I think April Fool's Day is a very unusual holiday. On April Fool's Day, you have to watch out for practical jokes. You can't trust everything you hear on April 1st. Even some main newspapers will put fake news to fool people. I heard a story about how on April Fool's Day, a piece of fake news brought panic (恐慌) to London. A newspaper printed an article about aliens landed in England. This caused many people to be afraid and the local police were not very pleased with the newspaper.

It can be interesting to play tricks, but you'd better not to go too far. One April Fool's Day, I called my mother from the university I attended. I told her that I failed all of my exams and because of this, I wasn't able to graduate. She was so upset that she started to cry. I felt really bad about making her sad and tried to tell her it was just a joke. After I told her it was only an April Fool's Day's joke, she got so angry with me that she hung up the phone. I had to call her back and apologize before she would talk to me again.

April Fool's Day's jokes can be funny,but you should be careful not to hurt people's feelings by embarrassing them too much. Before you act, you should always make sure to put yourself in someone else's shoes and think about how they might feel.

From the start, I sensed something special about my brother Joe. Born premature (早產(chǎn)), he spent his first few ______ in an incubator (恒溫箱). I was four years old, having no ______ of babies. “What is that?” I said the day he ______ came home. “That’s your brother,” said my mother softly. “Call him Joe.” I touched him gently with my little hand and he grabbed hold of my finger. “Wow,” I said, “he’s strong.”

Little did I know. Joe would prove ______ than the sum of his diseases: the weakness in his legs, the limits of his mind, the never-ending night of his vision.

When he was six months old, my mother brought him home from a regular checkup from the hospital and told me to watch him while she was ______ supper in the kitchen. We started playing a game that I called “dogs” — rolling on the floor like pups (小狗). Then I looked up and saw my mother watching us. She was crying sadly. “Poor Joe, he’s ______,” she whispered, with ______ in her eyes. “The doctor told me today.”

I looked at Joe, who was laughing happily. “He can’t be blind,” I argued. “He’s truly smiling at my face.”

“Oh, no, honey. He smiles at your ______,” she replied. “He’ll never see your face.”

When he was seven, Joe spent a month in a hospital, following an operation that failed to help his legs. Walking without support seemed ______ for him ever since. From the age of eight, he ______ a school for the deaf and the blind, learning to read Braille (盲文). He was always ______, and when he was 16, the school said he had learned enough and sent him home. However, nothing could ______ him from learning and becoming independent. At 21, Joe moved out to live on his own, as he said, “Like a man, I am able to ______ by myself as a consultant (顧問).” He learned to cook, clean, do his own laundry and almost anything he ______, which were joyful experiences for him.

Then he met the ______ of his life. They dated three weeks before getting married. Joe called me proudly, “Even a blind man can fall in love at first sight.”
