       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．  71   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．  72   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．

       73   The trees there produce nearly five billion apples every year—one apple for every man, woman and child in the whole world．

       74   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”．However, “in apple-pie order” usually has the same meaning as “in good order”．  75   In fact, it’s another saying about “compare two things that can’t be compared”．

       A．The state of Washington is proud of its apples．

       B．Apples play an important part in people’s health．

       C．There are many stories and sayings about apples．

       D．Perhaps this is why “New York” is often called “Big Apple” by some people．

       E．The apples in France are better than those in America．

    F．Many people like to carry apples to work or to school to eat with their lunches．

       G．It is likely that you hear about “compare apples and oranges”

    Surtsey Was born in  1963.  Scientists  saw the birth of this island.  It began at 7.30 a.m.  on 14th November. A fishing boat was near Iceland. The boat moved under the captain's (船长) feet.He noticed a strange smell. He saw some black smoke. A volcano was breaking out. Red-hot rocks, fire and smoke were rushing up from the bottom of the sea. The island grew quickly. It was 10 meters high the next day and 60 meters high on 18th November. Scientists flew there to watch it. It was exciting. Smoke and fire were still rushing up.

       When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，“Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault；the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.

Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.

This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.
