A

One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装).

On September 11th. 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying. “I promised you a gift, and here it is” What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. 1 told it over and over how much I loved it!

One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”, “pitiful”, and “dying”, which sounded ominous.

Christmas was coming. “Don’t expect any presents this year.” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. “If your baby brother lives, that'll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I'd never seen him cry before.

The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say. “What? He's all right? ”He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home! ” “Thank God.” I heard Mum cry.

From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!

Almost everyone likes to eat apples. Apples grow in nearly every part of the world; The United States produces more apples than any other country except France. The states of Washington and New York grow the most apples. Perhaps this is why “New York” is often called “Big Apple” by some people. New York is on the east coast and Washington is on the west near Canada.

Apples are red, yellow or green. They are very popular in the United States. Many people like to carry apples to work or to school to eat with their lunches. Most American people are often too busy or too tired to cook dinner, so they often have their dinners very simply. Apple juice is also a popular drink and apple pie is the favorite sweet dish for many Americans.

The state of Washington is proud of its apples. The trees there produce nearly five billion apples every year—one apple for every man, woman and child in the whole world.

There are many stories and sayings about apples. For example, “You are the apple of my eye.” means “You are actually the one I love best and care most.” In China, it is a custom in some places for the marrying couple to hold an apple in each one’s hand, promising that their marriage will be “safe” without anything bad and that their marriage will never be broken. “To apple polish” often refers to a man who fawns (奉承) on somebody for the purpose of getting some benefits. So you can easily get “apple polisher”. While “in apple-pie order” usually has the same meaning as “in good order”. It is likely that you hear about “compare apples and oranges”. In fact, it’s another saying about “compare two things that can’t be compared”.

25. What can we know from the underlined sentence?

A. American apples taste good. B. We can see apples everywhere in America.

C. Americans like to eat apples. D. Americans regard apples as their best food.

26. From this passage, we know________.

A. France produces the most apples in the world

B. there are more apples in America than in France

C. the apples in France are better than those in America

D. apple trees are not easy to grow in New York

27. Why do the marrying couple hold an apple in each one’s hand in some places of China?

A. Because they like the sweet taste of apples.

B. Because the Chinese apples are wonderful.

C. Because people in China have no opinions of their own.

D. Because it stands for “happiness of marriage”.

28. If you are satisfied with the order of something, you will use the following phrase “_______”.

A. Apple of one’s eye B. To apple polish C. In apple-pie order D. The big apple
