For thousands of years, man has enjoyed the taste of apples. Apples, which are about 85 percent water, grow almost everywhere in the world but the hottest or coldest areas. Among the leading countries in apple production are China, France and the United States.

   There’re different kinds of apples, but a very few make up the majority(大多数) of those grown for sale. The three most common kinds grown in the United States are Delicious, Golden Delicious and Mclntosh.

   Apples are different in color, size and taste. The color of the skin may be red, green or yellow. They are of different size, with Delicious apples being among the largest. The taste may be sweet or tart(酸). Generally, sweet apples are eaten fresh while tart apples are used to make applesauce(苹果酱).

阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。

　　    When Mrs. Joseph George died recently in Vienna, Austria,people asked "Why did she live to 107?" Answers were supplied by a survey ( 调查) held among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority (大多数) had lived most of their lives in cities. In spite of the city's image (形象) as an unhealthy place, city living often supplies benefits that country living can lack (缺少). One fact seems to be important to those interviewed. This fact is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distance than to wait for a bus. Even taking a bus often requires some walking.Smaller apartment houses have no elevators (电梯) and so people living there must climb stairs. City dwellers (居民) can usually walk to supermarkets, since parking spaces are hard to find.

　　     On the other hand, those who live in the country do not have to walk every day. In fact, to go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.
