    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    　　The apple is more than just a fruit. People use it for city names and business logos, too.

    　　“The Big Apple”stands for New York City.

    　　The phrase was first used in a 1909 book called“The Wayfarer in New York”It was used to show how rich New York is.

    　　Later, jazz musicians in the 1930s and 1940s made the phrase more popular. At that time, musicians earned money by playing in cities and towns across America.

    　　They said each city in America was an apple on a tree. But New York city, where most fans of their music lived, was“the big apple”. It was there they got the most pay.

    　　In the 1970s, the city wanted to make itself more popular with tourists. It started to use an apple as its symbol.（象征）

    　　Apples are also hot in the computer world. Apple Computer, a big company in America, uses a picture of an apple with a bite taken out of it as its logo. Some say that the bite（一口）means“learning knowledge”. Also,“bite”sounds similar to“byte（字节）,”a unit（单位）in computer science.

    　　In the US, the most popular way to welcome the new year is with a big party．Some parties are at private homes．But in recent years, it has become more and more common for Americans to go to a hotel or eating-place on the night of December 31st．There, they can eat a big dinner, drink champagne, and dance to orchestra music．

    　　Most New Year’s parties are usually noisy．People shout and sing．And often, guests blow on small noisemakers when the new year arrives at midnight．This tradition of noise making is believed to start centuries ago．People thought that loud sounds would drive away the bad spirits of the old year．

    　　The Times Square celebration includes another well-known American tradition．Since 1929, the band of musician Guy Lombardo has given a concert on New Year’s Eve．Guy Lombardo died in 1977．But, Bill Lombardo, has kept the tradition alive with a band concert at a New York city hotel．When the crowds in Times Square start cheering the arrival of the new year, television cameras show the band playing the song Auld Lang Syne．
