Question

完形填空

One afternoon, my son Adam asked me, “Are all people the same even though they are different in color?”

It was a serious question. I for a while, and then said, “I’ll explain it sooner. Let’s go to a fruit shop. I have something interesting to show you.”

At the fruit shop, we bought some apples in different —red, green and yellow ones. After we got home, I told Adam, “It’s time to your question now.” I put one apple of each kind colour on the table. Adam carefully. He had a look on his face.

“People are like apples. They come in all different colors, shapes and sizes. On the , some of the apples may not even look as delicious as .” While I was talking, Adam was each one carefully. Then, I took each of the apples and peeled(削皮) them, placing them back on the , but in a different place.

“Okay, Adam, tell me which is which.”

He said, “I tell. They all look the same now.”

“Take a of each one. See if that helps you decide one is which.”

He took big bites, and then a huge smile came across his face. “People are like apples! They are all different, but once you take off the outside, they’re pretty much the on the inside.”

He totally it. I didn’t need to say or do anything else.
