    The Highland Apple

    　　Young, an orchard (果园) owner on the highland (山地) in New Mexico, once said, “Do you want to be a useful man to society? If you do so, try to think hard. It' s very important.” Every year Young would box apples and deliver (递送) them to buyers. Different from others was his advertisement (广告), which said, “Unsatisfied after receiving the apples, let us know by letters. Apples don't need sending back, and we'll pay for a loss. ” The advertisement did attract (吸引) lots of buyers. They were satisfied for the apples on the highland tasted delicious.

    　　One year a heavy hailstone (冰雹) attacked (侵袭) the orchard, and after that, the big red apples hanging heavy on the trees were covered all over with scars (疤痕) . Looking at the apples with scars, Young sighed (叹息). “It' s all up now, I have got to pay for a loss. ”Young thought long and hard and could find no way out. He happened to take up an apple and began to eat it. The apple, juicy (汁浓) and refreshing (爽口), tasted good. Only it was not good looking.

    　　One night, a wonderful idea flashed across his mind, out of bed he jumped excitedly. He made up his mind to deliver the apples to the buyers.

    The buyers received the apples. The moment they opened the box, they found a piece of paper in each box. It said, “Every apple has a scar hit by hailstone. But have a good look, please. The scar is the special mark of the apples produced on the highland. The apple has a wonderful taste. ”

    　　The buyers tried the apples half believing, half doubting. Almost at once, they let out of a cry, “Aha, delicious! The special highland taste! ”

    Young succeeded. After that some buyers specially (特殊地) asked Young to sell them apples with scars.

    阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。（每空一词）

    One of the most powerful tools you can use to improve your reading comprehension is mind mapping. It is possible to create maps by simply using a pen and paper.

    The first step is to draw a circle or box at the center of the page. Inside your shape write down the main idea that your mind map will focus upon. For example , if you were creating a mind map about the geography of the United States , then you would write down “the geography of the United States” in the middle of your page inside your circle.

    Next you draw branches from your central idea. Much like a tree grows branches . Simply draw a line moving away from the central theme. In the case of the geography of the United States , you would probably draw 50 lines. Each line represents one of 50 states. These are the main categories(分类) with your primary concept（概念）.

    Each of lines can then have branches off of each. These would represent the main example under each category. For example , under the line titled, “ Texas,” you would find lines called Austin, Houston, and Dallas, you might draw a series of lines to represent some of its main sections like “ South Dallas” and “ Highland Park” .

    You continue to draw your mind map much like the structure of branches on a tree. Mind map helps improve your comprehension because they enable you to quickly see relationships between main ideas, categories , examples, and details that might otherwise be missed if you use more traditional note taking strategies(策略).
