Reading 3a The second story about April Fool’s Day is the most believable. I have a similar experience. A few years ago, it was said there would be a big earthquake in our area. So people tried to buy as much food as possible such as vegetables and bean oil. Suddenly things became expensive. And it was hard to buy articles for daily use. But at last there was no earthquake at all and foods were sold out in shops and supermarkets. In 1938, a radio program by actor Orson Welles announced that aliens from Mars had landed on the Earth. 在1938年，一个由演员奥森·威尔斯主持的广播节目宣布，来自火星的外星人已经登陆地球。 He described where they had landed and told how they were moving across the United States. 他描述了他们在什么地方登陆,并告诉人们他们正在怎样席卷美国。 Welles was so convincing that hundreds of people believed the story, and panic set off across the whole country. By the time the authorities revealed that the story was a hoax, thousands of people had field from their homes. 威尔斯的话如此有说服力，以至于有数百人相信了这个故事，所以全国到处一片惊慌。待到权威机构揭露这个故事是个骗局时已经有数千人逃离了自己的家园。 One April Fool’s Day, a person in England announced that there would be no more spaghetti because the spaghetti farmers in Italy had stopped growing spaghetti. 一次愚人节时，一位美国记者宣布，后不会再有意大利式细面条可以吃了， 因为意大利的农民已经停止种植生产细面条的植物。 Many people ran to their local supermarket to buy as much spaghetti as they could. 许多人跑到他们当地的超市去尽可能多的购买意大利式细面条。 By the time people realized that the story was a hoax, all of the spaghetti across the country had been sold out. 等到人们意识到那个故事是个骗局时, 全国的意大利式细面条都被卖光了。 A famous TV star once invited his girlfriend onto his show on April Fool’s Day. 一次，一位著名的电视明星邀请他的女友去参加愚人节的演出。 He ask her to marry him. She was thrilled, because she really wanted to get married. 他请求她嫁给他。 她非常激动，因为她真的很想结婚。 However, when she said “Yes”, he replied “April Fool!” That little joke didn’t have a very happy ending.
