"Jack, the headmaster wants you in his office."

    The  （出乎意料的） words made Jack worry about it and suddenly everyone around laughed and shouted "April Fool", for this was April Fool's Day.

    In Britain and in some other （国家）, it is usual and ordinary to play a joke on people on that day. Children are  （允许） to play harmless jokes on their friends until twelve o'clock at night. Usually they try to play a joke on other children. Not only children but also grown-ups enjoy a joke on others. Even newspapers and radios at times try to play a joke on the（公众） with a clever April Fool's story.

    Some time ago, for example, a very （严肃的） BBC TV program did a ten-minute （报告） about spaghetti trees in Italy. The reporter said that trees weren't produced as much spaghetti as they did last year because of the bad weather. He also said that the （价格）of spaghetti would go up. It was so（可相信的） that some housewives hurried to buy. Soon the food was （卖） out. Later they （发现）it was only a hoax.

    Being a mother is simply the greatest success of my life. It has taken me on a trip that can always surprise and （education） me! I feel that my children has （bring） much joy, as well as worry and care.

    They are wonders to me every day. Each minute of every day is filled with different （activity）, feelings and a lot of comedy. From playing sports resting on the sofa, each of my children （fill） every second with laughter, music and discussion. They are kind-hearted and well-mannered. They have quick minds and they always ask or （answer） special questions. I feel happy that I can live with these lovely children.

    Living in such a big and happy family, it is important that our children understand humility（谦卑）. They should know hard their parents have worked to support the family. They should also have a responsibility to work hard, be kind to others, and never take （something） for granted.

    My mother and father always asked me and my brother and sister to have dreams, and I hope that I can do same for my children. I hope that I, together with their father, encourage them to dream big and try （they） best to do what they should do.

—The    talk made me very     just now.
