28、 To joke around is to have fun with someone. To fool someone is to try to make them believe something that is not true. 【1】
April 1st is known as the day to fool people with practical jokes, pranks or harmless tricks. 【2】 Some say April Fools' Day began as one big mistake.
Many centuries ago, people in the Western world used the Julian calendar. 【3】 However, when people began using the Gregorian calendar, the New Year was moved to January 1st. Those who forgot the change and tried to celebrate New Year's Day on the wrong date were teased and called 'April fools'. This is just one of the many theories behind the origin of April Fools' Day. 【4】
The fool is a common character in art, music and literature. William Shakespeare is famous for his fools. And fools make for great pop songs. Fools are found in many words, expressions and proverbs. To be foolhardy means to do something that are too dangerous or risky. For example, it is foolhardy to hike up a mountain during a heavy snowstorm. If something is foolproof, it is planned or made so well that nothing could go wrong. 【5】
'Look, I don't want to get into trouble. This plan of yours sounds risky. '
'My plan is foolproof. Nothing will go wrong as long as you do exactly as I say. '
A.Not even a fool could mess it up.
B.And that is the purpose of April Fools' Day.
C.They celebrated the New Year on April 1st.
D.Even a smart person can be a fool at times.
E.But the tradition remains the same—to fool someone.
F.Fools also find themselves in many proverbs.
G.But how did this tradition begin?
29、 "Basically,in life,rule of thumb:if you don't absolutely have to clean anything,don't clean it."Fashion designer Stella McCartney said this in an interview with the Observer this weekend.Instead,she says,the"rule"is to"let the dirt dry and you brush it off".
It may have been a throwaway comment at the end of the interview,but something about this line impressed readers—many of whom have been doing several loads of laundry a week.So does she have a point?Is it better to avoid washing your clothes?
This isn't the first time that McCartney has recommended not washing our clothes.In fact,she has long advocated avoiding the washing machine-both for the longevity of the clothes,but also because of the effect washing them has on the environment.
Laura Diáz Sánchez,from the Plastic Soup Foundation advocacy group,agrees with this,particularly when it comes to high-street clothes,which contain more synthetic materials such as polyester(聚酯纤维)and acrylic(腈纶).
"Every time we wash our clothes an average of nine million[plastic]microfibres are released into the environment,"she tells BBC News."The way we wash our clothes affects it,as well as the way our clothes are made-but the more we wash our clothes,the more microfibres are released."
When you do wash,she recommends setting the machine to a lower temperature and using liquid detergent:"Powder detergent creates more friction(摩擦)between the clothes[during washing],so more fibres are released,while liquid is smoother.The less friction there is in general,the fewer fibres are released."
She advises against overloading washing machines for the same reason-fewer clothes in the drum means there's less friction.But it's not just about microfibres.Washing an item of clothing too often can largely shorten its lifespan,meaning that you're more likely to throw it out and buy something new.
【1】Why does McCartney suggest not washing clothes?
A.To buy something more fashionable.
B.To make her interview more interesting.
C.To reduce the impact on the environment.
D.To avoid releasing microfibres.
【2】What does the underlined words"this line"in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.The rule. B.The newspaper.
C.The interview. D.The comment.
【3】According to Laura Diáz Sánchez,what can we do to release less microfibres?
A.Use powder detergent rather than liquid detergent.
B.Wash fewer clothes at a time.
C.Set the washing machine at a normal temperature.
D.Avoid using washing machines.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Why we should stop washing clothes.
B.A practical rule of washing clothes.
C.Fashion designer's recommendations.
D.How to lengthen clothes'lifespan.
