I’ve never visited the town of Wetumka in Oklahoma of the USA. But I know people there celebrate a day every year when they laugh at themselves. 　1　 And they plan a town festival ceremony on the last Saturday of September to celebrate it. 

It all started in 1950 when a man calling himself F.Bam Morrison arrived in Wetumka and persuaded the local people to put up money to bring a circus to the town. 　2　 They thought he was a good guy. 

Businessmen bought plenty of food, drinks, and souvenirs in preparation for the crowds of people. And Morrison sold tickets in advance. 　3　They were happy with the thought of a circus in their own village. 

On the day the circus parade was to march down the main street, happiness turned into disappointment when nothing happened. Morrison had slipped away(溜走) in the night with all the money he had raised. 　4　The people of Wetumka had been fooled. 

It didn’t take long for their disappointment to turn into enjoyment, however. Someone came up with the idea of holding a four-day celebration. 　5　 They called their party “The Sucker Festival”. People celebrated the fact that they had been cheated. And now Sucker Day is an important event in Wetumka every year. 

A.They call it Sucker Day.

B.So there would be no circus.

C.All the townspeople bought the tickets.

D.Everyone in town had heard about the festival.

E.They had all the food and goodies for the celebration.

F.The local people didn’t know him, but they trusted his words.

G.Morrison told the businessmen they had to make up their minds.

Ⅵ.读后续写

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写词数应为150左右。

Diane Ray was completely self-centred and very spoilt(宠坏的). Her parents gave her everything that she wanted, knowing that she would throw a tantrum(耍脾气) if they did not satisfy her desire. She would scream(尖叫) and lie on the floor drumming her heels. Finally her parents always gave in.

That was why she was alone on the beach, wearing an expensive swimsuit. It had taken a big tantrum to get her parents to buy it for her. They were back at the beach house, recovering from the tantrum she had thrown when they told her that it was too dangerous to go diving alone.“Dangerous? ” she said.“You just don’t want me to have fun. I’m going and if you try to stop me, I’ll scream.”

“What are you doing?” a voice asked. Diane jumped and looked around. She did not know that the man was there until he spoke.

“I’m going to dive,” she answered coldly.

“You shouldn’t swim today,” the man advised.“There is a storm coming up.”

“You should mind your own business!” Diane replied and walked into the gentle waves.

“If you go out there you’ll be sorry,” the man called after her. But she did not want to reply. Diane slipped into the water and dived happily until white waves began rolling in and it became harder to swim against the current(水流). Sea water hit against her face, making it difficult to breathe.“Oh, why didn’t I listen to the advice?” she screamed.

Frightened, she began to scream.                                                                                   

After Diane closed her bedroom’s door, she was lost in thought.

Frightened, she began to scream. And she felt that she would slip beneath the surface. Then, she heard a calm voice,“Hold on! I’m coming.” With relief, she saw the man rowing a boat towards her.“I hope you’ve learned a lesson. You put us both in danger,” he shouted angrily, as he dragged her into the boat. Gratefully, Diane thanked him and ran towards the beach house.

After Diane closed her bedroom’s door, she was lost in thought. The pictures of her throwing a tantrum appeared in her mind. Feeling ashamed, she went out and walked towards her mother. She made an apology to her mother for her bad behaviour. She said,“I’m sorry, Mum. You and my dad have cared about me a lot, showing me your selfless love. But I didn’t cherish it, even worse hurt you deeply. I promise I will listen to your words later.” With tears in eyes, they hugged tightly.
