One day, Mr. Smith took a plastic(塑料的)apple to class. He stood in front of the classroom and said, "Please smell the smell(闻气味)in the air!”

One student put up his hand and answered, "I have smelled it. It is the smell of an apple."

Mr. Smith walked to the students, passed by each of them and said, "Please smell again to see if the smell of the apple is still in the air."

Half of the students put up their hands to show that they could smell it. Mr. Smith returned to the front of the classroom and asked again if the students could smell the apple. Everyone said yes but one student, Henry. Mr. Smith went to him and asked," You really can't smell the apple?"

Henry answered,“No, I can't smell it. I don't think it's a real(真的)apple."

Mr. Smith smiled and said to the class, "He is right! This is not a real apple. It doesn't have any smell."

Spiff was an elf(精灵)living at the North Pole. He worked hard all year to make toys. When autumn arrived, Spiff got very busy in Santa's workshop. He had to work very late into the night to make sure the toys would be ready for Christmas Eve.

One day, Spiff looked at pictures of Florida on the Internet after lunch. "I really need a vacation," Spiff said. Sif's friend Blip looked at the computer screen. "Why would you want to go to Florida?" he asked. "I would like to see what Christmas is like in a place where it doesn't snow. "It snows everywhere on Christmas," said Blip, "I don't think that's true," said Spiff. "They have palm trees in Florida, and palm trees(棕榈树)only grow in warm places. " I don't believe you. Prove(证明)it! "said Blip." "I will! "

On Christmas Eve, Spiff climbed into a bag full of toys and took a ride on Santa's sleigh(雪橇). Spiff looked out of the bag as Santa's sleigh flew high. Soon they arrived in Florida. Spiff was very excited. The air around him felt warm. Santa guided his sleigh toward a small, blue house. There was no snow, but there were beautiful lights in the Christmas tree. "I knew it! " Spiff said. He quickly took a photo to prove that it was possible to have a wonderful Christmas anywhere in the world, even if there was no snow.
