    　　Several months ago Iwas racing to fcatcb angty A’s I breathlessly put my handfrul of cash acrlss the Greyhound ckunths the sales ager said with a brond smile．Oh that bus lsft rive minrtes ago Dreams of head cutting

    　　It’s not the news thst makes ,someone angry It’s the unsympathetic attitrde with which it’s delivered Everyone must give bad mews from time to time ,and winning professilnalas di it ‘swith the prope attitude A doctor advising a paticnt she needs an operation dose it in a caring way Aboss infonning an employee he didn’t get job takes on a sympathetic tone Big winners know ,when delivering ang ban news they should share th feeling of the receiver．

    　　Today we will talk about expressions with “apple”．“Apple pie order” means very well organized．Nobody is sure when and where this expression began．It is said that the women of New England loved to have everything in its place, especially when they were making apple pie．

    　　Another expression “apple of discord” describes the opposite condition．The ancient story says that all the gods and goddesses were celebrating a marriage when Discord, one of the gods, threw a golden apple on the table which was to be given as a prize to the most beautiful goddess．How could they choose among Juno, Minerva and Venus? When Paris decided to give the golden apple to Venus, Juno and Minerva were very angry and threatened(威脅)him．This began the long Trojan War．

    　　Calling a tomato “a love apple” was a mistake．In the sixteenth century, Spain imported the tomato from South America to Morocco, and then Italian businessmen took it to Italy．The Italian name for the tomato was pomo di Moro－apple of the Moors(荒野)．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．“An apple a day keeps the doctor away．” Another belief is based on fact．“One rotten apple spoils the barrel．” The expression has come to mean that one bad person in a group can cause everyone to act badly．

    (1)

    A．

    Apple pie order．

    [　　]

    A．

    Discord is the name of a god．

    B．

    Di Moro means love in Italian．

    “Apple pie order” means very well organized．

    D．

    Many people believe apples can keep them healthy．

     Three armed robbers stole two Pablo Picasso prints from an art museum in downtown Sao Paulo on Thursday, which was the city's second high-profile art theft in less than a year. The bandits also took two oil paintings by well-known Brazilian artists Emiliano Di Cavalcanti and Lasar Segall, said Carla Regina, a spokeswoman for the Pinacoteca do Estado museum.

    The Picasso prints stolen were "The Painter and the Model" from 1963 and "Minotaur, Drinker and Women" from 1933, according to a statement from the Sao Paulo Secretary of State for Culture, which oversees the museum. The prints and paintings have a combined value of $612,000, the statement and a museum official said.

    About noon, three armed men paid the $2.45 entrance fee and immediately went to the second-floor gallery where the works were being exhibited, bypassing more valuable pieces, authorities said. "This indicates to us that they probably received an order" to take those specific works, Youssef Abou Chain, head of Sao Paulo's organized crime unit, told reporters at a news conference. The assailants overpowered three unarmed museum guards and grabbed the works, officials said. The robbery took about 10 minutes and the museum was nearly empty at the time. The assailants took the pieces — frames and all — out of the museum in two bags. The institution has no metal detectors.

    In December, Picasso's "Portrait of Suzanne Bloch" and "O Lavrador de Cafe" by Candido Portinari, an influential Brazilian artist, were stolen from the Sao Paulo Museum of Art by three men who used a crowbar（鐵撬棍）and car jack to force open one of the museum's steel doors. The framed paintings were found Jan. 8, covered in plastic and leaning against a wall in a house on the outskirts of Sao Paulo, South America's largest city. One of the suspects in that robbery — a former TV chef — turned himself over to police in January, who already had two suspects in custody（監(jiān)禁）.

    56. What did the armed men steal on Thursday?

    A. Two prints by Pablo Picasso

    B. Two oil painting by Brazilian artists

    C. Two prints by Pablo Picasso and two oil paintings by two Brazilian artists.  

    D. Two prints by two Brazilian artists and two oil paintings by Picasso Pablo.  

    57. Why didn't the thieves take other more valuable works?  

    A. Because they didn't know that the other pieces were worth more.  

    B. Probably because they had received an order for the prints that they took.  

    C. Because they didn't have enough time.

    D. Because they were in such a hurry that they couldn’t get them all.  

    58. How many people were in the museum during the robbery?  

    A. A lot. The museum was crowded.  

    B. Not too many. It was almost empty.  

    C. There were a lot of people outside the museum.  

    D. Only three of them.  

    59. According to the passage, which of the followings is TRUE?

    A. In December, "Portrait of Suzanne Bloch" and "O Lavrador de Cafe" painted by Candido Portinari were stolen.  

    B. There are steel doors and no detectors in Sao Paulo Museum of Art.  

    C. Three robbers defeated three armed museum guards and took away the works on Thursday.

    D. Three suspects in the first high-profile art theft in less than a year were arrested.

         New archaeological discovers suggest that trade between Europe and Asia along the Silk Road probably
    began in some form many countries earlier than once thought. The findings, coupled with a widening range
    of scientific and historical research could add a fascinating new page to the epic of the Silk Road.
         The latest and most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of and Egyptian mummy from
    about 1000 BC, long before regular traffic on the Silk Road and at least one thousand years before silk was
    previously thought to be used in Egypt. Other research may extend human activity along this route back even
    further, perhaps a million years to the migration of human ancestors into eastern Asia.
         The official origin of East-West commerce along the road is usually placed in the late 2nd century BC
    which was the agent of the Chinese Emperor Wu-di returned from a dangerous secret mission (使命) across
    the desert into the remote high country of Central Asia. The agent, Zhang Qian, travelled as far as Afghanistan
    back knowledge of even more distant lands such as Persia, Syria and a place known as Lijien, perhaps Rome.
    Historians have called this one of the most important journeys in ancient times. His journey opened the way
    for what have been thought to be the first indirect contacts between the ancient world's two superpowers,
    China and Rome. Chinese silk, first traded to central Asian tribes for war horses and to the Parthians of old
    Persia in exchange for acrobats and ostrich eggs, was soon finding its way through a network of merchants
    to the luxury markets in Rome.
         But the new discoveries show that Chinese silk was apparently present in the West long before the Han
    emperor started organized trade over the Silk Road. The research could change thinking about the early history
    of world trade and provide insights into the mystery of just how and when Europe and the Mediterranean lands
    first became aware of the glorious culture at the other end of Eurasia.
    1. The word "coupled" in the first paragraph could best be replaced by _____.
    A. produced
    B. contributed
    C. doubled
    D. combined
    2. The silk thread found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy suggests that _____.
    A. Egyptians had probably travelled to China to buy silk
    B. trade along the Silk Road began earlier than once thought
    C. historical research often achieves fascinating results
    D. new light can now be thrown on ancient trading practices
    3. Until recently most historians believed that trade along the Silk Road _____.
    A. originated in the 2nd century BC
    B. extended human migration into eastern Asia
    C. began a million years ago
    D. primarily benefited the Egyptians
    4. Historians have always considered Zhang Qian's mission important because they believe _____.
    A. be brought back knowledge of Rome to the emperor
    B. be discovered the Silk Road
    C. be helped establish East-West trade
    D. be travelled as far as Afghanistan
