Question

【題目】Many companies，websites，and newspapers make (偽造的)stories on April 1st.These fake stories are also called hoaxes. Here are some famous hoaxes from history.

Socks to lose weight	In 2000，The Daily Mail said that a health club had produced a new kind of socks to help people lose weight. These socks could make body fat out of feet. If someone puts these socks on his or her feet，he or she could lose weight.
Whistling carrots	In 2002，a British supermarket published an ad in The Sun saying that they had successfully developed “whistling (吹口哨的)carrots”. These carrots grew with air holes. When they were being cooked，these air holes would make the vegetable whistle.
More sheep，less global warming	In 2007，realclimate.org，a website in New Zealand，posted a report about global warming. According to a study by a scientist of New Zealand，large numbers of sheep help stop global warming because their white wool reflects the sun. As the sheep population gets smaller，the ground takes in more heat from the sun. So the planet gets hotter.
Flying penguins	In 2008，the BBC said that they took photos of some penguins that were flying in the air near Antarctic (南極洲).They offered a video clip (剪輯)of these flying penguins.
