Read the following text and choose the correct answer to each question.
In 16th-century France, the start of the new year was observed on April 1st. It was celebrated much the same way it is today- with parties and dancing into the late hours of the night. Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar to the Christian world, and the new year fell on January 18. Some people either didn't hear about the new calendar system or didn't believe the change had really been made. These people continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1st. They became the target of jokes. People played tricks on them and called them "April's fools." They sent them on a "fool's errand" or tried to make them believe that something false was true.
Today, some Americans continued the tradition by playing tricks on their friends on the first of April. One well-known trick or practical joke is to put salt in the sugar bowl. Something that college students do is to print false headlines in their, college newspaper - such as “FREE BEER IN THE LIBRARY”. Most April Fool's jokes are in good fun and not meant to harm anyone. The best April Fool's joke is one where everyone laughs, especially the person the joke is played on.

Read the following passage choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
[1] Dreams occur when we are experiencing REM (RAPID EYE MOVEMENT) sleep. We dream about two hours a night (six years of our lives). No one is sure why we dream, but some scientists, psychologists and religions have their theories. Scientist lie Zhang proposes that dreams are our way of processing data about the events of the day. Psychologist Sigmund Freud suggested dreams allow our minds to express things we don't think about when awake.
[2] Throughout history, different cultures have turned to religion for explanations. The ancient Greeks thought dreams were messages from the gods. They built special temples in which dreams were "kept". They placed the sick in these temples as they thought dreams had the power to heal. The Egyptians believed that gifted people could interpret dreams which were messages from God.
[3] Today, dream dictionaries have been developed to help people understand their nocturnal adventures. For example, dreaming of a shark represents a person who is greedy. You need to take care when dealing with this person. Dreaming of spiders means that you feel like an outsider and, if you dream of killing a spider, you are experiencing a period of bad luck. If you dream of eating macaroni, you need to save money and spend it wisely.
[4] There are dreams we share. Flying dreams leave people feeling exhilarated. According to the dream dictionary, they mean that we are on top of the world and feel in control. Ever had a dream where you were walking around in your birthday suit? This is one people having silly or being made fun of.
[5] How about falling dreams? The sickening feeling of plum through the air and then walking just before you hit the ground! (By the way, you won't actually die if you dream that you hit the ground.) This shows that you are anxious and insecure. You have lost control of the situation.
[6] Are dreams our inner desires, our minds making sense of their current circumstances, predictions of the failure or messages from the gods? Perhaps they have no meaning at all. As science is of little help in clearing up the mystery, you will have to make up your own mind. Sweet dreams!
