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

China launched (发射) the Shenzhou ⅫⅠ spaceship on October 16, 2021. Zhai Zhigang, Wan Yaping and Ye Guangfu will spend six months inside the Tiangong space station. They carried out the lastest Shenzhou ⅫⅠ mission. It will be the longest space journey by Chinese astronauts. Have you ever dreamed of becoming an astronaut like them? How did they get there?

Health is important. To be an astronaut, you need to be very healthy. Good eyesight, a strong heart and lungs are important. You'd better not have other small problems. For example, a decayed tooth (龋齿) could get worse in space and bring trouble to astronauts. You can't have scars (伤疤) either. They may split (裂开) in space.

Become stronger with hard training. In China, you must be a great pilot before you can be an astronaut. You must fly more than 600 hours without accidents. You'll start training when you become backup (预备的) astronaut. It's very difficult. For example, you need to build your muscles as strong as professional athletes by running, swimming and doing pull-ups. You will also wear a 200-kilogram suit and so tasks underwater for six or seven hours without eating or going to the toilet. This is like doing tasks during a spacewalk.

Learn science. Knowledge is important as well. Astronauts take 60 courses to get ready for a mission, including math, English, spacecraft design, physics and so on. So they will know what to do when emergencies (紧急情况) happen during the mission.

How long will the astronauts stay in space this time?

 阅读短文及文后A~E选项,选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项。

Scientists have found fossils of animals with tails since hundreds of millions of years ago. Back then, early fish used their tails as fins(鳍)to swim through oceans, and run away from enemies. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Scientists believe that dinosaurs used their tails to balance their heavy heads and bodies while they walked. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Similarly, kangaroos use their tails for balance. But their tail also works as their third powerful leg, it can help push them forward. In addition, a monkey's tail can also act like a hand, helping it to hold onto tree branches. 

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}But their roles are quite different. Most tailed insects use their tails to lay eggs. Birds use their tails to balance while sitting on trees. They also use tails to control directions. For many birds, a spread and raised tail is part of the lover-finding show. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Male ones will spread their colorful tails to attract female ones. 

Besides, animal that live in groups, like wolves, use different tail position to show their rank. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Scientists believe those tails disappeared around 20 million years ago. Once they started walking upright, we lost them because we had no use for them anymore. 

A. Although humans don't have long tails like monkeys, we did have tails!

B. As the fish walked onto the land, their tails started to change too. 

C. This helped them run fast enough to catch and kill other animals. 

D. Many insects also have tails. 

E. Take peacocks for example.
