READING
QUESTIONS 25-32 (0.25 point x 8 questions = 2 points)
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
In the UK, jokes and tricks can be played up until noon on 1 April. After midday it's consid-
ered bad luck to play a trick. Anyone who forgets this and tries a joke in the afternoon becomes an
'April Fool' themselves.
So, what kind of jokes do people play? Well, a simple example would be telling your friend
that their shoelaces are undone. Then, when they bend down to do them up, you shout, 'April
Fool!', and they realise their shoelaces are fine. Maybe it's not your kind of humour, but watch out,
there's always someone who will find it funny! In Ireland, a popular prank is to send someone on a
'fool's errand'. The victim is sent to deliver a letter, supposedly asking for help. When the person
receives the letter, they open it, read it and tell the poor messenger that they will have to take the
letter to another person. This continues and the victim ends up taking the message to several dif-
ferent people until someone feels sorry for them and shows them what the letter says: 'Send the
fool to someone else.'
In France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy and French-speaking areas of Canada and
Switzerland, the 1 April tradition is known as the 'April Fish'. A common joke is to try to stick a
paper fish onto a victim's back without being noticed.
14. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. What people do on April Fool’s Day.
B. Ways to play pranks on people in different countries.
C. Teenagers’ pranks on April Fool’s Day.
D. Tricks to be played on April Fool’s Day in the U.K.
15. What does “stick” mean?
A. move B. cut C. establish D. attach
16. What is the popular prank in Ireland on April Fool’s Day?
A. putting a paper fish on someone’s back.
B. telling someone about undone shoelaces.
C. sending someone to deliver a letter.
D. shouting out “April Fool”.
17. The victim in the Irish prank will stop sending the letter until _______.
A. he fails to find someone B. he opens the letter
C. someone feels sorry for him D. he sends it to 10 persons
18. If we try the April’s jokes in the UK in the afternoon, ________.
A. no one laughs
