    APRIL FOOL

    Most people know that April 1st is called April Fools Day because people often play

    practical jokes on each other on this day. However its not just friends and family you haveto beware of- big companies, newspapers and TV stations also do their best to fool the

    public.

    In 1998 Burger King published an ad in USA Todayannouncing a new item for their

    menu- the left-handed Whopper. This was the same as a normal Whopper, apart from one

    thing- the burger itself was rotated 180 so that the ketchup would drip out of the right side

    of the burger instead of coming out of the left. The ad fooled thousands of people, despite

    being published on April Fools Day. And 2002, the British supermarket conglomerate, Tesco,

    advertised a whistling carrot. The ad explained that the carrot had been genetically

    engineered to grow with air holes down the side so that it would start whistling when it wasfully cooked.

    These two adverts are relatively recent; whereas Britains most famous April Fool

    hoax is much older. In 1957, the BBC documentary series Panorama showed Swiss farm

    workers pulling spaghetti from Spaghetti tree. The programme told viewers that the

    farmers were enjoying an excellent spaghetti harvest due to a very mild winter. As spaghetti

    wasnt very common in the UK at that time,, many people believed the report. Hundreds of

    viewers even phoned up to ask where they could buy their own spaghetti trees.

    Another famous April Fools Day joke, this time from 1962, comes from Sweden. It

    was announced on the news that it had become possible to watch color programmes on blackand white TVs because of some new technology the TV station had invented. People were

    told to pull a nylon stocking over the screen so they would be able to watch the programmes

    in color. Since almost everyone in Sweden had a black and white TV in those days, hundreds

    of thousands of people tried to do this, even though the news was broadcast on the morning

    of April 1st.

    You might think that people were more easily fooled back in those days. Nevertheless,

    you should be careful next April 1st- this time April Fool might be you!

    --- After reading the text carefully, answer the questions below.

    1) D you eat a hamburger by using one of your hands or you use both hands to grasp

    and eat it?

    2) Do you know how the spaghetti is made?

    3) Was there colored TV in 1960s?
