　　While popular in the US，the April Fool’s Day tradition is even more popular in European countries，such as France and Great Britain．Although the roots of the traditional tricking are unclear，the French and the British both have their own stories about the origin of the celebration．

　　One story holds that the first April Fool’s Day was on April 1 of the year when the king of France introduced the new calendar．This new system placed the day that had formerly been the first day of a new year on April l．Many people were not used to the new calendar and continued(繼續(xù))to celebrate New Year’s Day on what had become the first day of April．Thus，they became the first April Fools．Others began to give funny gifts on the day to laugh at the fools who continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1．

　　An English story about the day，however，says that it began sometime during the 1200s．At the time，King John was in the habit of making roads out of the paths he most often walked along．The people of one particular farm village were aware of this．To avoid having their green grasslands and pastures(牧場)disturbed by one of the king’s roads，they built a fence that prevented the king from walking through their countryside．

　　The king sent a group of messengers(使者)to inform the villagers that they must remove the fence．Upon hearing that the king was planning to do this，however，the villagers developed a plan of their own．When the king’s messengers arrived，they were met by the villagers pretending to be mad．The people just throw things and ran around wildly．The messengers were surprised by this and reported to King John that these people were so mad that there was no necessity of punishing them．So，the villagers saved their farmland by tricking the king．In Great Britain，tradition only allows April Fool’s tricks from midnight to noon on April l．Those who try to play tricks in the afternoon become the fools themselves．

The Eurovision Song Contest takes place in May every year．Before the final competition，people in each country choose the song they want to represent(代表)their country．The idea of the contest is to promote(促進) pop music from all of the different countries and to give an opportunity(機會)to new singers and composers.

    In the first years of Eurovision only the United Kingdom，Ireland，and Maita could sing in English. Now there are no rules about languages，So groups can sing in their own languages，or in English if they want to．(B)Today almost all countries sing in English．

    The competition is always in the country where the last year’s winner came from．The country with the most winners is Ireland，and many Eurovision singers have become very famous，for example Abba and Julio lglesias.

　　Karl Marx was born on May 5,1818. He entered Bonn University in 1835 and went to Berlin University to continue his studies two years later. In October 1842, he became the editor (編輯) of the “Rheinische Zeitung”, and there he began his attack on the old society. Because of his revolutionary activities he was forced to leave his homeland. He moved to France and then to Belgium (比利時) . In 1848, he returned to Cologne to join the revolution directly. After the 1848 revolution failed, he was expelled (驅(qū)逐) from Germany. He went to Paris, but was soon forced to leave France. In 1849, he went to London and spent most of his life time there.

　　Marx was also a great learner of languages. He could read all the leading European languages and write in three: German, French and English. He would like to say that a foreign language is a weapon in the struggle of life. He died on March 14, 1883 in London.

A recent study shows that a third of UK students aged between 16 and 30 are interested in overseas study. Among them, half wish to study at the undergraduate level.

UK students have increasing interest in studying or working in a European country through the EU’s Erasmus Program, an EU student exchange program started in 1987. Recent Erasmus statistics(數(shù)據(jù)) show that nearly 15,600 UK students spent up to a year in another European country through the program during 2013-2014 school year, up 115 percent since 2007.

The figures reflect that more young people in the UK are realizing the value of receiving international experience. “The UK needs graduates who have the skills and confidence to compete worldwide, and can compete against foreign talent that may speak more languages and have wider international experience,” said Rebecca Hughes, director of education at the British Council.

Most UK students would like to go to the United States, followed by Australia, France, Canada and Germany, the findings show, but 42 percent of those who took the questionnaire were interested in traveling outside of the English-speaking world.

Why do UK students want to go abroad? Among those who are interested in overseas study, nearly 50 percent want to have fun traveling and exploring different cultures, while 30 percent want to work for an international company and live overseas. About 15 percent said they wanted to go to the best university and get the best education offered worldwide. What’s more, the high cost of UK university studies plays a role in over half of students’ interest in overseas study.

Also, the study found the biggest schooling check to studying abroad was a lack of foreign language skills—chosen by over half of those who were not interested or had not made a decision about studying overseas. But the top non-schooling check for students was the great cost.

1.The writer presents UK students’ increasing interests in overseas study by ______.

A. giving examples B. making surveys

C. having interviews D. listing statistics

2.It can be learned that ______ is probably the last choice for UK students to study abroad.

A. Australia B. America C. Germany D. France

3.Which is the greatest reason why UK students are interested in overseas study?

A. Working for an international company.

B. The high cost of UK university studies.

C. Receiving the best education worldwide.

D. Travelling in non-English-speaking countries.

4.Which of the following statements is true?

A. UK students are expected to compete with students around the world.

B. Half UK students are unable to afford the university education in the UK.

C. More UK students choose to study abroad through the EU’s exchange program.

D. Overseas UK students all hope to travel around and experience different cultures

Thousands of years ago, people only ate food that was grown near their homes. Some kinds of food were only grown in one place, so people from other places didn't know about them. When Europeans first traveled to Central and South America in the 1500s, they discov­ered strange kinds of food that they had never seen before. Today, these are grown in a lot of different countries and they're sold in supermarkets all over the world. They don't seem strange any more!
Potatoes were first grown in the Andes in South America. In 1586， they were taken to Europe by explorers(探險家).In 1719， they were taken to North America. Before 1719， nobody in North America had ever seen or eaten a potato. Today each American eats more than 60 kilos of potatoes a year.
Tomatoes were also first grown by native(本地的)Americans. When European explorers visited the south of America in 1500, they took tomato seeds(種子)back to Europe. Soon, tomatoes were grown in Europe, but people in England didn't eat them. At that time, a lot of English people thought that tomatoes were poisonous!
Chilies(辣椒)have been eaten in Central and South America for more than 8 ，000 years ！ In the 1500s, chilies were taken to Europe by explorers. Today, they are grown in hot coun­tries all over the world.

To save yourself from embarrassment (尷尬)， it’s good to read a few books or research online about the culture and customs of the country you plan to visit.
Clothing: Wearing shorts in public is generally not acceptable in most parts of the world, including some European countries.
Greetings: Handshake is a usually accepted form of greeting, although in some countries, like Japan, a traditional bow(鞠躬) is preferred. Be careful how you talk with someone; don’t use first names unless you are invited to do something.
Language/Gestures: learn some polite expressions (hello-goodbye-thank you) and relax. English is pretty common worldwide, especially in tourist areas and you can always use body language to get your message across. However, some Americans gestures have different meanings in other countries. For example, in Bulgaria, shaking your head usually means  “yes”; shaking it “vertically” means “ no”.
Food/Drink: you may find yourself looking down at a local delicious snake soup in china, sheep’s eyes in Saudi Arabia… and wonder what to do; especially you are guests in someone’s home. Be brave, take small bites, and pretend it tastes like something you like. Remember that some Buddhists don’t eat beef, and Muslims don’t eat pork. If you are eating with Muslims, never touch food with left hand (the left hand is for bathroom use).
Conversations: if you know the history and culture of the country, you will be confident. The French are angry at the classic American question: “What do you do for a living?” and so on.

To save yourself from embarrassment (尷尬)， it’s good to read a few books or research online about the culture and customs of the country you plan to visit.
Clothing: Wearing shorts in public is generally not acceptable in most parts of the world, including some European countries.
Greetings: Handshake is a usually accepted form of greeting, although in some countries, like Japan, a traditional bow(鞠躬) is preferred. Be careful how you talk with someone; don’t use first names unless you are invited to do something.
Language/Gestures: learn some polite expressions (hello-goodbye-thank you) and relax. English is pretty common worldwide, especially in tourist areas and you can always use body language to get your message across. However, some Americans gestures have different meanings in other countries. For example, in Bulgaria, shaking your head usually means  “yes”; shaking it “vertically” means “ no”.
Food/Drink: you may find yourself looking down at a local delicious snake soup in china, sheep’s eyes in Saudi Arabia… and wonder what to do; especially you are guests in someone’s home. Be brave, take small bites, and pretend it tastes like something you like. Remember that some Buddhists don’t eat beef, and Muslims don’t eat pork. If you are eating with Muslims, never touch food with left hand (the left hand is for bathroom use).
Conversations: if you know the history and culture of the country, you will be confident. The French are angry at the classic American question: “What do you do for a living?” and so on
