AprilFool’sDay又稱AllFools’Day。節(jié)期為4月1日，是從19世紀(jì)開(kāi)始在西方興起流行的民間娛樂(lè)性節(jié)日，并非法定節(jié)日，但社會(huì)影響力卻十分巨大。愚人節(jié)最典型的活動(dòng)還是大家互相開(kāi)玩笑，用假話捉弄對(duì)方。

據(jù)說(shuō)愚人節(jié)這天玩笑只能開(kāi)到中午12點(diǎn)之前，這是約定俗成的嚴(yán)格規(guī)定，過(guò)了鐘點(diǎn)還開(kāi)玩笑的人會(huì)立刻碰釘子，稱為比被他取笑的人還要大的傻瓜。Doyouknow?1.Spaghetti2.SpecialwaterA.SpaghettiB.SpecialwaterStory1Story2ReadPara.2andchooseWhatarethestoriesabout?Para2.
