Section A 2d
Role-play the conversation.
Matt: Why were you late for class today, Kevin?
Kevin: My alarm clock didn't go off! I kept sleeping, and when I woke up it was already 8:00 a.m.!
Matt: Oh, no!
Kevin: So I just quickly put on some clothes and rushed out the door.
Matt: You didn't eat breakfast?
Kevin: No, I didn't even brush my teeth or wash my face! But before I got to the bus stop, the bus had already left.
Matt: Then how did you get here?
Kevin: Luckily, Carl's dad saw me on the street and gave me a lift in his car.
Matt: Well, at least by the time you got to school, you were only five minutes late for class.

Section A 3a
Read the passage and answer the questions.

Life Is Full of the Unexpected
In May 2001,I found a job in New York at the World Trade Center. On September 11, 2001,I arrived at my building at around 8:30 a.m. I was about to go up when I decided to get a coffee first. I went to my favorite coffee place even though it was two blocks east from my office. As I was waiting in line with other office workers, I heard a loud sound. Before I could join the others outside to see what was going on, the first plane had already hit my office building. We stared in disbelief at the black smoke rising above the burning building. I felt lucky to be alive.

Almost 10 years later, I woke up at 10:00 a.m. on February 21,2011 and realized that my alarm never went off. I jumped out of bed and went straight to the airport. But by the time I got to the airport, my plane to New Zealand had already taken off. "This is the first holiday I've taken in a year, and now I've missed my plane. What bad luck!” I thought to myself. The other planes were full so I had to wait till the next day. The next morning, I heard about the earthquake in New Zealand the day before. My bad luck had unexpectedly turned into a good thing.

Section B 2b
2a Have you ever played jokes on others, especially on April Fool's Day? Have you ever been fooled by others? Tell your story to your partner.
2b Read the passage quickly. Then match each paragraph with the main idea.

Paragraph 1  The most famous trick played
Paragraph 2  Examples of funny stories that happened on April Fool's Day
Paragraph 3  An introduction to April Fool's Day
Paragraph 4  A sad story that happened on April Fool's Day

April Fool's Day is a celebration that takes place in different countries around the world. It happens on April 1st every year and is a day when many people play all kinds of tricks and jokes on each other.

One April Fool's Day, a reporter in England announced that there would be no more spaghetti because the spaghetti farmers in Italy had stopped growing spaghetti. Many people ran to their local supermarkets to buy as much spaghetti as they could. By the time people realized that the story was a hoax, all of the spaghetti across the country had been sold out. In another famous trick a TV show in England reported the discovery of special water. They said this water would help people lose weight and that one customer had already lost a lot of weight in just four months. By the end of the day, more than 10,000 people had phoned the TV station to find out how to get this water.

Many April Fool's jokes may end up being not very funny. A famous TV star once invited his girlfriend onto his show on April Fool's Day. He asked her to marry him. The lady was so happy because she really wanted to get married. However, when she said yes, he replied, “April Fool!” That little joke didn't have a very happy ending. The TV star lost his girlfriend and his show was canceled.

One of the world's most famous tricks, however, happened in October rather than in April. In that month in 1938, actor Orson Welles announced on his radio program that aliens from Mars had landed on the earth. He described where they had landed and told how they were moving across the United States. Welles made it sound so real that hundreds of people believed the story, and fear spread across the whole country. By the time police officers announced that the story was a hoax, thousands of people had left their homes.

Unit 12  Life is full of the unexpected. 生活充满了意料之外的事情。  
Section A  2d   
Matt：凯文，你今天为什么上课迟到了？
Kevin：我的闹钟没有响！我一直睡觉，当我醒来时，已经是早上8点了！
Matt：哦，不！
Kevin：所以我迅速穿上衣服冲出家门。
Matt：你没吃早餐吗？
Kevin：没有，我甚至没有刷牙也没有洗脸！但在我还没到达公交车站台，汽车就已经开走了。
Matt：那你是怎么来这儿的？
Kevin：幸运的是，卡尔的父亲看见我在街道上，让我搭了他的车。
Matt：嗯。至少当你到达学校时，上课只迟到了5分钟。

Section A  3a
生活充满了意外
2001年5月，我在纽约世贸中心找到了一份工作。2001年9月11日，我大概在早上8点半到达了工作的大楼。我正要上楼，这时我决定先去买一杯咖啡。我去了我最喜欢的咖啡店，虽然它在我办公室东边两个街区以外。当我正在和其他办公室职员排队等待的时候，我听到一声巨响。我还没来得及加入屋外的人群去弄清究竟发生了什么事儿，第一架飞机已经撞上了我办公室的大楼。我们呆呆地盯着燃烧的大楼上升起的黑烟，简直无法相信。我觉得我能够活着很幸运。

大约十年之后，2011年2月21日，我早上十点醒来，意识到我的闹钟根本没有响。我从床上跳起来直奔机场。但是当我到达机场时，飞往新西兰我的航班已经起飞了。“这可是我今年的第一个假期，我居然误了航班。真倒霉！”我暗想。其他的航班都已经满员，我不得不等到第二天。第二天早上，我听到新西兰前一天发生了地震的消息。我的坏运气意想不到地变成了一件好事。

Section B  2b   愚人节
愚人节是一个世界上许多不同国家都会庆祝的节日。每年的4月1日是愚人节，这是一个许多人会互相开各种玩笑或恶作剧的日子。

有一年的愚人节，英国的一位记者宣称，由于意大利农民停止种植意大利面条，以后将不再有意大利面了。许多人都跑到当地的超市尽可能多地买意大利面。等人们意识到这是一个恶作剧的时候，全国所有的意大利面条都被卖光了。在另一个著名的恶作剧中，英国一家电视节目报道发现了一种特殊的水。他们说这种水可以帮助人们减肥，有位消费者仅4个月就减重很多了。在那天，超过1万人打电话到电视台，询问如何得到这种水。

许多愚人节玩笑的结局并不那么有趣。一位著名的电视明星曾在愚人节邀请他的女朋友上他的电视节目。他向她求婚，那位女士是如此的高兴，因为她真的想结婚了。然而，当她答应的时候，他却回答：“愚人节傻瓜”！这个小玩笑的结局并不愉快。电视明星失去了他的女朋友，而且他的节目也被取消了。

然而，世界上最出名的恶作剧之一却发生在10月而不是4月。在1938年的10月，演员奥森·威尔斯在他的电台节目中宣布来自火星的外星人已登陆地球。他描述了他们在哪里登陆，还告诉大家这些外星人正在如何穿越美国。威尔斯的描述听起来如此逼真，以至于很多人相信了，恐惧在整个国家蔓延。等到警察宣布这个故事是恶作剧时，已经有数以千计的人离开了他们的家园。
