      Do you know the expression “applepie order”？

It means in perfect order,or very well organized

Nobody is sure where and when the expression applepie order^w began. Some say that Scottish and English writers used the expression a long time ago. Others say it was first used in the northeastern American states known as New England.

      The housewives of New England cut their apples in even slices (均勻薄片).Then they filled pie pans (平底鍋) with them m an organized way — row upon row. As one writer said,the women of New England loved to have everything in its place. Maybe this explains why it is believed that the expression "applepie order” began in New England.

      At one time,the tomato was called a love apple. That was a mistake. This is how the mistake happened.

      In the sixteenth century,Spain imported (進(jìn)口) the tomato from South America after Spanish Explorers (探險(xiǎn)家) had landed there. Spain then exported the tomato to Morocco. Italian traders carried it on to Italy. The Italian name for the tomato was pomo di Moro — apple of the Moors.

      When French growers imported it from Italy,they thought di Moro meant d’amour,the French word for love. And so pomo di Moro became the apple of love.

      People believe many things about the apple. One belief is that it has great powers of keeping people healthy. A very common expression is “An apple a day keeps the doctor away. ”

      Another belief is based on fact. The expression is “One rotten apple spoils the barrel. ” When an apple begins to go bad,it ruins (毀壞) all the other apples around it in the container. The expression has come to mean that one bad person in a group can cause everyone to act bad.

      Some people make you feel comfortable when they are with you. You spend an hour talking to them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These good talkers have something similar. And once we know what it is,we can try to do it ourselves.

      First of all,good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone,however shy he is,will answer a question. One wellknown businesswoman says ,“At business lunches,I always ask people what they did that morning. It s a common question,but it will get things going. From there you can move on to other matters — sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.

      Second,once good talkers have asked questions,they listen to the answers. Your questions should have a point. This helps to tell what kind of person you are talking to. And to find out,you really have to listen carefully. Real listening at least means some things. It means not to change the subject of conversation very often. If someone sticks to (堅(jiān)持) _one topic,you _canknow that he,s really interested in it. Moreover,real listening also means not just listening to words,but to tones (語調(diào)) of voice. If the voice sounds boring,then,it’s time for you to change the subject

      Finally,good talkers know well how to deal with the moment of leaving. If you⁵re saying goodbye,

you may give him a friendly handshake and say ,“I've really enjoyed meeting you. ” If you want to see that

person again,don⁵t keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel,and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.

() 49. A real listener is a person who.

   A. always makes his voice sound lively   B. never changes the subject of the talk

   C. is good at making any topic interesting   D. knows when they should change the topic

() 50. Which of the following might a good talker say when he is leaving?

   A. “I am looking forward to seeing you again. ”

   B. “What did you do this morning?”

   C. “I think it’s time to go now. Goodbye!”

   D. “The weather is really nice today!”

() 51. If you really feel happy with meeting someone again,.

   A. don't forget to keep it a secret
