fly like a bat? Yes! B2 moves its wings and does sharp dives and turns, just like a real bat! 

They hope to make even better robot bats in the future. 

● Guppy (孔雀鱼) robot

Some people think fish are stupid, but there are still many things we can learn about them. 

German researchers now use a robotic fish to better understand group behavior in guppies. The team put a 3D-printed guppy under the fish tank. It copied the speed and direction of a fish partner, who thought the printed guppy was real. 

Researchers learned that swimming speed is important to guppies. When they swim faster, they swim better together. 

● Cockroach (蟑螂) robot

It has four legs instead of six, but this 4.5-centimeter-long cockroach robot can walk and climb walls just like real cockroaches. 

The 1.5-gram robot was made for Rolls-Royce. The engine-maker wants tiny robots to look around inside airplane engines (引擎) because humans can't go there. To meet their needs, engineers thought about cockroaches' sticky feet. 

The robot uses electricity to stick to walls. Engineers tested it inside an airplane engine. It stuck on better than a real insect, according to Science Focus.

 阅读下面文章,然后从文后所给的A--D四个选项中选择正确的小标题,将其序号填入小题,并回答第35题。

Reading can broaden(拓宽)my mind and improve my language skills. Of course, it can also help me to get good grades. Do you know how to read more and learn more?

Here are some tips for you. 

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Before you start reading, ask yourself why you are reading this book. Most people read for two main reasons, pleasure or knowledge. Clearing about your reading purpose can not only help you choose the books you really need to read, but also remind you why reading the book is important to you. 

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}No matter what you are reading, it is important to enjoy what you read. Your friends may tell you the books they love, but those books might not necessarily be the ones you enjoy. 

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}You may have chosen the books that you are interested in, and they are right to your purpose(目的). But while you are reading them, there may still be some books that you don't enjoy reading. Whenever you realize that you aren't enjoying the book you are reading, give it up. 

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}It is interesting that I read the books borrowed from libraries faster than those I bought. The reason is the books I bought don't have a due date(到期日)! I don't need to return those books. Having a reading goal(目标) helps you work out how much reading you need to do in a week or even a day. 

A. Set a reading goal at first. 

B. Read only what you are interested in. 

C. Give up the books that you don't enjoy. 

D. Clear the reasons for reading. 

E. Borrow some books from the library. 

The passage mainly gives some advice on how to{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. 

A. choose good books    B. have a good eating habit    C. read and learn more    D. make good relationships
