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 1 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(被禁止的) fruit in the Garden of Eden, however, a girl named Eve stole and ate it. Unfortunately, she was discovered by God, and was driven away from the Garden together with a boy called Adam. After they left the garden, Adam and Eve had their own babies and became the ancestors(祖先) of all of us. This is the 2 of our world.

    In the Autumn of 1665, there was 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. 3 this, Newton discovered gravitation(引力) on that day and his new idea of science made people really surprised and happy, also he changed our opinions about nature and the way we think, then people began to 4 what science was at that time.

    And today, Jobs Steve, this crazy old man changed the world by his apple products. For example, iPhones can be found 5 in the street. Young people feel cool when they use this kind of new high-tech(技术) product. Don't you think that 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. 6 he has died, people remember him and miss him. It is because he made our life more colorful and amazing.

    Have you ever wondered what an American high school and its students are really like?

    A typical (典型的) American high school has several large buildings and enough s for about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are e, students would rather borrow than buy them. Students must pay back if they lose any of them.

    American students have different types of school t. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing grades in the class and also pass their state driver's exam, they can begin driving t to school.

    Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, maths, English and social studies. They can choose art, homemaking, fashion design and other classes. In some schools students are required to take one or more of the following special classes: health education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students m to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a short break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.
