21、Do you ever wonder how the apple got from the tree to your hands? In most cases，apples travel a long way to get from where they were grown to the places where people buy them.
【1】 Apple growers have hundreds of trees. The farm workers pick the apples off the trees and put them into large bags or boxes. Workers on another part of the farm sort the apples by size and type. All the green Granny Smith apples go in one bin (大箱子). 【2】 Then the apples are placed in big，wooden boxes and loaded(装载)onto trucks.The trucks carry the boxes of apples off the farm.
【3】 But most apples arrive at one of many warehouses(仓库).In some warehouses，the apples are made into applesauce(苹果酱) or Juice.In other warehouses，the apples are washed,sorted，and put into bags or smaller boxes.
The warehouses sell the apples to stores all over the country. 【4】 They tell the warehouse how much of each kind of apples they want to buy.The warehouse then packs the orders of apples on to large trucks. 【5】 This keeps the apples fresh until they are sent to the stores.

22、People who are good at small talk always avoid these 5 mistakes.
Assuming that nobody wants to talk to you
If you're shy, I get it. But you're not the only one. If you're worried about seeming unconfident or "unnatural", you're missing the point: Stop thinking about yourself.【1】.
【2】
Timing is everything. If you see two or more people vigorously engaged in conversation, they're probably not ready for you to barge in.
First, wait for a pause. Then once you have someone's attention and, ideally, receive a non-verbal go-ahead, it's the ripe time to join in the conversation.
Being hard to follow
Once you've made a connection with each other,【3】.
If you speak different languages, for example, slow your speech and enunciate clearly. If they ask you what you do for work, answer in a way that doesn't take five minutes or contain a lot of technical terms.
Talking too much about yourself—or about the other person
It's often said that people love to talk about themselves, and that asking questions is the secret trick to good conversations. But that's not true for everyone. Nobody likes to feel interrogated（审问）,【4】.
Wasting someone's time
【5】. Don't stare at the floor or look over their shoulder at another person. Put your phone away. Be present and give them your full attention.
A．If you're talking to someone, talk to them
B．Start talking without having something to say
C．keep that connection going by making yourself easy to understand
D．Interrupting an existing conversation
E．Then once you have someone's attention, that's your chance
F．so if you sense that questions aren't welcome, back off
G．Instead, think of communicating as an act of service

24、A new concept vehicle, Pod was introduced by Toyota and Sony at the Tokyo motor show. The car is intended as a four-wheeled friend. It aims to provide affection, sympathy and encouragement. Like a dog welcoming its master, the car sits up, wags its tail and acknowledges its owner’s presence using hydraulics(液压装置) and a multi-colored LED display panel(引擎) across the front.
While on the road, the car constantly monitors the driver’s mood with pulse and sweat sensors on the joystick(操纵杆). Cameras focused on the eyes keep watch for any sigh of drowsiness. If a driver appears to be losing his or her cool, Pod will display warnings, play soft music and blow cold air at the face. Drivers are shaken awake with loud music and a shaking chair.
To improve driving skills, pod compares acceleration, braking and steering with the best performance recorded by professionals. It uses this comparison to score drivers, offer advice and rank all Pod owners. Toyota claims that the car will eventually be able to learn its owner’s likes and dislikes by monitoring passenger conversations. If the car hears a favorite song being discussed, it will download the track from the Internet and play it without being asked. It will also recommend restaurants that might suit the driver’s taste and take photographs of passengers when they sound particularly happy.
In keep with the moodiness that is the car’s main selling point, Pod expresses a form of road anger. If a driver brakes or swerves(转向) suddenly, the LED panel shows an angry red and the tail rises at the back.
Anger is one of the car’s ten “emotional states”. Another is sadness --- a blue front with tear-shaped lights seemingly dropping from headlights --- which appears after a flat tire or when gas is low.
“We wanted to show that the cars can be cheerful and entertaining,” said Yasunori Sakamoto, part of the Toyota design team. Mr Sakamoto said Toyota has no plans to put Pod on the market. Sad, really.
【1】The underlined word “drowsiness” in Paragraph 2 means _________.
A. fear B. boredom
C. excitement D. sleepiness
【2】According to the text, Pod can ___________.
A. rank the restaurant nearby B. test the driver’s driving skills
C. have a conversation with drivers D. recommend a song to passenger
【3】If the new concept vehicle is running out of gas, __________.
A. the Led panel turns red
B. the tail rises at the back of the car
C. the front light turn blue and look like tears
D. the car stops and shake with loud music
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards Pod?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful.
C. Pessimistic. D. Tolerant.
