Apple’s logo is one of the most familiar icons(图标)around the world．

But what’s the story about the Apple logo? The image of the apple is obvious，because that’s the name of the company．What about the bite? The famous story is that the logo shows respect and honour for Alan Turing．He was the father of computer science．He researched artificial intelligence(人工智能)and unlocked German wartime codes(密码)．However，after the war，he was put into prison，because of his beliefs．He could not stand the looking down and chose to bite a poisoned apple to end his life in the prison．

　 However，Rob Janoff，who designed the famous Apple logo，said，“It’s not the truth, but only a legend．The real reason why I designed it with a bite is very simple．I wanted people to get that it was an apple not a cherry．When I go to markets to buy apples，I always mistake apples for cherries．It really has nothing to do with the scientist．”

　 Are you kidding? An apple is much bigger than a cherry. It’s very easy to tell. But if you use an apple to design a logo, some people may mistake it for a cherry.

36. Both the apple and the cherry are almost the same actually in________．

　 A·shape　 B．size　 C．colour　 D．weight

37. According to the passage，Alan Turing________.

A．died in the prison

B．used an apple to design a logo

38. What’s the purpose of writing the passage about the apple logo?

　　At the southern tip of Japan, cherry(樱花)trees burst into bloom at the end of March, later they begin to bloom in other parts of the country first on the southern and then on the northern islands．

　　Most cherry trees in Japan are of the Somei Yoshino type, known for its short blooming period．The pink blossoms(花)last ten days at the most．They cover the whole tree with their beauty．But even a soft breeze(微风)will shake them from the branches．At times, cherry trees are lashed(冲打)by storms, then the blooms fall quickly to the ground to form a wet carpet of petals(花瓣)．

　　The people of Japan, who have a great feeling for beauty love the cherry blossoms．It is with a sense of sadness that they watch them fall．
