Back in 1988. Red Delicious made up 70 to 80 percent ofthe domestic apple market.
Over the years, farmers sold a lot ofthem because they looked great. But they had a floury
texture( 口感), and people want an apple that’s firm, crisp and juicy. Istarted searching for
the one. By 1994. threatened by varietiesfrom Japan and New Zealand, the U. S. apple industry
andWashington State University agreed that we had to grow our own.
First, We cross-pollinated(为异花授粉) existing apples:
Collect pollen from one flower,
put it on the tip of a pencileraser, and rub it into another. We crossed dozens of crisp, tasty
varieties such as Gala,Fuji and Pink Lady, But the best breedcame out of Honeycrisp and
Enterprise parents. The crossbredseeds grew into 5-foot trees, and we grafted those onto
rootstocks(根状茎) to make them start producing quickly,and plantedthem in evaluation
gardens. A few years later, they fruited ----andwe began tasting.
So I would walk along long rows of hundreds and thousandsof trees, and when I found
an attractive fruit. I'dbite, chewand spit it out. Most were terrible. but when I found one with
good texture and taste, I'd pick 10 or 20 of them Then I putthem in cold storage to see how
they would hold up after a fewmonths, After that. three of four researchers sat down and tasted
every apple.We checked acidity and sugar levels,which canchange over time, and tested
firmnessand crispness usinginstruments that measure pressure and cell breakdown.
When we found exactly what we wanted, we planted andtested them all over again.
Eventually, we ended up with CosmicCrisp. It can spend nine to twelve months in storage, an
crisp, firm, juicy and sweet.
24. What does the author mainly tell us?
A. Why Red Delicious sells best.
B. How apples with a good texture are grown.
C. Why apples cross-pollinated taste nice.
D. How a new variety of apple comes into being.
25. Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word“grafted" in Paragraph 2?
A. AppliedB. Rubbed. C. Attached. D. Changed.
26. What can we learn from the text?
A. The apple seeds cross-pollinated take a few years to grow
B. Cosmic Crisp has a longer storage life and better quality
C. Cosmic Crisp is mainly bred from Gala and Fuji
D. The quality of apples lies in its acidityand sugar levels.

Digital grounding is when parents or caregivers limit orcompletely take away access to
technology from children.According to a study conducted by PewResearch,65%parents have
digitally grounded their teen by taking away theirteen’s cellphone or Internet access as
punishment.
Because children are so connected with their technologies,digital grounding may seem like
a logical step for parents. Takeaway a child’s mostcherished item and they will quickly
learnfrom their behavior, But the idea of digital grounding isn’t asclear-cut as that. Instead,
it may bealose-lose situation forparents and kids, alike.
For most parents, the goalof grounding isn’t to make theirchildren unhappy or sad. It is to
teach a lesson in the hope thatthey won’t engage in whatever behavior gets them in trouble in the
first place. Unfortunately, though, digital grounding is often justpunishment, not discipline.
If a child stays out past curfew(宵禁时间)。
a punishment would be hitting or yelling at them
Discipline would be not letting them go out the next weekendbecause they fail to follow rules.
we’ve all been there----we've caught our child doingsomething wrong and in the heat
ofthe moment laid out a strictpunishment. We may have been feeling hotheaded,embarrassed
or dismayed. Often, though,these punishments aren’t alignedwith the had behavior.
While digital grounding may solve the problem temporarilyit won’t provide children
with the guidance they need to actappropriately in the future. Instead of grounding, show your
childwhat they did wrong and give them the chance a act differently.This way, they will learn
from their mistakes in a practicalmanner and figure out ways to be safe and smart with
technology
Thereisnodenying it:
technology is here for the long-haul.This is why some parenting
experts don' recommend digitallygrounding your children. It doesn’t focus on the end goal of
safebehavior. They recommend teaching them good habits as soon aspossible, rather than
taking away their technology. By digitallygrounding them, you are putting a bandage over the
wound.rather than treating it.
Now, when we say that digital grounding is a lose-losesituation, we're not saying that
disciplining your children ingeneral is a lose-lose situation, Discipline is a great way to teach
