Question 1
M:I think Valentine's Day is a trick created by business people to sell flowers and candy. I'm not going to be fooled by their schemes.
W:It's OK to tell me that, but not your girlfriend. She will just think you are a miser.
Q:What does the woman imply?
Question 2
M:Can you help me? I already know the history of holidays like Easter and Valentine's Day. But about Father's Day I can't find anything.
W:There's nothing to find. In 1924 Sonora Dodd, a housewife, decided the country needed a Father's Day. Then she convinced the President to name
a day in June as Father's Day.
Q:Who first proposed Father's Day?
Question 3
W:Tomorrow is Jane's 21st birthday. Where do you think we should go to celebrate it? Well, I'm definitely not for the club.
M:And not Jane's home once again. Let's do something special this year. How about barbecuing in the national park? I bet she'll be surprised. Let's do some shopping for the barbecue right now!
Q:Where does the man suggest celebrating Jane's birthday?
Question 4
W:So, are we ready to go? I can hardly wait to begin our road trip!
M:Yup. The car's packed. We've got the cookies, our favourite CD, the camera... Oh, wait! But where's the map?
Q:What is the man looking for?
Question 5
M:I'm here to buy some flowers for my girlfriend to celebrate Valentine's Day? What do you suggest?
W:Mmm, well, this is our "I Love You" package—two dozen long stem red roses lined with tulips, carnations and lilies. The fragrance and beauty of this flower arrangement is sure to win her heart.
Q:How many red roses does the "I Love You" flower arrangement consist of? Script
Many Americans buy an evergreen tree for Christmas. They put the tree in their home and hang small lights and colorful objects on it. The evergreen
is usually a pine or a fir tree. It remains green during the cold, dark months
of winter in the northern part of the world. So it is a symbol of everlasting life.
The Christmas tree may have developed in part from a popular play performed hundreds of years ago in what is now Germany. Traditionally, the play was held on December 24th, the day before Christmas. The play was about the first people that God created—Adam and Eve. People put apples on an evergreen tree to represent the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden.
By the year 1600, some Germans began bringing evergreen trees into their homes. They put fruit, nuts and sweets on the trees. They shared the food among family members and friends after the holiday season.
Some people say the German religious reformer Martin Luther was the first person to add lighted candles to an evergreen tree. They say he did this
to show how wonderful the stars had appeared to him as he traveled one night.
In the early 1800s, German settlers in the state of Pennsylvania were the first to celebrate the holiday with Christmas trees in the United States.
The Christmas tree tradition spread to many parts of the world. Today, some form of Christmas tree is part of most Christmas celebrations. Some people put a star on top of their Christmas tree. It represents the star that led the three wise men to the baby Jesus in Bethlehem.

In 16th century France, the start of the New Year was observed on April first. It was celebrated in much the same way as it is today with parties and dancing balls into the late hours of the night. Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar for the Christian world, and the New Year fell on January first. There were some people, however, who hadn't heard or didn't believe the change in the date, so they continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April first. Others played tricks on them and called them "April fools". They sent them to do something foolish or tried to make them believe that something false was true. French children fooled their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends' backs. When the "young fool" discovers this trick, the person who played the trick yells "April fish!"
Today Americans play small tricks on friends and strangers alike on the first of April. One common trick on April Fool's Day is pointing down to a friend's shoe and saying, "Your shoelace is untied." Teachers in the 19th century used to say to pupils, "Look! A flock of geese!" and point up. School children might tell a classmate that school had been canceled. Whatever the trick, if the innocent victim falls for the joke, people yell, "April fools!"
Most April fools jokes are in good fun and not meant to harm anyone. The cleverest April fools joke is the one where everyone laughs, especially the person upon whom the joke is played.
