W: Well,I was thinking about taking a year off after we finish school this summer, and I wanted some advice.
M: I see. You mean putting off going to university for a year？

W: Fine.
M: How do you feel about your work in your first full year in the company？
W: Well, the job is exactly as it was advertised in the paper, so there have been no surprises. I like dealing with customers and 1 don't mind answering the phones and preparing invoices. Sometimes it's a bit boring to type long price lists, but someone has to do it.
M: That's true. Does anything make your job difficult？
W: The computer. To begin with, I was slow because I didn't know the program, but now I get annoyed when the computer just stops working for no reason. I think the computers are too old for our software and we need some new machines.
M: Is there anything else you would like to change？
W: Let me see. I'd like the manager to issue credit notes without having to ask you first. You're often away on business and sometimes customers ring up with a complaint. And if we can't contact you, then we can't deal with the complaint properly.
M: Yes, but some of our customers always find something wrong and try to get a credit note with every order. You can't believe everything they say. What about your objectives for the future？
W: Well, I need to get to know the customers better and try to make fewer mistakes. But I think the most important thing is to broaden my product knowledge, so I can help when customers make enquiries.
M: Don't worry, you'll learn all that in time.

We all know April 1st can also be called April fool's Day. But do you know where it came from？ Do you know this day used to be a nation's New Year？
This is the case in France in sixteenth-century, which, when you think about it, may make more sense, for April is the time when spring returns. And the idea of beginning a year with spring would so easily be understood. The celebration for the New Year is pretty much the same as it is today. People hold and join all sorts of parties, singing and dancing into the late night.
Then in 1562, a new calendar was introduced by Pope Gregory for the Christian world. And the New Year began to be celebrated on January first. For any nation, the celebration of New Year is something that can not be replaced by other occasions. And the change of the New Year's date would not be accepted in an easy way. That's also why some people chose not to believe it when hearing the news. So they insist to celebrate New Year on April first, others played tricks on them and called them April fools.
Americans play small tricks on friends and strangers in a similar way on the first of April. One commonly-played trick is pointing down to a friend's shoe and saying, your shoelace is untied. And the examples we mentioned at the beginning of our passage is among the limitless ways for children to play tricks on their classmates, friends and so on. Most April fool jokes are in good fun and not meant to harm anyone. The cleverest April fool joke is the one where everyone laughs, especially the person upon whom the joke is played.
The examples the author mentions in the first paragraph is to ______ .
A．criticize the lack of good manners of the American school kids
B．warn us not to believe others without confirmation
C．highlight the idea that we should be nice to those people around us
D．introduce the of April Fool's Day in an way that would interest the readers
M: Mom and Dad want to have all the family back home this year, so that's where we'll be. How about you？
W: I plan on having everyone over to my place this year. It really is a lot of work, but I love having my family all together and I like to entertain.
M: You are such a good cook. I'll bet your family loves coming to your place, too.
W: I don't do all the cooking myself. I think everyone enjoys it a little more if they each bring something they have made.
M: Do you have traditional dishes that you serve every year？ I know our family does.
W: Yes, we do. We always have turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy and, of course, sweet potatoes. I think those are traditional dishes for most families. There is a fruit salad that we have every year and every one looks forward to my pumpkin pie.
M: What do the men in your family do while the women are doing the cooking？
W: It's the same every year—football. They watch one game after another on Thanksgiving. I tell them that they ought to go out and get some exercise, but they just can' t get away from the TV.
M: I know a lot of men are like that. After dinner we like to go bowling. It's a fun thing to do together as a family. After a couple of games, we go back home and eat the left food.
W: I like that about Thanksgiving. We cook so much food that we have leftovers to last for several meals and I don't have to cook.

听力原文：W: Hello Jack! You don't look well, and what seems to be the problem？
M: Actually it is big suffering for me. Every year almost this time, I must come down with something.
W: What are symptoms do you usually get？
M: You know, cough, fever, runny nose, headache and feeling chill. I'm usually miserable for a week and it just ruins my holidays.
W: Sounds like a typical flu. The heavy work must drive you exhausted this time each year. And you know, people are easily stricken by flu when they are overtired and stressed out.
M: That is quite right. (19) The period approaching New Year is the busiest time for me as an accountant. I must work overtime and keep my mind highly concentrated.
W: For this reason, you are exposed to the infection by the virus when you're in big crowds where lots of people are coughing.
M: Yes, (20) I must spend a lot of time in department stores buying New Year's gifts for people. Then what can I do to ward off the flu？
W: Actually it's fairly simple. (21) Get a lot of rest, drink more water and eat well. In that way, you can regain the strength to fight against the virus.
M: All these things make sense. But one more question. Will my family members be infected by me？
W: In that case, they must get ready for the prevention, especially for the old and child. (22) They may go to the health center to have an injection of prevention medicine.

B．Working overtired.
