But there are 1apples that are especially important to the history of our human beings and they have changed the whole world.Long long ago when the world just started, apple was a forbidden(被禁止的) fruit in the Garden of Eden, however, a girl named Eve stole and ate it. Unfortunately, she was discovered by God, and was driven away from the Garden together with a boy called Adam. After they left the garden, Adam and Eve had their own babies and became the ancestors(祖先) of all of us. This is the 2of our world.In the Autumn of 1665, there was a young man sitting under an apple tree in his garden. His name was Newton. While he was thinking of one problem, suddenly, an apple dropped down from the tree and fell on his head. 3this, Newton discovered gravitation(引力) on that day and his new idea of science made people really surprised and happy, also he changed our opinions about nature and the way we think, then people began to 4what science was at that time.And today, Jobs Steve, this crazy old man changed the world by his apple products. For example, iPhones can be found 5in the street. Young people feel cool when they use this kind of new high-tech(技术) product. Dont you think that apple products have become a symbol of our time?

If you cant remember, then you can get the chance this Fathers Day on June 18.Generally compared to a mothers gentle love, a father represents (代表) qualities like independence (独立), confidence, courage and adventure.Also, a caring father can help their children get along with others, according to a study on Live Science. Fathers not only lead their children into their social circle but also teach them how to act and control their feelings.For example, Microsoft founder Bill Gates was quiet and didnt like to talk with others when he was a little kid. So his father often held family parties and let Bill play games with family members. Games like soccer and swimming seemed to be silly at that time but they improved my ability of leading and cooperating（合作）, Gates once said in an interview with US Fortune magazine.US actor Will Smith learned important lessons from small things taught by his father. His father once planned to pull down a wall of their shop and rebuild it. But little Will thought it was impossible. After a year and a half, they did it. You dont try to build a wall. You are going to lay a brick (砖) every day. And soon you have a wall, he said on TV show Charlie Rose (查理罗斯访谈录).One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters, British poet George Herbert (1593-1632) once said. Do you agree?（1）Which of the following belongs to a fathers qualities? A . Independence, confidence, courage and gentle love.B . Confidence, courage, adventure and gentle love.C .

Bill Gates liked parties very much when he was young.C . Soccer and swimming were popular a long time ago.D . A child should be quiet no matter where he or she is.（3）What does the sentence One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters mean? A . The growth of a child needs 100 schoolmasters.B . One father is more important than 100 schoolmasters.C . A father plays an important role in kids growingD . Schoolmates mean nothing to a childs growth18. （6分） There are over 800 boarding (寄宿) schools in the UK with students from home and foreign countries. Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.What to doIn the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They cant go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “light out” time. So when its time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.What to wearNearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict._In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always self-service for salad (沙拉), other side dishes and a dessert. Students can also make themselves something to eat at any time in a kitchen, or drink tea or have a snack between meals.（1）Which of the following is TRUE according to (根据) the passage?A .
