When the day came,every child brought some tomatoes with the names of the people he or she hated.Some had two tomatoes. 3 had three tomatoes.Some even had five tomatoes.The teacher then told the children to carry the tomatoes with them wherever they went for a week.Days passed and the children started to complain(抱怨) 4 the rotten(腐烂的) tomatoes let out terrible smell.Besides,those having five tomatoes,also had to carry 5 bags.After one week,the children were very happy because the game had 6 ended.
The teacher asked,“How did you feel?” The children started complaining of the trouble that they had to go through when carrying the heavy and smelly tomatoes.
Then the teacher told them the 7 behind the game.
The teacher said,“This is the same situation when you carry your hatred(憎恨) for somebody 8 your heart.The terrible smell of hatred will 9 your heart,and you will carry it with you wherever you go.If you cannot stand the smell of the rotten tomatoes for just 10 week(s),can you imagine what it is like to have the smell of hatred in your heart for your lifetime?”

April Fool’s Day started in the sixteenth century in Europe.Before that time,New Year’s Day was celebrated on 1 April .Then a new calendar was 11 into Europe.Then 1 January became the first day of the year,but many people did not know about it.So those 12 continued to celebrate New Year’s Day on 1 April were teased(取笑).People 13 them and called them fools.
Nowadays we play jokes 14 people on 1 April.For example,someone might put salt in the sugar container(容器)so another person could “accidentally” put 15 in his or her coffee.Or someone might 16 the time on another person’s alarm clock so that person would unknowingly 17 up earlier or later than planned.Or maybe a person would tell a lie to make someone else shocked.
