I’m lying on my back in my grandfather’s orchard (果园),looking up at the branches above me. It is one of the last days of summer. Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler. Some kinds of apples are already ripe(成熟的).Others will be ready to pick soon. I think of my grandmother’s apple pie,and how I used to make it with her. She died last year,before the apple harvest,and I have not had her pie since. I really miss her. I hear bees busily humming about,visiting the late summer flowers. The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep.
The sky is as blue as my grandfather’s eyes. Above me,big white clouds race across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the wind. School starts in another week,and time seems to have slowed down.
“Sophie!” calls my grandfather. “Is that you?”I stand up,take his hand,and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard. We talk about apples,and bees,and Grandma. He tells me that he misses her too.
He puts his rough,brown farmer’s hand around my shoulder and pulls me close. “You know,Sophie,”he says,“I spent the morning in the attic(阁楼),and you’ll never guess what I found. It’s the recipe (烹饪法) for Grandma’s apple pie. I used to help her make it sometimes. I can’t do it all alone,but you used to help her too. Maybe between the two of us,we can work it out. Want to try?”
“But it won’t be the same without Grandma,” I tell him.
“That’s true,”he says,“but nothing is the same without Grandma. Still,I don’t think that she would want us never to have another apple pie. What do you say?” I nod yes,and we walk towards home...towards an afternoon in the farmhouse kitchen,making Grandma’s famous apple pie.

In Europe people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right throughout the meal, a system that is generally agreed to be more efficient than the American zigzag(曲折的)method. Americans hold both the fork and the knife in their right hands throughout the meal, so they continually change their forks to the left hand when they have to cut their meat. It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Americans busy changing their dinner sets, making a lot of noises. A few explanations for this American style are as follows:
(1)Americans are practical and efficient. Since most of us are right-handed, it is reasonable to keep our working tools at all times in the right hand that can use them most efficiently.?
(2)Americans, the master of the New World are rebels(叛逆者).They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old World and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England. Americans are a restless kind. They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining.
(3)Forced to do so, they respond by “playing” with the silver.?
Whatever the reason for the practice, it is now certainly as American as apple pie. Europeans recognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of American innocence(无知)of form. Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but also on those of tradition. In Old World dining, the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can serve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders(入侵者).However, such alertness(警觉) is out of place in the New World, as every American believes that this is the home of the brave. Americans juggle their silverware, perhaps, to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork is worth any number of them holding blades(刀).?
【小题1】Americans use _______ to hold their fork to pick up the salad.?

A.the right handB.the left hand?
C.both handsD.either of the two hands?
【小题2】As the masters of the New World, Americans use a different cutting method from that in the Old World to _______.?
A.show their independence of Mother England?
B.show their disrespect to Mother England?
C.add a new tradition to those in Mother England?
D.show off their creativeness to Mother England?
【小题3】In the sentence, the word “juggle” probably means _______.?
A.holdB.play withC.pick upD.lay down??
【小题4】Which of the following statements is NOT true? ?
A.European people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand.
B.The zigzag eating method is related to American characteristics.?
C.The zigzag eating method has become an American feature.?
D.European people will use the American method because of its efficiency.

Most people think the first pies were made by early Romans. They may have learned about pie making from the Greeks. These pies were sometimes made in"reeds (芦苇叶)", which were used for the purpose of holding the filling (馅 ), and were not eaten.

The Romans spread the word about pies around Europe and the word"pie"became a popular word in the 14th century. The first pie recipe (食谱) was also published by the Romans.

Pies first appeared in England as early as the twelfth century. The early pies were mostly meat pies. There was actually more crust(皮)than filling. Often these pies were made from fowl ( 家禽) and the fowl's legs were left to hang over the side of the dish and used as handles. Fruit pies were probably first made in the 1500s. It is said that Queen Elizabeth I made the first cherry pie.

Pie came to America with the first English settlers. The early settlers cooked their pies in long narrow pans. As in the Roman times, the early American pie crusts were often not eaten, but simply used to hold the filling during baking(烘焙).

Over the years, pie has become what it is today --- "the most traditional American dessert". Pie has become so much a part of American culture that we now often use the phrase "as American as apple pie".

51. Which people might probably first grasp the skill to make pies?

A. The Romans.     B. The Greeks.    C. The Englishmen.    D. The Americans.

52. Which of the following is NOT true about pies?

A. English settlers brought pies to America.

B. Early Romans ate not only pies but also the crusts.

C. The Romans first published pie recipe.

D. The word “pie ” became popular because of the Romans` efforts.

53. What can best show pies have become part of American culture?

A. Americans use long narrow pans to cook pies.

B. People use "as American as apple pie" to show something about American characteristics.

C. Americans don't eat crusts but use them to hold the filling during baking.

D. Pies are the most traditional American dessert.

54. The best title of this passage is "______________".

A . The History of Pies                        B. Pies, the Delicious Food

C. Pies, American Dessert                D. How to Make Pies
