M a n y p e o p l e d i d n o t 47 the change, while some just forgot. These people were called fools. People send invitations to ‘New Year’ parties that were not existed and other jokes were played. Then a 48 of playing jokes on April 1st started. The custom finally 49 to England and Scotland, and it was later transported across the Atlantic to the American and the French. April Fools Day has now developed into an international festival of fun, with different nationalities celebrating the day in special ways.
April Fools Day around the World

B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文):
（12分）
When I entered Berkley, I hoped to win a scholarship(奖学金). As a Straight-A student all the way through, I believed I could take tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World
Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was very interested in the ideas he taught in class.
When I took the first exam, I was shocked to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, for English was
always my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my 75 but he refused to do
anything about it.
I decided to try harder, 76 I didn’t know what that meant because school always seemed easy
for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I reasoned Array with Professor Jay ne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn’t 77 .
One more test before the final exam. So I worked even harder and, for the
first time, learned the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my effort did no
good and 78 stayed as before.
The last chance was the final. No matter what grade I got, it wouldn’t
cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the scholarship goodbye.
I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the
final, I even relaxed to a 79 . The next day I decided for once I’d have fun with a test.
A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne’s office. He seemed to
be expecting me. “If I gave you the grade as you 80 , you wouldn’t continue to work hard.”
I stared at him, realizing what he said was correct. I had worked my head off, as I had never done
