【文章內容簡介】 ression “putting one on”. When one finds it difficult to believe what you said, he may look at you more closely and ask, “Are you putting me on?” He doesn’t think you are serious.

The caller changes his voice and tells his friend a certain Mr. Fox calls him and asks him to make a quick reply to the given number, which is the telephone number of the National Zoo. Unthinkingly, the friend quickly makes his call and asks for Mr. Fox.The man on the other end says, “Who?”“Mr. Fox. I don’t know his full name. Please hurry.”The man at the other end answers, “We have no Mr. Fox here”. Then he realizes it is a joke and he has heard it before. And he begins to laugh and says, “Look, friend, this is the zoo. Somebody is pulling your leg, putting you on.”“Good God,” the friend says to himself, “How foolish I am!” But he thinks about it and can’t help having a good laugh over it.( ) 11.

April 1st, a day when people will make fun of each otherDChicago (芝加哥) is next to a big beautiful lake, Lake Michigan. In the summer Lake Michigan is warm and blue. People lie on the beaches and swim in the water. In the winter Later Michigan is cold and gray. Snow covers the beaches, and ice covers the water.On one of such cold days, a little boy and his father were playing in the snow on Chicago beach. The boy was Jimmy. He was four years old. Suddenly the ice broke, and Jimmy fell into the cold water. Jimmy39。s father jumped into the water. He couldn39。t find Jimmy. Minutes went by. He still couldn’t find Jimmy. Firemen arrived. Twenty minutes later they found Jimmy and pulled him out of the water. Jimmy was not breathing, and his heart was not beating. He was dead. At the beach paramedics (醫(yī)務輔助人員) worked on Jimmy for an hour. He began to breathe, and his heart began to beat. The paramedics rushed Jimmy to the hospital.Doctors at the hospital put Jimmy in bed .They put him on a cold mattress (床墊) because they wanted his body to warm up slowly. They gave him some medicine because they wanted him to sleep. After eight days, he woke up. He was treated in the hospital for six more weeks. Every day he got better. Then he went to another hospital. He stayed there for seven weeks. He began to walk, talk, and play again. All people think he’s been great.Jimmy was in the water for more than 20 minutes. He couldn’t breathe in the water. He couldn’t get any oxygen. But today he is alive and healthy. How is it possible? Jimmy is alive because the water was ice cold.
