Apple’s logo is one of the most familiar icons(图标) around the world. But what’s the story about the Apple logo? The image of the apple is obvious, because that’s the name of the company. What about the bite? The famous story is that the logo shows respect and honour for Alan Turing. He was the father of computer science. He researched artificial intelligence(人工智能) and unlocked German wartime codes(密码). However，after the war, he was put into prison，because of his beliefs. He could not stand the looking down and chose to bite a poisoned apple to end his life in the prison.
However, Rob Janoff, who designed the famous Apple logo, said, “It’s not the truth, but only a legend(传说, 传奇). The real reason why I designed it with a bite is very simple. I wanted people to get that it was an apple not a cherry (樱桃). When I go to markets to buy apples, I always mistake apples for cherries. It really has nothing to do with the scientist.”
Are you kidding? An apple is much bigger than a cherry. It’s very easy to tell. But if you use an apple to design a logo, some people may mistake it for a cherry. Both the apple and the cherry are almost the same actually in ________.
| A．shape | B．size | C．colour | D．weight |
According to the passage, Alan Turing________.
| A．died in the prison | B．used an apple to design a logo |
| C．was put into prison during the war | D．was the father of a computer company |
What’s the purpose of writing the passage about the apple logo?
| A．To introduce its designer. | B．To tell us a legend about it. |
| C．To try to find the truth of it. | D．To explain its market research. |

Strange，but the green sea turtle is not that green． It’s certainly not as green as a tree． In fact，its shell(壳)is nearly black or brown．The largest hard-shelled sea turtle is between 200 and 300 pounds heavy and a shell is between 36 and 43 inches(英尺)long．But its head is smaller than other turtles．
Little baby green sea turtles are only two inches long．As the turtle grows up，its shell keeps mostly black while the body turns orange or brown．Young turtles like living in the sea，especially in areas with 1ots of sea grasses．
Green sea turtles，like all sea turtles，are very different from land or river turtles．All sea turtles can swim through the water faster．Instead of feet for walking，sea turtles have flippers(鳍状肢)which are better for swimming．The flippers aren’t good on land，however，and walking is hard for a sea turtle because they are usually big and heavy．
One other interesting thing about a sea turtle’s flippers is that they cannot be pulled into their shells．Land turtles can pull their feet into their shells for protection．but a sea turtle can’t．

Louie was crazy about chocolate. He loved having chocolate biscuits for breakfast. He asked his dad to buy all kinds of chocolate cookies for him.
One morning, Louie’s big brother, Ben, said to Louie, “You can’t live without chocolate, can you?” “Of course I can,” said Louie. “But I don’t want to.” “I bet you anything that you can’t live without chocolate for one whole week,” said Ben. Louie stopped eating his chocolate cookies and looked at Ben, “You bet anything? Even your new skateboard?” “Why not?” said Ben. “I’m sure you can’t last seven whole days.” “That’s what you think,” said Louie. And then he put his chocolate cookies into a box.
Monday was easy for Louie. He had porridge for breakfast. On Tuesday he didn’t exchange his yogurt for Anna’s chocolate pudding at lunch. On Wednesday he went to Franco’s birthday party and didn’t eat the chocolate cake. On Thursday, Aunt Irene came to visit with chocolate-chip cookies. “I’m not really hungry,” said Louie. On Friday and Saturday Louie didn’t exchange his apple juice for Josh’s chocolate milk.
Then came Sunday. Louie woke up and found a glass of milk and a pile of chocolate cookies beside his bed. “Go ahead. Enjoy yourself,” said Ben. Louie picked up a piece of chocolate cookie, but then he stopped, “I’m thinking how delicious it will taste tomorrow after I ride my new skateboard,” said Louie. “Oh, no!” cried Ben. “I was so close!”
