If the rose can be said to be a special flower,then the apple can be said to be a special fruit.It is very important in American culture(文化).
菁優(yōu)網 About 220 years ago,John Chapman went across America to get apple seeds(種子)and plant apple trees in America.Then apples became an important fruit for the people of early America.Because of this,John Chapman became very popular and got his new name "Johnny Appleseed".
   One of the first sayings for American children is,"An apple a day keeps the doctor away." This short saying encourages(鼓勵)children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy.If someone always says good words to a person,people will call him an "apple polisher".But it is not a good name.If someone is very dear to us,we say that he or she is the "apple of our eyes".

  • 3."Can I have a glass of hot water?" This is a very common question in a restaurant.For many Chinese people,nothing is more common than drinking hot water every day.However,the simple habit is like a mystery to people from other countries.
       For many Westerners,the idea of drinking hot water is very strange.However,most Chinese people think the Americans' habit of drinking ice water is also strange and even unhealthy.Some old people take a tea kettle (茶壺) when they travel.Chinese doctors are encouraging more people to take on the habit of drinking hot water,especially for women.
       But in Western countries,drinking hot water isn't common.Westerners often have drinks with ice,not just on hot days but:almost every day.

       Westerners wonder why Chinese people drink hot water as Chinese are wondering why Westerners drink cold water.This cultural difference is not a simple problem,but related to history,culture and science.
