The word that has changed the world

Apple is one of the most popular fruits in our life, and people eat apples every day. But there are  11  apples that are especially important to the history of our human beings and they have changed the whole world.

Long long ago when the world just started, apple was a forbidden  12   in the Garden of Eden, however, a girl named Eve stole and ate it. Unfortunately, she was discovered by God, and was driven away  13   the Garden together with a boy called Adam. After they  14   the garden, Adam and Eve had their own babies and  15   the ancestors of all of us. This is the beginning of our world, history  16   morality.*

In the Autumn of 1665, there  17   a young man sitting under an apple tree in his garden. His name was Newton. While he was thinking of one problem, suddenly, an apple dropped down from the tree and fell on his head.  18   this, Newton discovered gravitation* on that day and his new idea of science made people really  19   and happy, also he changed our opinions about nature and the way  20   we think, then people began to  21  what science was at that time.

And today, Jobs Steve, this crazy old man changed the world by his apple products. For example, iPhones  22  be found  23   in the street, young people feel cool when they use this kind of new high-tech* product. Don’t you think  24   apple products have become a symbol of our time? As Jobs Steve often said he was born to change the world and he made it.  25   he has died, people remember him and miss him, because he made our life more colorful and amazing.
