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?A . Something for cutting apples.B . A person who likes to please others.C . A person who is dealing with fruits.D . A machine for cleaning apples quickly.（2）Which of the following is TRUE with apples?A . Apples are medicine.B . Apples are the most important food.C . New York is famous for its big apples.D . The Bible says Adam was given an apple.（3）The passage is mainly about.A . stories about the appleB . apples in American cultureC . some famous sayings of the appleD . big cities that is famous for apples15. （5分）任务型阅读Mistakes are great teachers. Success comes to those who are willing to risk making mistakes to achieve their goals and wishes, and who are able to learn from those mistakes. And in order to learn from mistakes , you must be willing to pay for them .Mistakes can be very valuable, but when you try to get others to pay for your mistakes, then you lose the chance to learn from them. When something goes wrong, its usually very easy to find someone elses mistakes, but is that useful?Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they need a cost that must be paid. The person who learns the most from a mistake is the one who pays the price for that mistake.When you make a mistake, what you shouldnt do is to run away from it. You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it. The mistake has been made, so make the most of it. Pay the price, learn the lesson, and grow that much stronger.When you make a mistake, dont look back at it long. Remember the causes , and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The present is still in your power.
