Apple’s logo is one of the most familiar icons(图标)around the world.

But what’s the story about the Apple logo? The image of the apple is obvious，because that’s the name of the company. What about the bite? The famous story is that the logo shows respect and honour for Alan Turing. He was the father of computer science. He researched artificial intelligence(人工智能)and unlocked German wartime codes(密码). However，after the war，he was put into prison(监狱)，because of his beliefs（信念，信条）. He could not stand the looking down and chose to bite a poisoned apple to end his life in the prison.

However，Rob Janoff，who designed the famous Apple logo，said，“It’s not the truth, but only a legend. The real reason why I designed it with a bite is very simple. I wanted people to get that it was an apple not a cherry. When I go to markets to buy apples，I always mistake apples for cherries. It really has nothing to do with the scientist. ”

Are you kidding? An apple is much bigger than a cherry. It’s very easy to tell. But if you use an apple to design a logo, some people may mistake it for a cherry.

1.Both the apple and the cherry are almost the same actually in________.

A. shape　　 　　　　 B. size　　 　　　　 C. colour 　　　　 D. weight

2.According to the passage，Alan Turing________.

A. died in the prison

B. used an apple to design a logo

C. was put into prison during the war

D. was the father of a computer company

3.What’s the purpose of writing the passage about the apple logo?

B. To tell us a legend （传说）about it.

C. To try to find the truth of it.

D. To explain its market research.

Mr White’s family decided to repair their home. Mr White bought the home two and a half years ago. Since the kids were growing up, he and his wife wanted to make some changes to the house.

They decided to knock down their living room wall to open up the space. When the wooden walls were removed, they were shocked to find a lizard stuck in the small space between the walls. The lizard’s foot was stuck(插入) by a nail, which was hammered(钉) from the other side of the wall.

Mrs White reminded him that they hammered a nail to hang up their kids photo. However, they questioned how the lizard had stayed alive so long without moving from that place. So Mr White stopped his work and watched the lizard: what has it been doing? What and how has it been eating? Later, he didn’t know from where another lizard appeared carrying food to the stuck lizard’s mouth. That was a real surprise! This act was heartwarming, and he was moved deeply by the little animal. The free lizard had been feeding the stuck one for more than two years! The lizard carried the hope of survival, even in a difficult situation.

Both lizards had never-ending hope for each other and carried their hearts with love and care. Such love, a beautiful love!

Food is a major part of every culture. After all, everyone needs to eat! But each country has its own traditions on what people eat and when.

Egypt

Egyptians commonly start the day with a drink, sometimes going with bread. Breakfast can be eaten any time after this but before the day’s main meal. In the past, this main meal was served at around 3:00 p.m. But now people work longer hours and eat when they get home at around 6:00 p.m. Dinner parties are held later, around 9:00 p.m.

Most Egyptian meals include bread or ice, cooked vegetables and beans or meat.

France

France is known for its fine cooking, and its people take food seriously. Most eat three meals a day at fixed times and never snack between meals. Breakfast is a light meal of bread and coffee. They eat lunch at around 1:00 p.m. and a dinner with multiple courses after 8:00 p.m.

The French consider eating a social activity. Eating alone is hard to see, and eating while doing something else is unheard-of. The French take time to enjoy their meals and visitors should do the same.

Brazil

Like the French, Brazilians usually eat a light breakfast. Lunch, the largest meal of the day, usually consists of meat, rice, potatoes, beans and vegetables. Between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., people enjoy a smaller meal with their families.

Brazilians don’t mind eating a hurried or light meal and sometimes buy food from street carts (手推车). But they always finish eating before walking away.

The United States

American’s ancestors came from many countries, so American eating habits differ. Some take time to prepare and eat a hot breakfast. Others take a bagel (面包圈) while rushing out the door or just skip breakfast. For lunch, most Americans eat a sandwich or leftovers. Traditionally, families got together for a large evening meal around 6:00, but now busy schedules force many families to eat in turns. American restaurant servings tend to be huge. But you don’t have to finish them; taking leftovers home is common.

1.People of Egypt usually start a day with ________.

A. a drink　 　　　　　　　 B. a bagel

C. some meat 　　　　　　 D. some vegetables

2.In which country do people consider lunch the largest meal?

A. Egypt.　 　　　　　　　　 B. France.

C. Brazil. 　　　　　　　　 D. The United States.

3.The underlined phrase “skip breakfast” means________.

A. cook breakfast　　 　　 B. enjoy breakfast

C. not have breakfast　　 D. not serve breakfast

4.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Life styles.　　 　　 　 B. Eating habits.

C. Delicious food.　　　　 D. Restaurant culture.

阅读下面的四篇短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。

I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic phone, in the other a toy broom. I listened as she was speaking to her imaginary friend and I'll never forget the words she said, even though it was pretend(假装).

She said, "Suzie's in the corner because she's not been very good. She didn't listen to a word I said or do the things she should." In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink. It was obvious she'd been put there to sit alone and think.

My daughter continued her "conversation,"　 as I sat down on the floor. She said, "I'm all fed up, I just don't know what to do with her anymore. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too. She never lets me do the things that I just have to do.

She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot reach and she doesn't know how to fold towels. I don't have the energy to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don't have the time to sit and play. Don't you know what I mean?"

And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life, as I listened to her innocent(天真的) words that cut me like a knife. I hadn't been paying enough attention to what I hold most dear.

But now my attitude has changed, because, in my heart, I realize I've seen the world in a different light through my little darling's eyes. So, let the cobwebs (蜘蛛网) have the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor, I'm not going to worry about keeping up with them　 anymore .

I'm going to fill the house with memories of a child and her mother, for we have only one childhood, and we will never get another.

1. What was the little girl doing with her doll?

A. She was dressing up her doll.

B. She was playing the doll with her friend Suzie.

C. She was talking to her mother.

D. She was punishing her doll.

2.How did mother feel when she heard the “conversation”?

A. Worried.　　 　　　　　 B. Regretful.

C. Disappointed.　　　 　 D. Sad.

3.What can we learn from this passage?

A. The mother shouldn’t blame her daughter.

B. The mother should spend enough time with her daughter.

C. The mother shouldn’t carry responsibilities that many.

D. The mother should pay attention to her daughter’s words.
