Fool’s Day falls on 1st of April. People _36_forget the significance （意义） of the day.
In March 1980. I was 37 at Durham University with seven other Chinese students. I had 38 to go to another university after graduation and had 39 application (申请) forms to several 40 . Every morning I arrived at the porter’s office (传达室) and waited my fate. But no 41 came.
On April 1st, as I was eating my 42 , Huang came in , with a toothbrush 43 in his hand. 44 fearing that he might forget the important news , he passed me the 45 . “Morning , Wu,” he said , “I saw Mr. G this morning. He told me that a letter had arrived in his office for you from Manchester University, and asked you to go and get it 46 possible.” I jumped with 47 .
I even didn’t 48 my breakfast and rushed to Mr. G’s office but he wasn’t 49 . I then went to the secretary’s room and 50 everything to her. She opened Mr. G’s room. I looked at everything. There didn’t seem to be a letter for me. “If he had asked you to pick it up from here,” said the secretary , “ he would have put it in 51 or simply left it to me.”
Greatly 52 , I walked out of the room and 53 the secretary lock it. 54 the secretary’s eyes 55 . “Sorry,” she said. “It’s April Fool’s Day!”
