MONTREAL--He may be the world’s richest man, but that didn’t prevent Bill Gates from falling for an April Fool’s day joke by two Quebec radio comics (喜劇演員) pretending to be Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien.
Montreal French-language station CKMF--FM said last Wednesday that staffers (工作人員) Marcantoine Audet and Sebastien Trudel had a 10-minute telephone chat with Microsoft Corp boss Gates on April 1.
The broadcast was aired on their nightly show last Tuesday and repeated last Wednesday.
“We were happy. We had been calling Microsoft persistently (堅持不懈地) for four weeks,” Trudel said.
Trudel said he and his colleague had already fooled Canadian pop singer Celine Dion and Formula One (一級方程賽車) driver Jacques Villeneuve on their show.
“This time, we wanted to give ourselves a challenge with somebody more difficult to reach,” Ttudel said.
He said he was surprised that Gates’s assistants did not check to see if it was really the prime minister’s office on the line.
Trudel said they imitated (模仿) Chretien’s heavily accented English, talking about the economy, asking about Microsoft’s Windows operating system and inviting the multibillionaire to visit a well-known Montreal strip joint (運動服合資企業(yè)).
The radio host said that Gates was not amused by the fake interview.
“He did not seem angry but he did not find it so funny,” the comic said.
Bill Gates was fooled mainly because ______.
A. his assistants were not careful enough
B. the Canadian Prime Minister helped the two comics
C. the two comics imitated the Canadian Prime Minister so well
D. it was April Fool’s Day
We can conclude from the passage that the two comics ______.
A. liked to fool famous people on their show
B. thought that Gates was not a great challenge to them
C. had a good knowledge of Bill Gates and his Windows operating system
D. were not quite satisfied with their tricks
Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. Gates ‘April Fooled’ B. Two Comics and Their Tricks
C. Two comics and Their Show D. A Fake Interview

April Fool’s Day is also known in some places as All Fool’s Day. No one knows for sure how it started. Some believe the history of April Fool’s Day goes back to the 16th century when Europeans made January the start of the new year insead of April. Those who still celebrated the New Year on April 1 became known as “April fools ”. People began playing tricks on them.
3.__________
Today, almost 500 years later, April 1 is still a day when tricks are played on people in a spirit of fun. France calls this day Poisson d’Avril,which means “ April fish”. Children tape a picture of a fish onto their friends’back and shout “ Poisson d’Avril”.
4.___________
The UK only celebrates April Fool’s Day in the morning, as Brits believe it is bad luck to play jokes in the afternoon. In Denmark, people play tricks on April 1 and celebrate again on May 1.
