完形填空。
One Saturday afternoon,my daughter Alice asked me, "Are all people the same even if the yare different
in color?"
I thought for a minute,and then I said, "I'll explain, if you can just wait until we make a quick 1 in
the supermarket. I have something 2 to show you."
In the supermarket, we bought some apples-red, green and yellow ones. Back home, I told Alice, "It's
time to 3 your question." I put one apple of each type on the table. Then I looked at Alice, who had a
4 look on her face.
"People are like apples. They come in all different colors, shapes and sizes. On the outside,some of the
apples may not 5 look as the others." As I was talking, Alice was 6 each one carefully.
Then, I took each of the apples and peeled (削皮) them, placing them back on the table, but on a
different place.
"Okay, Alice, tell me which is which."
She said, "I 7 tell. They all look the same now." "Take 8 of each one. See if that helps you
decide which one is which."
She took big bites,and then a huge smile came across her face, "People are just like apple! They are all
different, but once you 9 the outside,they're pretty much the same on the inside."
She totally 10 it, I didn't need to say or do anything else.
