For thousands of years, man has enjoyed the taste of apples. Apples, which are about 85 percent water, grow almost everywhere in the world but the hottest and coldest areas (地区). Among the leading countries in apple production are China, France and the United States.
There are various kinds of apples, but a very few make up the majority of those grown for sale. The three most common kinds grown in the United States are Delicious, golden Delicious, and McIntosh.
Apples are different in colour, size, and taste. The colour of the skin may be red, green, or yellow. They have various sizes, with Delicious apples being among the largest. The taste may be sweet or tart (酸的). Generally, sweet apples are eaten fresh while tart apples are used to make applesauce (苹果酱).
Apple trees may grow as tall as twelve metres. They do best in areas that have very cold winters. Although no fruit is yielded during the winter, this cold period is good for the tree.

完形填空
The British love to think of themselves as polite, and everyone knows how fond they are of their “pleases” and “thank yous” . Even the simplest business such as buying a train ticket requires 1 seven or eight of these. Another 2 of our good manners is the queue. New-comers to Britain could be forgiven for thinking that queuing rather than football was the 3 national sport. Finally, of course, motorists generally stop at crossings. But does all this mean that the British should consider themselves more polite than their European neighbors ? I think not.
Take forms of address (称呼)for example. The average English person— 4 he happens to work in a hotel or department store—would rather die than call a stranger “Sir” or “Madam” . Yet in some European countries this is the most basic of common address. Our 5 “you” for everyone may appear more democratic, but it means that we are forced to seek out complicated ways to express 6 . I am all for returning to the use of “thee” and “thou”Thee and thou are old-fashioned poetic words for “you”); “you”would be 7 for strangers and professional relationships.
And of course, the English find touching and other shows of friendship truly terrifying. Have you noticed how the British 8 ever touch ? Personally, I find the Latin habits of shaking hands or a friendly kiss quite charming. Try kissing the average English person, and they will either take two steps backwards in horror ; or, if their escape is 9 , you will find your lips touching the back of their head. Now what could be 10 than that ?
