Long long ago when the world just started, apple was a forbidden 27　 in the Garden of Eden, however, a girl named Eve stole and ate it. Unfortunately, she was discovered by God, and was driven away 28　 the Garden together with a boy called Adam. After they 29 the garden, Adam and Eve had their own babies and 30　 the ancestors of all of us. This is the 31 of our world.

In the Autumn of 1665, there 32　 a young man sitting under an apple tree in his garden. His name was Newton. While he was thinking of one problem, suddenly, an apple dropped down from the tree and fell on his head. 33　 this, Newton discovered gravitation(引力) on that day and his new idea of science made people really 34　 and happy, also he changed our opinions about nature and the way 35　 we think, then people began to 36 what science was at that time.

And today, Jobs Steve, this crazy old man changed the world by his apple products. For example, iPhones 37 be found 38　 in the street, young people feel cool when they use this kind of new high-tech（技术） product. Don’t you think 39　 apple products have become a symbol of our time? As Jobs Steve often said he was born to change the world and he made it. 40　 he has died, people remember him and miss him, because he made our life more colorful and amazing.
