If the rose can be said to be a special flower， then the apple can be said to be a special fruit. 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(圣經(jīng)) 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 it’s 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.

D. A machine for cleaning apples quickly.

2.“An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a proverb about ____________.

翻譯語篇 （5小題，計10分）

What are magic words? Words like ‘thank you’, ‘please’ and ‘sorry’ can work wonders

in our daily life. These polite expressions are used every day in American—among

strangers, between friends or with family. People with good manners always communicate with others well by using these magic words.

What should you do when you receive a gift for your birthday? You’d better sit down

and write a thank-you letter. The words ‘ thank you’ are very important and used very often. We say them when someone hands us a letter, passes us a book, offers us a bottle of water, or lends us an umbrella.

“請”是另一個重要的詞，但是很多人忘記去使用它. It is not polite to ask someone for help without saying ‘please’. We are supposed to use it when we ask for something, too. It may be a book, a pen, or more milk. It may be in the classroom, at home, or at the bus stop. We can use ‘please’ to make a. request.

We should also learn to say sorry.如果我們已經(jīng)傷害了某個人的感情，我們應該說“對不起”.When we have told a lie and regret it, the same word should be used. Sometimes

we have forgotten something or broken a promise, so we need to explain with the word as a beginning. ‘Sorry’ is such a word that can make people forget wrongs

‘Thank you! Please! Sorry!’—these words are simple but useful. Man said them long ago. We use them now. So will our kid.
