If the rose can be said to be a special flower， then the apple can be said to be a special fruit. It is very important in American culture. American stories speak of Johnny Appleseed， who went throughout America collecting apple seeds and planting apple trees. He had a great love for nature and went through fields and farms adding richness and beauty to the country.
One of the first sayings taught to school children is， “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This short saying encourages children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy. If someone always says good words to a person， people will call him an “apple polisher”. This， however， is not a good name. If someone is very dear to us， we say that he or she is the “apple of our eye”.
Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple， even though the Bible(圣经) never says so. The apple， therefore， is a deep part of the language and stories of America.
An apple is also delicious. Apples can be cooked in many ways， used as a dessert， and made into sweet juice.
In many parts of the country during the harvest season， a popular activity is to go into an apple garden to pick apples. Washington， D. C. and New York are both famous for their apples.
Finally， when it’s time to take a vacation to American cities， one can always visit New York， which is “the biggest apple” of all the American cities.
What does the underlined phrase “apple polisher” mean?
| A．Something for cutting apples. |
| B．A person who likes to please others. |
| C．A person who is dealing with fruits. |
| D．A machine for cleaning apples quickly. |

There was a man who had a little son. He loved him very much. Every day after work the man would come home and play with the little boy.
When the man came home from work one night， he found that he had some extra work to do. And he wasn’t able to play with his little son. He wanted to give the boy something to keep him busy.

For many people, the Zhijiang Dong autonomous county(自治县), Huaihua city, in Central China’s Hunan province is famous for its role in China’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression(1937-45) and World War II.
Located in the west of Hunan, the county is close to the border with Guizhou province,
and is a well-known transportation hub（中心；中枢）. It also acted as important military base（军事基地） in the fight against the Japanese.
Zhijiang was the home of the American Volunteer Group, or “Flying Tigers”: the
legendary squadron（空军中队） of pilots from the United States that helped the Chinese forces fight the occupiers（侵略者）, and made an impressive contribution to the ultimate（最终的） victory. It was also the first place where representatives（有代表性的） of the Japanese Imperial Army signed a document of unconditional surrender（无条件投降） to China.
The surrender was signed on Aug 21,1945, about three weeks before Yasuji Okamura, the commander-in-chief of Japan’s China Expeditionary Army, signed the Japanese Instrument of Surrender in Nanjing on Sep.9.
“Japan’s surrender in Zhijiang marked the first time in the modern era that Japan was
presented as the loser in a war with China.” said Wu Jianhong, curator（馆长） of the
county’s Memorial Hall of the Victory over Japan.

A school bus is one that is used to take children to and from school.
In the USA, about 450,000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school. The yellow school bus is a US icon (象征). Yellow became the color of school buses in the USA in 1939. Dr. Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in early morning or late afternoon. That would make children safer.
There are not many school buses in Britain, and they are not yellow. They have trackers (追踪器) on them, so kids are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus. The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and whether their kids are on the bus.
Kindergarten (幼儿园) is a difficult time for some kids. It's the first time for them to go away from their parents. To make kids love their school, Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses. The buses can easily make children want to take them--and then, go to school. Even some parents want to take them, too!
