If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple

Day to see what’s around.It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple

Month.The day itself is on October 21,but since it has caught on,events now spread out

over most of October around Britain.

Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see,and often taste,a wide variety of

apples.To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious

and Royal Gala in supermarkets,it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of

classical apples still in existence,such as Decio which was grown by the

Romans.Although it doesn’t taste of anything special,it’s still worth a try,as is the

knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.

There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions.One of the very

best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette,but you’ll need a warm,sheltered

place with perfect soil to grow it,so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for

it.

At the events,you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit

your conditions,and because these are family affairs,children are well catered for with

apple-themed fun and games.

Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit,including

stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard

experience,try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale,near Faversham in

Kent.

Romans.”可推知,Decio 是以前由罗马人种植的一种苹果,现在的人们能够看到这种

苹果就算是大开眼界了。由此推知现在 Decio 苹果非常罕见。故选 C项。

(2016·全国Ⅲ卷,D)

Bad news sells.If it bleeds,it leads.No news is good news,and good news is no

news.Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.But

now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways,researchers

are discovering new rules.By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts,scientists have

found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.

“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger,a scholar at the

University of Pennsylvania.“They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re

feeling.But when you share a story with your friends,you care a lot more how they

react.You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”

Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails,Web posts and

reviews,face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than

negative(消极的),but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news.Was

positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things

than bad things?To test for that possibility,Dr.Berger looked at how people spread a

particular set of news stories:thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website.He

and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months.One of his first

findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list

than non-science articles.He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them

want to share this positive feeling with others.

Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny,or that inspired

negative feelings like anger or anxiety,but not articles that left them merely sad.They

needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other,and they preferred good news to

bad.The more positive an article,the more likely it was to be shared,as Dr.Berger

explains in his new book,“Contagious:Why Things Catch On.”

【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。俗话说,好事不出门,坏事传千里。但是研究者

们通过跟踪和监控人们的电子邮件、网络帖子及评论、面对面会话等发现,人与人

之间更多分享的是那些给人们带来积极情绪的好消息,而不是导致消极情绪的坏消

息。

1.What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?

A.News reports. B.Research papers.

C.Private e-mails. D.Daily conversations.

答案:A

解析:细节理解题。由第一段前四句可知,这些经典的规则主要应用于 evening

broadcasts 和morning papers,由此推出,这些规则常用于新闻报道中。故选 A项。

2.What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?

A.They’re socially inactive.

B.They’re good at telling stories.

C.They’re inconsiderate of others.

D.They’re careful with their words.

答案:C
