25、You are probably familiar with the saying：An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A recent research carried out by the Chinese University of Hong Kong may change the saying：An apple a day may keep aging away.

The research chose fruit flies(果蝇), as they share many genes(基因)with humans. The fruit flies were either fed normally or had an apple extract(浓缩物) added to their diet.

It turned out that those fruit flies that were given apple extract lived about 55 days—five days longer than the flies that were normally fed. The research group also found it easier for the flies to walk，climb and move about as they aged.

According to the result, the researchers believed that the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) in the apple extract helped clean up dangerous chemicals(化学物质) that cause illnesses，as well as aging.

In another study，researchers examined diets of thousands of women. They discovered that those who regularly ate apples were 20 percent less likely to suffer heart illnesses and stroke.

The apples’ genetic code(遗传密码) was discovered recently. It allows scientists to develop nicer and healthier fruits. Researchers are already using the information to grow a kind of apples full of antioxidants that can keep eyes and joints healthy and protect humans against heart illnesses and cancer.

Apples that kill the desire(欲望) to eat could also be produced, with the first“extra-healthy’’apples on supermarket shelves within just four or five years.

The team that keeps studying apple DNA includes 100 scientists from five countries. Their research also suggests that around 65 million years ago, when dinosaurs began to die off the plant，which would finally become today’s apple tree, experienced a great genetic change. The number of many of its genes doubled. The extra genes allowed the apple to get used to worse conditions and go through a different development from peaches，strawberries and other related fruits.

【1】Why were fruit flies used for the research?

A. Because they have a similar diet to humans.

B. Because they have a history as long as apples.

C. Because they share a lot of genes with humans.

D. Because they feed on nothing but apple extract.

【2】What result did the researchers find out?

A. Apples produce chemicals that can change human genes.

B. Apples have antioxidants that kill chemicals that cause aging.

C. Apples are rich in vitamins that are needed in humans’ bodies.

D. Apples produce chemicals that make apples taste more delicious.

【3】What happened to apples around 65 million years ago according to the research?

A. Their genes stopped their development as the environment got worse.

B. Their genes became twice in number but they finally died off like dinosaurs.

C. They experienced a great genetic change making them used to worse conditions.

D. They went through a similar development to peaches, strawberries and other related fruits.

【4】What can we infer(推断)from the passage?

A. Eating apples may bring us more advantages than we might believe before.

B. People who have the habit of eating apples don’t need to see a doctor.

C. Apples that kill the desire to eat are already available in supermarkets now.

D. People will eat apples instead of peaches and strawberries from now on.

The Erie Canal was the first important national waterway built in the US. It crossed New York State（州）from Buffalo on Lake Eric to Albany on the Hudson River. It joined the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean.

Over the canal industrial goods（工业产品）could flow into the west, and materials could pour into the east. The Erie Canal helped New York develop into the nation's larges city.

The building of the canal was paid for completely by the state of New York. It cost $7,143,789, but it soon gained its price many times over. Between 1825, when the canal was opened, and 1882, when toll charges（过运河费）were stopped, the state collected $121,461,891.

For a hundred years before the Erie Canal was built, people had been talking about a canal to join the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. The man who planned the Erie Canal and carried the plan through was De Witt Clinton. At that time some people laughingly called it "Clinton's Ditch（沟）". Clinton talked and wrote about the canal and drew up plans for it. He and Governor Morris went to Washington in 1812 to ask for help for the canal, but they were unsuccessful.

Clinton became governor of New York State in 1817, and shortly afterwards, on July 4,1817, broke ground for the canal in Rome of New York State. The first part of the canal was completed in 1820. As the canal grew, towns along its course developed fast. The length of the canal is 363 miles.

27、

I looked at myself in the dressing-room mirror unhappily. I was wearing a white leotard (紧身衣), and a white swim cap that hid most of my hair. I was one of 10 snowflakes (雪花) in our dance in school’s Winter Wonderland show.

“Grandma, I really don’t feel like being in the show,” I said. Grandma Lani looked up from what she was making. “Why, mo‘opuna?” Mo’opuna means “grandchild” in Hawaiian. Grandma Lani has always lived in Hawaii. “You love to dance.” I used to love to dance. But Ms. Tuttle gave the lead role of the Snow Queen to Christine. Christine got to wear a blue leotard and a feathery skirt that spread out like a cloud every time she spun. And she got to do a dance on stage (舞台) all by herself. The snowflakes just had to run and spin to look like a snowstorm. I sighed. “I don’t like our dance. And no one would notice if I wasn’t there. There are so many of us.” “I would notice. So would your parents.” Grandma said.

As Christine walked toward us, Grandma stopped and smiled at her. “What a beautiful costume(服装)!” Christine walked away, her skirt waving behind her. I hung my head. Grandma took my hand. “What’s up?” “And you won’t be able to see me among so many snowflakes,” I whispered.

Grandma was going to speak when something outside the window caught her eye. She took my hand and my coat and pulled me out of the dressing room and through the doors to the outside. It was snowing. Grandma held her breath and I suddenly thought of something.

“Grandma, have you ever seen snow before?” “Never, mo’opuna. In Hawaii, it snows only on the very tops of mountains. ” ①

I had seen snow lots of times, but now I tried to see it differently, like it was new. I saw snowflakes flying through the air in different directions, shining brightly at us. So many snowflakes came together to create something magical.   ②

“Aloha,” Grandma whispered to the sky. Aloha can mean many things, including “love”, “hello”, and “good-bye”. “I don’t know when I’ll see something like that again.” “I do,” I said. I took Grandma Lani’s hand and pulled her back inside. ③

When the stage lights came up and the music started, I spun and ran with all of the other snowflakes. I didn’t care if Grandma Lani could see me. ④

A．The Snow Queen.
