Everyone wants to have a 【小题1】 (wonder) New Year’s party, but do you know how to hold a 【小题2】 (succeed) party? OK, now let me tell you about planning your New Year’s party.

The 【小题3】 (one) step to any great party is the planning. Think about what kind of New Year’s party you want to have. Will this be an adults-only party? Will this be a 【小题4】 (dance), drinking or performance party? Will you invite all of the family 【小题5】 (member) for fun to the party? Will this be a party for teens? You have to think about who is 【小题6】 (come) to your party when you plan it so that you can make it fun for everyone! Once you have decided who you are inviting and what kind of party you are having, the fun 【小题7】 (start)!

Second, send 【小题8】 (you) New Year’s party invitations out early so that everyone you want to invite 【小题9】 (have) a lot of time to write back to you and you know how to plan for it. 【小题10】, you can start your New Year’s party.

Be careful on A【小题1】 1! When your classmates say “Your shoes are dirty!”, it may not be t【小题2】. And if they tell you to go to your teacher’s office, this may be a joke too.

April Fool’s Day(愚人节) is an interesting f【小题3】 in some countries. On that day people play jokes on others and then s【小题4】, “April Fool!” It is a “for-fun-only” day, so people do not buy p【小题5】 or have a day off.

April Fool’s Day started in France in the 16th century. At that time, New year’s Day was b【小题6】 March 25th and April 1st.

Later New Year’s Day changed to January 1st, some people still celebrated it on April 1st, and others played jokes on them and called them “April Fools”.

Each c【小题7】 celebrates April Fool’s Day in a d【小题8】 way. In France, it is called “April Fish”. The French fool their friends by sticking paper fish to their fiends’ backs. When someone finds out this joke, they shout, “April Fish!” In England, it is bad l【小题9】 to play an April Fool’s joke on someone after midday. Americans u【小题10】 play small jokes on friends and strangers(陌生人).
