     It's hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool's Day.On April 1 each year, people play

tricks on each other.These tricks are usually silly rather than mean.Classmates sometimes tie

each other's shoelaces to their chairs.Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise

test that scares students before they realize it's only a joke.Newspapers announce fake contests

(such as "Win an elephant!") and report on fake stories (like "UFO" lands in New York City).

     Forget gifts, songs and special foods-those are for the other holidays of the year.On April

Fool's Day, the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cause a little bit of trouble).

      One April Fool's Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a

very clever and funny trick on the teachers.They bought some chickens and set them free in our

school cafeteria.The chickens ran all round the school, in and out of classrooms and under our

feet. Feathers were flying everywhere.

     Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them.Finally, they caught four of

them.But the chickens were wearing numbered tags (商标) around their necks, and the teachers

discovered that they had only caught chickens No.1, 2, 3, and 5.Where was chicken No.4?

     The teachers looked and looked.They couldn't find another chicken.After a few hours, they

realized that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the

first place! They've been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.

     It's been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool's Day remains one of my

 favorite memories from those years.

方山子

苏轼

方山子,光、黄间隐人也。少时慕朱家、郭解为人,闾里之侠皆宗之。稍壮,折节①读书,欲以此驰骋当世,然终不遇。晚乃遁于光、黄间,曰岐亭。庵居蔬食,不与世相闻;弃车马,毁冠服,徒步往来,山中人莫识也。见其所著帽,方耸而高,曰:“此岂古方山冠②之遗像乎!”因谓之方山子。

余谪居于黄③,过岐亭,适见焉。曰:“呜呼!此吾故人陈慥季常也,何为而在此?”方山子亦矍然问余所以至此者。余告之故。俯而不答,仰而笑。呼余宿其家,环堵萧然,而妻子奴婢皆有自得之意。余既耸然异之。

独念方山子少时,使酒好剑,用财如粪土。前十有九年,余在岐下,见方山子从两骑,挟二矢,游西山,鹊起于前,使骑逐而射之,不获,方山子怒马独出,一发得之。因与余马上论用兵及古今成败,自谓一世豪士。今几日耳,精悍之色,犹见于眉间,而岂山中之人哉!

然方山子世有勋阀,当得官,使从事于其间,今已显闻。而其家在洛阳,园宅壮丽与公侯等;河北有田,岁得帛千匹,亦足以富乐。皆弃不取,独来穷山中,此岂无得而然哉!

余闻光、黄间多异人,往往阳狂垢污,不可得而见,方山子傥④见之欤?

注释:①折节:改变志节、行为。②谪居于黄:苏轼于元丰三年被贬到黄州。③方山冠:汉代乐舞者所戴之帽;唐宋时,隐者常喜戴之。④傥:通“倘”,倘或、或许。

小题1:对下列句子中加点词语的解释,不正确的一项是(  )

A.闾里之侠皆宗之宗:归往,拜见

B.环堵萧然环:四周

C.方山子怒马独出怒:使……怒,即纵(马)向前

D.往往阳狂垢污阳:通“佯”,假装小题2:下列各组句子中,加点的词的意义和用法相同的一组是( )

见其所著帽,方耸而高   方山子亦矍然问余所以至此者

缇骑按剑而前       原庄宗之所以得天下

游西山,鹊起于前   方山子傥见之欤

夫六国与秦皆诸侯,其势弱于秦   君子病无能焉,不病人之不己知也

小题3:下列对原文的表述和分析,不正确的一项是( )

A.文章一开始,苏轼就简略地介绍了光州、黄州一带的隐士方山子的一生,包括少年、壮年、老年三个阶段。

B.方山子本名为陈季常,退隐岐亭后喜欢戴着古人方山冠的帽子,所以人称方山子;虽然生活清苦,全家人却怡然自得。

C.方山子原是宦门之后,广有田园;他有异于众人的武功和箭法,满腹文韬武略,曾有志于为国为民,但“终不遇”。

D.方山子弃荣利功名而自甘淡泊贫贱的行动,对贬官黄州的作者有很深的触动,写其 “终不遇”,实际上是悲己之“不遇”。
