My mother stared at him and said to him angrily: “You should learn to give the good things to others; you shouldnt always think of yourself.” Seeing this

23、, I suddenly changed my idea and then said to my mother: “Mum, please give me the smaller one and give the bigger one to my little brother.” Hearing my words, my mother was very happy. She kissed me on my face and gave the reddest and biggest apple to me as a prize. From then on, I learned to tell l

24、ies, fight, steal and rob. In order to get what I wanted, I played hard. As a result, I was sent into prison.The famous man from the White House said: One day, my mother brought some apples. She said to my brother and me: “You all want the reddest and biggest one, right? Well, lets have a competitio

25、n. Now I divided the grassland in front of the gate into two and I will give one to each of you and you must shear(修剪) it well. And I will give the reddest and biggest apple to him who does it the most quickly and best.”After the competition, I won and I got the biggest apple. In our family, as long

26、 as you want to get the best things, you must take part in competition. I think it is fair.

30、apples will lead them to become criminalsBIt's really true what people say about English politeness: it's everywhereWhen squeezing past someone in a narrow aisle, people say "sorry"When getting off a bus, English passengers say "thank you" rather than the driverIn Germany

31、, people would never dream of doing these thingsAfter all, squeezing past others sometimes can't be avoidedand the bus driver is merely doing his jobI used lo think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles and came to appreciate some more polite ways o

32、f communicating with peoplePeople thank each other everywhere in England, all the timeWhen people buy something in a shop, customer and retail assistant in most cases thank each other twice or moreIn Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversationBritish stude

33、nts thank their lecturers when leaving the roomEnglish employers thank their employees for doing their jobs as opposed to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enoughAnother thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize othersEven whe

34、n I was working and mistakes were pointed out to memy employers stressed several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticismIt has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortableThis also is shown in other waysBri

40、hina. The device, listed under model number “A1396”, is compatible（相容的） with the 3G standard WCDMA, and would work with the cellular network operated by Apples local iPhone partner, China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd.China Unicom declined (謝絕) to comment.Apple already offers the 3G iPad2 in Hong Kong thro

41、ugh its partners, but currently only offers Wi-Fi versions of the device in the Chinese mainland. Still, consumers in China, which according to research firm IDC surpassed (超過(guò)) the US as the worlds largest PC market in the second quarter, have been purchasing 3G tablets through unofficial channels.

42、Separately, Apple spokeswoman Carolyn Wu said Sept 6 that the companys first Hong Kong store, set to open this quarter, will be located in the citys central shopping and business district in the International Finance Centers upscale (高檔的) IFC mall, a commercial center and sightseeing spot along the

43、citys waterfront. Wu also said that Apple is planning a new store in Shanghai later this quarter, which will be its biggest store in China. She declined to give more details or to comment on the 3G iPad2.Apple currently has four full-service Apple stores in the mainland, which receive the most traff

44、ic of any Apple stores in the world. The company otherwise relies on resellers to get its products into the market. The new stores reflect Apples confidence in rising demand for its products such as smart phones and tablet computers. Sales in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan helped boost (

45、增長(zhǎng)) the companys third-quarter results, newly appointed Chief Executive Tim Cook said in July. China revenue (收益) surged (激增) six-fold to about $3.8 billion during the three months ended June 25.“This has been a substantial (重大) opportunity for Apple and I firmly believe that were just scratching th

46、e surface right now,” Cook said at the time, referring to strong sales in China. “I see an incredible opportunity for Apple there.”59.

49、ill sell more products and gain more profit in ChinaC. they need to obtain more permission from Chinas governmentD. they ignored the rural market in ChinaDAn idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyondThe concept is simple: help to build a sense of comm

50、unity in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same timeIn addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit（追求） to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families an

51、d schoolsThe idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched（發(fā)起） the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to ma

52、ny other American cities, and even to Hong KongIn Chicago, the mayor（市長(zhǎng)） appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" programAs a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the cityAcross the US,

53、 stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character The only problem came up in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse populationThis may show that the idea works

54、 best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity can be achievedOr it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itselfUltimately, as Nancy points out, the level of

55、 success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word63What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?ATo invite authors to guide readers BTo involve people in community serviceCTo encourage people to read and share DTo promote the friendship between cities64Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?AThey came from many different backgrounds BThey wer
