April Fools’ Day is also referred to as All Fools’ Day. It is one of the most funfilled days of the year for all involved. The origin of April Fools’ Day is still a bit of a mystery. This is because there really was not a first April Fools’ Day that can actually be identified on the calendar. Some people believe it might have e about in several cultures around the same time, from festivities that involve the first day of spring. However, some individuals see it as a memoration (纪念 ) of the changing of the season, while there are others who think it originates from the implementation (执行 ) of a new calendar. The most accurate point in time that can be considered as the start of this April Fools’ Day tradition was in 1582 in France. Before that year, the New Year was celebrated for eight days. The celebration ended on the 1st of April. Later with the restructuring of the calendar, New Year’s Day was moved to the 1st of January. In those times munication was of course not as keen as it is today. Therefore a lot of people did not get the news of the change in calendar for many years. On the other hand many individuals refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the New Year on the 1st of April. These persons were branded as fools by the general public and they were in return subjected to being laughed at. These practical jokes developed, over a period of time, into a series of pranks(恶作剧 ) on the first day of April. This custom after a while extended to other cultures. April Fools’ Day began to develop into a worldwide day of pure fun, which entertained several cultures which specialized in their own kind of humour at the expense of their friends and families. 56.

Since he took off 15 years ago, this country musician has sold more than 25 million albums, has had sixteen No. 1 hits, won countless awards and had a sea of loyal fans who have made him the biggest North American concertticket seller. Kenny is certainly at the height of his career as he releases his Greatest Hits II album this week. It’s a collection of songs in which he says each takes him to a different place or event in his life. The most personal is the song I’m Alive, Kenny tells The Boot. Most of the songs on this record are really fun, but I wrote I’m Alive after my breakup with Renee. I woke up one day and realized, even though I had gone through this and didn’t feel good about it, my life still belongs to me. I’m alive。 I get to make music。 I’ve got a lot of great friends. That’s the message of the song. Kenny insists that the song selection for Greatest Hits II is not formulaic(刻板的 ). In addition to the hits that climbed the country charts, the singer also wanted to include some songs unknown to his fans that reflected his life and career path. I didn’t want it to be all hits。 I wanted it to be a second chapter of my life in musi c, he explains. So the song Beas You Are really does that for me. Kenny recently celebrated his 41st birthday, but the number of candles on the cake didn’t depress him a bit, thanks to what he loves so deeply. I still feel like I’m 18,he say s. Living life the way you do on the road, it definitely keeps you feeling that way. And I think people that have music in their life are a lot better off (富有 ) and healthier than people that don’t. I’ve been very content to have not just a little bit of music in my life, but a whole lot of music. It drives my life. 60.
