Here are some popular theories about its origin (起源). The most popular theory is connected with the French calendar历法change of the sixteenth century. In 1564 France changed its calendar, moving the start of the year from the end of March to January 1st. Those who didnt notice the change continued to celebrate the New Year during the week that fell between March 25th and April 1st, and so they had jokes played on them. Pranksters(恶作剧的人) would secretly stick paper fish to their backs. They were thus called April Fish which, to this day, remains the French term for an April Fool and so the tradition was born. An English story about the day, however, holds that it began some time during the 1200s. At the time, King John of England had the habit of making a road out of nearly every path that he walked along regularly. To avoid their farmland becoming one of kings roads, the villagers of one village built a fence that prevented the king from walking across their land. The king sent a man to tell the villagers that they must remove the fence. However, when the man arrived, he found the villagers behaving strangely, throwing things and running around madly. He was surprised and reported what he had found to King John. So the villagers saved their farmland by playing a trick on the King. In Great Britain, tradition only allows April Fools tricks before noon. Those who try to play tricks in the afternoon are themselves called fools. .44. The passage is mainly about _. A. the purpose of April Fools Day B. the origins of April Fools DayC. the traditions on April Fools Day D. the fools on April Fools Day45. We can learn from the passage that _. A. April Fools Day has something to do with the New Year B. different places have different customs on April Fools DayC. April Fools Day began some time during the 1200s D. April Fools Day was created by some villagers46. The second paragraph tells us that _. A. France has changed its calendar 16 timesB. the calendar change in 1564 was to determine the April Fools DayC. the French used to celebrate the New Year for about a weekD. people who celebrate April Fools Day are called April Fish in France47. What will this passage probably talk about next? A. How the British people celebrate April Fools Day.B. How to play a practical joke on April Fools Day.C. How people celebrate April Fools Day in Canada.D. The American story of how April Fools Day came into being.
