29、nd making one feel like a fool.April Fools Day started in the sixteenth century in Europe. Before that time, New Years Day was celebrated on April 1st. Then a new calendar called the Gregorian calendar was introduced. January 1st became the first day of the year, but many people didnt know about it.
30、 So those who continued to celebrate New Years Day on April 1st were teased. They were called fools.Nowadays we play jokes on people on April 1st. For example, someone might put salt in the sugar bottle so another person could put it in his coffee “by accident“. Or someone might change the time on a
31、nother persons alarm clock so that that person would unknowingly wake up earlier or later than planned. Or maybe a person would tell a lie to make someone else shocked.After we play the trick, we say “April Fools“. Then the poor person realizes he was fooled. It is generally done in the spirit of fu

35、ps away from the paper clip.Now close one eye and walk toward the paper clip. Try to touch it with the tip of the stick. If you miss, try again, still keeping one eye closed. Now try it with both eyes open and see if its easier to do.How it works:In the experiment, you have to judge how far away the
36、 paper clip is. Your brain has several ways of doing this.One simple way depends on how much your eye has to focus(聚焦) itself. Using only one eye, most people will find it difficult to touch the paper clip on the first try, but the brain still gets some information about distancethough not much.Your
37、 brain can judge distance much better when you look at something with both eyes. In fact, your brain has more than one way to use both eyes in judging distance. For example, to see anything clearly, you have to make both of your eyes 8point at the object. When you look at a nearby object, your eyes
38、turn inward. You can feel this happening if you look at the tip of your finger and move your finger toward your nose.Your brain gets information from the eyes about how much they are pointing toward each other. Using that information, the brain can tell how far away any object is, whether it is a ba

42、D. our brain can hardly get any information about distance when we use one eyeDEveryone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We dont always want people around. But we wou
43、ld feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes friends dont get along well. That doesnt mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up (和解) and go on being friends.Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much.
44、 But we can call them and write to them. It is possible that we will even see 9them again. And we can make new friends.
