          One afternoon, my son came home from school and asked me, "Are all people the same even if their
    skin color is different?" I thought for a moment, then I said, "I'll explain. Let's go to a fruit store first. I
    have something interesting to show you."
         At the store, I told him that we needed to buy apples. And we bought some red apples, green apples and
    yellow apples.
         After we got home, I told Adam, "It's time to answer your question." I put one of each type of apple on
    the table: first a red apple, followed by a green apple and then a yellow apple. Then I looked at Adam, who
    was sitting on the other side of the table.
         "Adam, people are just like apples. They come in different colors, shapes and sizes. See, some may not
    even look as delicious as others." As I was talking, Adam was examining each one carefully.
         Then, I took each of the apples and peeled them, placing them back on the table, but in a different place.
         "OK, Adam, tell me which one is the red apple, the green apple and the yellow apple."
          He said, "I can't tell. They all look the same now."
          "Take a bite (一口) of each one. See if that helps you tell which one is which."
         He took big bites, and then a huge smile came across his face. "People are just like apples! They are all
    different, but if you take off the outside, they're pretty much the same on the inside."
         "Right," I agreed. "Just like everyone has their own features but they are nearly the same."
         He completely got it. I didn't need to say or do anything else.
         Now, when I eat an apple, it tastes a little sweeter than before. What perfect fruit it is!
    1. I took Adam to buy apples for ________.
    A. supper
    B. his question
    C. a party
    D. a present
    2. As soon as we got home, I put ________ on the table.
    A. all the apples
    B. three apples of different colors
    C. three red apples
    D. three peeled apples
    3. After Adam took big bites, he found they ________. 
    A. looked the same
    B. tasted good
    C. tasted the same
    D. weren't delicious
    4. In the end, Adam understood that ________.
    A. people are much the same even if their skin color is different
    B. people are different if their skin color is different
    C. the apples look the same after they are peeled

         My vision (视力) is getting worse. I can't even see what is five feet away from me without glasses.
    我拒绝戴眼镜, though I know I need to. I'm afraid they will make me look ugly. Besides, I can do well
    without them. These were my thoughts two years ago, when I was in the sixth grade. An embarrassing
    experience taught me that what I was thinking was wrong.
        ②School has been out for two months. I was going to junior high school soon, where I was sure that
    looks are everything. So the question still remained there. Should I, Or should I not, wear glasses? The
    question was still in my mind when my family and I attended a wedding (婚礼) late in the summer.
        During the wedding, I drank too much juice. Soon after it ended, I walked quickly to the bathroom. Since
    it was an emergency (紧急) and I couldn't clearly see which door was ③marked boys. I just opened the
    nearest door and entered the restroom.
         Unluckily, I had entered the wrong restroom. But I didn't know this until I heard a scream (尖叫声) coming
    from the entrance when I was washing my hands.
         After that, I decided to wear the ugly-looking glasses. I didn't really ④care about what people thought of
    me any more, because I never wanted to enter the wrong bathroom again.
         On the first day of seventh grade, ⑤my friends didn't make fun of me. Instead they gave me compliments.
    They thought the glasses made me look more cute and more natural.
         So if you know something is right, just do it. ⑥It doesn't matter what others think of you. All that matters
    is what you think of yourself-and that you can see where you are going!
