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 (甜点) , 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.

But that's not her way. Five years after losing her vision, Clements is back doing what she loves.
"It is long, Kathy," Clements says, running her hands down the length of her client's hair. Kathy Braga
is letting it grow. It now hangs below her shoulders and down her back, and all she wants is a trim(修剪), so she asks Clements to show her how much an inch would be. Clements pulls a ruler from a drawer and
holds it up to Braga's hair in front near her face. "Right here. An inch will be right here at your chin."
Clements was in this career for about 10 years before losing her vision. Now, when she begins cutting,
it's easy to forget that Clements is completely blind. She carefully compares the length of each strand of
hair. Though confident of her sense of touch, she at times asks her client to be her eyes and check her
work.
After a careful inspection, Braga gives her approval. And after Clements blows her hair dry, she
remarks, "You made me younger. I love it."
Clements had been doing Braga's hair for years before she became blind. Braga is proud to say she
was Clements' first customer after she lost her vision.
"She sat me in the kitchen. It was dark, and she said ,' Are you ready?' I said, 'I'm ready.' And that is
when she took this thing, and she said, ' Look and see if there is hair on the ground,' and I said ,' Yes,
there is .' And she said, 'Okay, I have the right end of the thing."
Clements was 42 years old when she suffered a pulmonary embolism (肺栓塞) that cost her sight.
"I was dead for 20 minutes first and then half an hour, and the lack of oxygen killed my optical(视觉的)
nerve." The last thing Clements remembered that day was the ambulance coming to get her. "I couldn't
breathe. The next thing I remembered was waking up three days later, blind, in the hospital."
Her ribs(肋骨)had been broken, when they treated her. Her shoulder was dislocated. She had to
undergo nine months of physical treatment.
"It was the hardest time in my life," she says. "Everything changed in my life: distance, smell, and
sound. My kids didn't sound the same. My husband didn't sound the same too. I didn't know my home.
It took me three months to find the coffee table."
Once a month, a teacher from the Virginia Center for the Blind came to her home in Woodbridge,
about 40 kilometers from Washington. But Clements was eager to learn more. So in 2008, she left her
husband and sons, to go to the Virginia School for the Blind in Richmond for a nine-month program. "My
plan was to be able to do for my family again, to do what I like to do, cook, clean, make phone calls."
She learned basic skills like how to walk with a cane, how to listen and how to eat different foods.
There were classes in Braille, computer skills and using different gadgets designed for the blind.
Graduates of the program are expected to leave with not only life skills, but a marketable skill as well.
"My teacher asked me why I wouldn't do hair. I said, ' Hello. Blind. No, no, no.' I was scared to
think I could even do it."
But gradually, Clements gained confidence and by the time she graduated, had styled 100 heads of
hair at the school. "People from headquarters came, people from the library, students, secretaries,
teachers, and friends came. Everybody came and let me do their hair," Clements says.
Three days a week she leaves home to volunteer at the House of Mercy, a Catholic service
organization that provides clothing, food and other support to the poor.
Kellie Ross, executive director of the House of Mercy, remembered when Clements first showed up
with her friend, Kathy Braga, to offer her help.
At first, she had no idea Clements was blind. "As she started to walk I realized she couldn't see, "
Ross recalls. "She could have taken that tragic experience of losing her sight and gone inward, but
instead she used that experience to help other people who are suffering."
Clements says she feels blessed to day, five years after her brush with death. "I thank the Lord every
day for my blindness, because I'm alive," she says. "I could have been dead. I'm alive. I'm healthy, and
that is what matters."

Attempts to understand the relationship between social behavior and health have their origin in history. Dubos (1969) suggested that primitive（原始的）humans were closer to the animals because they, too, relied upon their instincts to stay healthy. Yet some primitive humans recognized a cause and effect relationship between doing certain things and alleviating（减轻）symptoms of a disease or improving the condition of a wound. Since there was so much that primitive humans did not understand about the functioning of the body, magic became an integral component of the beliefs about the causes and cures of health disorders. So it is not surprising that early humans thought that illness was caused by evil spirits. Primitive medicines made from vegetables or animals were invariably used in combination with some form of ritual (礼仪) to drive harmful spirits away from a diseased body.
One of the earliest attempts in the Western world to formulate principles of health care based upon rational thought and rejection of supernatural phenomena is found in the work of the Greek physician Hippocrates. Little is known of Hippocrates who lived around 400 B.C., not even whether he actually authored the collection of books that bears his name. Nevertheless, the writings attributed to him have provided a number of principles underlying modern medical practice. One of his most famous contributions, the Hippocratic Oath, is the foundation of contemporary medical ethics (道德). Among other things, it requires a physician to swear that he or she will help the sick, keep oneself from intentional wrong-doing or harm, and keep secret all matters to keep the doctor-patient relationship.
Hippocrates also argued that medical knowledge should be derived（源自于）from an understanding of the natural sciences and the logic of cause and effect relationships. In this classic thesis, On Airs, Waters, and Places, Hippocrates pointed out that human-being is influenced by the totality of environmental factors: living habits or lifestyle, climate, geography of the land, and the quality of air and food. Interesting enough, concerns about our health and the quality of air, water, and places are still very much written in the twentieth century.
1.The topic of the first paragraph is summarized in ________.
A. the first sentence of the paragraph
B. the second sentence of the paragraph
C. the third sentence of the paragraph
D. the last sentence of the paragraph
2.Why did primitive humans rely on magic in their beliefs about the causes and cures of diseases?
A. Because magic was an inseparable part of their life.
B. Because they had little knowledge about the functioning of the body.
C. Because the diseases were caused by the evil spirits.
D. Because magic must be used in going through the rituals to drive out the evil spirits.
3.Considering Hippocrates’ background, we can see from the second paragraph that ________.
A. he was the forefather of modern medicine
B. experts are sure that the books bearing his name were not written by him
C. he had a rational mind aided by supernatural instincts
D. experts do not know much about him except when and where he lived
4.All of the following are included in the Hippocratic Oath EXCEPT ________.
A. helping patients
B. keeping oneself from harming patients
C. keeping secret all matters to maintain a good relationship with the patients
D. obeying rules for modern medicine practice
5.Which of the following best expressed the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Doctor’s concerns remain unchanged.
B. Medicine comes from nature.
C. Environment affects health.
D. Climate determines lifestyle.
