On April lst, a country bus was going along a winding road when it slowed down and stopped. The driver anxiously turned switches and pressed buttons, but nothing happened. Then he turned to the passengers with a worried look on his face and said, “This poor bus is getting old. It isn?t going as well as it used to. There?s only one thing we can do if we want to get home today. I shall count three, and on the word ?three?, I want you all to lean（倾斜） forward as suddenly as you can. That should get the bus started again, but if it doesn?t, I?m afraid there is nothing else I can do. Now, all of you lean back as far as you can in your seats and get ready.”
The passengers all pressed back against their seats and waited anxiously. Then the driver turned to his front and asked, “Are you ready?” The passengers hardly had enough breath to answer, “Yes.”
“One! Two! Three! ” counted the driver. The passengers all lean forward suddenly and the bus started up at a great rate.
The passengers breathed more easily and began to smile. But their smiles turned to surprise and then delighted laughter when the driver merrily cried, “April Fool!” (

What is color? Why do some objects(物体) look red, others green, others blue?
Color is caused by reflected(反射的)light rays. We see color because objects reflect light. Something that is red
reflects mostly red light.(It reflects a little green or blue light, too, but we do not see it.)In the same way, green objects reflect mostly green light. White objects reflect all colors of light. Black objects do not reflect any light.
What happens to the colors of light that are not reflected? They are absorbed(吸收)by the object .The darker the color is, the less light is reflected and the more light is absorbed. Light that is absorbed is turned into heat. For this reason, dark-colored clothes are warmer in the sunlight than light-colored clothes. (

Tourism probably started in Roman times. Rich Romans visited friends and family who were working in another
part of the Roman empire. But when the empire broke down, this kind of tourism stopped.
In the early 17th century, the idea of the “Grand Tour” was born. Rich young English people sailed across the
English Channel ( 英吉利海峡 ). They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time, including Paris in France, and Rome and Venice ( 威尼斯 ) in Italy. Their tours lasted for two to four years, and the tourists stayed a few weeks or months in each city. The “Grand Tour” was an important part of young people?s education --- but only for the rich.
In the 18th century, tourism began to change. For example, people in the UK started to visit some towns, such as
Bath to “take the waters”. They believed that the water there was good for their health. So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns.
In the 19th century, travel became much more popular and faster. When the first railways were built in the 1820s,
it was easier for people to travel between towns, so they started to go for holidays by the sea. And some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger , noisier and dirtier.
Traveling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built. People began to travel more to
far away countries.
The 20th century saw cars become more and more popular among ordinary people. Planes were made larger, so
ticket prices dropped and more people used them.
Thus tourism grew. In 1949, Russian journalist Vladimir Raitz started a company called Horizon Holidays. The
company organizes everything --- plane tickets, hotel rooms, even food --- and tourists pay for it all before they leave home. The package tour and modern tourist industry was born.
The first travel agency in China was set up as early as 1949. But tourism did not take off until 1978. In 2002, the industry was worth 500 billion yuan and became an important part of China?s social development. ( ( ( (
