He didnt want to live there, and he didnt want to take the bus either. So his father agreed to buy him a car. His father spent all his summer teaching him how to drive, from the ABC to the XYZ. Thinking of the great feeling of driving a new car, Martin learned very quickly, and received his drivers license just before his eighteenth birthday. The second day, all the family, and their dog, went to a car shop. Martin spent almost all the morning going from one car to another. Finally he saw a red Blue Bird. He had a test drive on the open ground, and called out, “This is what I want, Dad!” When everything was done, they were ready to leave. Martin climbed into the front seat. He said excitedly, “Its my first day driving alone. Dad, Mom, and Poo! Enjoy it!” His dad immediately took the back seat, right behind the new driver. Martin wondered why his father chose that seat, for his father always enjoyed looking in front. So he said, smiling, “Im sure youre back there to have a change after all those weeks of sitting in the front seat teaching me how to drive.” “No,” Dad replied, “Do you remember what you did to me all those years when I took you to and from school? I am sitting here to hit and kick the back of your seat all the way!”1、Which of the following is NOT the reason why Martins father agreed to buy him a car?.AMartin would go to college and it was far from home.BMartin preferred living at home to living at college.CMartin didnt want to take the public transport.DMartin was able to learn how to drive very quickly.2、Martin did the following things one by one：_a.

It is very important in American culture. American stories speak of Johnny Appleseed, who went throughout America collecting apple seeds and planting apple trees. He had a great love for nature and went through fields and farms adding richness and beauty to the country. One of the first sayings taught to school children is, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This short saying encourages children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy. If someone always says good words to a person, people will call him an “apple polisher”. This, however, is not a good name. If someone is very dear to us, we say that he or she is the “apple of our eye”. Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple, even though the Bible(圣经) never says so. The apple, therefore, is a deep part of the language and stories of America. An apple is also delicious. Apples can be cooked in many ways, used as a dessert, and made into sweet juice. In many parts of the country during the harvest season, a popular activity is to go into an apple garden to pick apples. Washington, D. C. and New York are both famous for their apples. Finally, when its time to take a vacation to American cities, one can always visit New York, which is “the biggest apple” of all the American cities.1.What does the underlined phrase “apple polisher” mean?ASomething for cutting apples.
