Spain is famous for its tomato festival, called La Tomatina. It happens in a small town Hanoi on the last Wednesday of August every year. During the festival there are all kinds of activities, but the most exciting part is the tomato fight. It takes place at the end of a week-long celebration. You are encouraged to throw tomatoes in the fight. There’re many stories about how the festival began. One of the stories goes that during the 1940’s, some friends started a tomato fight, while another story is about a local band. Anyway, everyone in Bunol seems to have a different story. Before the tomato fight, there are parades (游行), musical bands, street parties and so on.
On the day of the fight, shopkeepers cover their windows and doors in order to keep away from the tomato fight. At the same time, thousands of tourists and local people come to the town square together. Then large trucks (卡
车)full of tomatoes arrive. From the back of the large trucks, a great town band starts to throw tomatoes at others. Then the crowds fight back, throwing the tomatoes at anything and anyone. Soon the streets are in the sea of red tomato juice.
Everyone should obey a small number of rules: You must squash (压
烂)the tomato before throwing it and you are allowed to throw nothing but tomatoes.

April Fool’s Day should be a day to play jokes on others in hopes of getting a good laugh and making one feel like a fool. However, the April Fool’s Day of 1989 was quite different for my mom and me.
That day my friend Jimmy and I were playing a game. I had dropped down from a bar(横
木)many times in the past without ever having a problem, but that day the simple act of dropping to the ground became a nightmare(噩梦). I broke my arm.
Jimmy’s dad heard my crying and rushed out to see what was going on. When he saw the problem, he quickly put me into his truck and went inside to telephone my mom and let her know he would take me to the hospital. As that day was April Fool’s Day,Morn was not buying it and really thought all this was a big joke. Mom was finally convinced by Jimmy’s mom. When she saw me, she broke down in tears because she felt so bad-she originally thought this was just a big prank(恶作剧).
I guess one could compare this to the story of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”. Since I had pulled pranks before, it is no wonder that my mom didn’t believe it. I as well as my mom was made to look like a fool that day. We both learned a valuable lesson.

38. What does the underlined sentence “Mom was not buying it” mean? A.She didn’t believe what Jimmy’s dad said. B.She would not like to pay the money. C.She had no preparation for the bad news. D.She thought her son deserved(应受) it.
39. Why did the writer mention the story of“The Boy Who Cried Wolf”? A.Because he thought it was his mom’s fault. B.Because he had a lesson like that. C.Because he was proud of his story.
