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 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.

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

It’s good for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions:
Put a smoke alarm in the house. If there is smoke from a fire, the alarm will make a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to run out of the house at once.
Make escape (逃脱) plans. They should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out.
Buy fire extinguishers (灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should learn to use them correctly.
Practise for a fire. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:
* Don’t open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly when opening the door.
* Stay close to the floor! The best air is near the floor because smoke rises(上升).
* What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don’t run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make
the fire go out. Put a blanket around you to keep air away from the fire.
