April F'ool's Day is on the first day of April. The sport of the holiday is to play silly but harmless jokes on family members, co-workers, and  friends. A victim（受害者）of one of these pranks（恶作剧） is called an April fool.  If one succeeds in tricking someone, one laughs and says "April Fool", and then the person who has been tricked usually laughs, too. This holiday originated（起源）in France. When the French first adopted（采用）the Gregorian calendar（日历）in 1564, some people continued to use the old calendar to celebrate New Year's Day on April lst. These people were called April Fools. The custom of playing tricks on this day became popular in France and then spread to many other countries. Here are some typical pranks:     Telling somebody to call the zoo and speak to Mr Fox.     Putting salt in the sugar bowl.     Setting the clock back an hour.     Saying to friends, "Oh, my God! You have four holes in your coat-button holes!"     Tying a string to a wallet and leaving the wallet in the middle of the side walk. When someone stops to pick it up, the pranker yanks（猛拉）it out of reach.  In the United States today, April Fool's jokes are mostly played by children, who enjoy the holiday very much.

据专家权威分析，试题“阅读理解。April F'ool's Day is on the first day of April...”主要考查你对  历史文化类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：

历史文化类阅读

考点名称：历史文化类阅读

• 历史文化类阅读：
  本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议，所以要把握其议才是主要方面。
  阅读这类文章，先弄清其引入的话题，再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法，然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。

• 初中英语阅读理解的解题技巧：
  一、要注意养成良好的阅读心理，阅读时要去掉杂念，心绪要安定，精神要专一，要形成一种惬意的顺向心理。
  切不可一遇到几个生词难句，就心烦意乱，失去自控能力。心理学家告诉我们，任何恐慌，过分紧张的情绪都会形成一种消极因素妨碍大脑的正常思维功能。
  因此，遇到困难一定要从容不迫，心无旁骛。这样才能对所读的文章印象清晰，理解深刻。
  
  二、要提高视读的速度，考阅读理解，从另一个方面来说，考的是考试速度。因此做阅读理解时，要注意培养自己快速阅读的习惯。
  切不可在个别难懂的词句上磨蹭，只要全篇理解了，个别难懂的词句可以根据上下文和构词法去猜测，去推断。
  
  三、对文章的评价分析，一定要坚持“词不离句，句不离篇”，要理解文章作者的原意，而不能按你自己的意愿去想当然。
  切记：一想当然，就会出错。
