“Oh，no. It’s ten to eight. I’m late for school. I have to be quick,” said Jason. He ran quickly to school. But when he entered the classroom, there were only three students there. “You’re so early, Jason,” said Tina.
“Early? I think that I overslept (睡过头),” Jason answered. “Look at the clock on the wall. It’s only twenty past seven,” said Ben. “But；my alarm clock ... now I know. My deskmate must have set my alarm clock forward one hour. Why did he do so?” Jason wondered.
“Today is April first. You should be careful,” Tina answered. The other students were laughing loudly, and so was Jason.

Sometimes one says simply to another,“Your shoes are untied.” After you find it’s only a joke, the trickster (骗子）ends it by saying “April Fool”.

A French artist, Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, designed the Statue of Liberty in the late 1800s. Today the monument (纪念碑）continues to present a beautiful sight on the New York skyline. But it came close to never arriving in the United States.
The materials (材料）required for building the statue were almost lost at sea. In 1885, the ship carrying those materials almost sank (下沉）in stormy seas. Bartholdi’s dream of a huge statue might never have been fulfilled.
Luckily, the ship survived the rough seas. It arrived safely in June. By the next year, the Statue of Liberty had arisen on what was then called Bedloe’s Island. The statue was officially opened that year. Many years later, the island was given a new name: Liberty Island.
The statue has survived damage caused by time, travelers and the weather. It stood firmly (稳固地）during the Hurricane Sandy in 2012. But Liberty Island suffered damage, requiring major repairs.
“Lady Liberty”，as many people called the statue, was a gift from the people of France. Its full name is “Liberty Enlightening the World”.
The United States and France have been friends since the war. France helped the American colonial armies defeat (击败）British forces. A French historian and political leader, Edouard-Rene Lefebvre de Laboulaye, had the idea for the statue. In 1865, he suggested that the French and the Americans build a monument together to celebrate freedom. Bartholdi agreed to design it.

C.It was impossible for Bartholdi to build the Statue of Liberty.
D.Bartholdi thought he could build the
Statue of Liberty without others’ help.
()43. What happened to the Statue of Liberty in 2012?
A.It was damaged by a terrible earthquake.

Dear Lily,

Could you please give me some advice? I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
