April Fool's Day is supposed to 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 phone my mom and let her know he would take me to the hospital.As that day was April Fool's Day，Mom_was_not_buying_it and really thought all this was a big joke.Mom was finally convinced(说服，使??相信) by Jimmy's mom.When she saw me，she broke down in tears because she felt so bad—she originally(开始) 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 played 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.
( )61.What happened to the writer on the April Fool's Day of 1989? A．He dreamed a terrible dream. B．He was hurt by Jimmy. C．He had an accident.
( )62.Why did Jimmy's dad phone the writer's mom? A．Because he wanted to inform her of the accident.
B．Because he wanted her to go to the hospital to pay the money. C．Because he wanted to see how deeply she loved her son.
( )63.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.
( )64.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.
( )65.From the passage we can infer that ______. A．the writer's mom didn't care much about him B．the writer was a dishonest person C．the writer won't play pranks as before
