Apple’s logo is one of the most familiar icons(图标)around the world.
But what’s the story about the Apple logo? The image of the apple is obvious，because that’s the name of the company. What about the bite? The famous story is that the logo shows respect and honour for Alan Turing. He was the father of computer science. He researched artificial intelligence(人工智能)and unlocked German wartime codes(密码). However，after the war，he was put into prison(监狱)，because of his beliefs（信念，信条）. He could not stand the looking down and chose to bite a poisoned apple to end his life in the prison.
However，Rob Janoff，who designed the famous Apple logo，said，“It’s not the truth, but only a legend. The real reason why I designed it with a bite is very simple. I wanted people to get that it was an apple not a cherry. When I go to markets to buy apples，I always mistake apples for cherries. It really has nothing to do with the scientist. ”
Are you kidding? An apple is much bigger than a cherry. It’s very easy to tell. But if you use an apple to design a logo, some people may mistake it for a cherry.

Both the apple and the cherry are almost the same actually in________.

According to the passage，Alan Turing________.

What’s the purpose of writing the passage about the apple logo?

①Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.
②Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.
③We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar experiences and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that’s true but it’s a pity if we always stay with the same people, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区)is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover difference.
④When we always stay with the same people, how can we break down the barriers（屏障，障碍）which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知)? If you want to live in a society that opens to changes, new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons（鸽子）.
⑤Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don’t just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That’s how we make friends. That’s how we learn about people. That’s how we open our minds to new ideas. That’s how we live an exciting life.
From the passage, we know that people prefer sitting by someone who         .

The sentence “Unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves.” should be placed at the beginning of __________.

What is the purpose of the passage?

News 1 :  Have you ever thought of being able to fly around the world in a few hours though it is about 40,000 kilometers? One day，maybe you can. Last Saturday，the American X－43A airplane made its first flight. It reached a speed of 8,000 kilometres an hour. This makes it the fastest plane in the world. The X－43A is only three to four metres long，but it's very heavy：it weighs（重）1,270 kilogrames.
News 2 :  Have you ever got angry at books that are full of mistakes? Don't worry，things will get better soon. Last week，China started checking textbooks，dictionaries and children's books all over the country. The government（政府）said the results of the checking would come out at the end of June.
News 3 : There will be a new “star” in the sky soon. China plans to send a satellite(人造卫星) into space by December 2006. It will stay in space for one year. It will go around the moon and take pictures. It must be very expensive，right? That's for sure－1. 4 billion yuan！
News 4 : Floods（洪水）across the northern Mexican(墨西哥的) state of Coahuila killed at least 32 people and left100 more missing. It was reported on Monday.

A report in a newspaper says that school accidents, such as food poisoning (食物中毒), fires, electricity and traffic, kill more primary and middle school students than anything else. So we must learn how to protect ourselves better. Here are some tips for keeping safety in mind every day.
On our way home or to school: Wait for the green traffic light, and look left and right before we cross the road. We’d better wear bright-color clothes, so the drivers can see us easily. Don’t believe strange people in the street.
At school: When students around us begin to push each other, we need to stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd(人群) leaves. If we fall down in a moving  crowd, use both hands to cover the head. Lean(斜靠) to one side, curl up (蜷缩) our body and bend (弯曲) the legs.
In a fire: Stay calm. Leave the classroom quickly under the directions of the teachers. Smoke can be more dangerous than fire, so use a piece of cloth to cover our mouth and nose. What will we do if the clothes burn? Remember not to run! Drop and fall to the ground. Then roll! It will make the fire go out.
For eating: Wash fruits carefully before eating them. Check the expiration dates (保质期) on the packages of the snacks, and if it looks or smells bad, don’t eat it.
