If you are a fruit grower — or would like to become one —join in Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in fact it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has become popular, events now last through most of October around Britain.

Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety(品種) of apples. To people who are used to the limited kinds of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite eye-opening to see some 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.

There are also varieties developed to suit certain 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 in love with it.

At the apple events, you can also meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well entertained 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(果園). If you want to have a real orchard experience, visit the National Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.

1.What can people do at the apple events?

A. Attend experts’ lectures.

B. Visit fruit-loving families.

C. Taste many kinds of apples.

D. Plant fruit trees in an orchard.

2.What can we learn about Decio?

A. It is a new variety.

B. It is rarely seen now.

C. It has a strange look.

D. It has a special taste.

3.What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. A clever idea. B. A selfish thought.

C. A great plan. D. A useless hope.

Dogs wag (搖擺) their tails in different directions depending on whether they are excited and wanting to move forward or threatened and thinking of moving back, a study has found.

Researchers in Italy examined the tail wagging behaviour of 30 dogs, catching their responses to a range of stimuli (刺激物) with video cameras.To conduct the study they chose 15 male dogs and 15 female ones aged between one and six years old.The dogs were all family pets whose owners had allowed them to take part in the experiment at Bari University.The dogs were placed in a large wooden box with an opening at the front to allow them to view various stimuli.They were tested one at a time.

The researchers led by Professor Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trieste found that when the dogs were shown their owners—their tails wagged energetically to the right side.When they were shown an unfamiliar human they wagged to the right, but with somewhat less enthusiasm.The appearance of a cat again caused a right­hand side wag, although with less intensity again.The appearance of a large unfamiliar dog, similar to a German shepherd, changed the direction of tail wagging to the left.Researchers supposed the dog was thinking of moving back.When the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left, suggesting they preferred company.While the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood of dogs.Computer and video systems, for example, could be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach.

1.The video cameras were used to catch the dogs' responses because ________.

A．it was easier to catch the dogs' response changes in the tail wagging

B．the dogs were put in the wooden boxes and tested one at a time

C．they enabled the dogs' owners to know about their dogs' habits

D．the dogs wagged their tails in different directions when they were in different moods

2.The underlined word “intensity” in Paragraph 3 means ________.

A．surprise B．worry

C．excitement D．interest

3.When there are no stimuli, a dog will ________.

A.wag to the left

B．wag to the right

C．not wag at all

D．wag to the left and then to the right

4.The underlined word “they” in the last sentence refers to ________.

A．the dogs B．the trainers

C．the systems D．the researchers

5.The purpose of doing the experiment is ________.

A．to train dogs for their owners

B．to help people judge the mood of dogs
