18、t fell down to the ground again. “Who was to blame now?” asked Lucy, dropping herself to the ground in anger. My aunt didnt say anything and demanded another attempt.

CHumans have favoured red apples for generations, but rising temperatures could mean the end of a rosy red apple.The ancestors of the modern apple were wild trees growing in what is now Kazakhstan. Today, wild apple
25、 trees still grow there, perfuming the air with fallen fruit and feeding the bears that move slowly through the forest, although the wild apples numbers have become smaller by 90% in the last 50 years due to human development and their future is uncertain.Apple colour arises from the expression leve
26、l of certain genes in the skin, scientists have found. Interestingly, colour also depends on temperature. To get an apple thats fully red, temperatures must stay cool, David Change, an expert at Plant and Food Research in New Zealand, explains. As temperatures warm, he suggests, it could become more
27、 difficult for apples to turn red.Colour probably didnt win other features of an apple when growers were evaluating a new tree, however. Instead, they focused on the taste and use for the apple: some are good for cider, some for pies, some for sauce, and some for eating. It didnt much matter exactly
28、 what the fruit looked like and whether it looked the same from tree to tree, because farmers were growing fruit for themselves and for their local market, and function mattered more than looks.Bunker says that all changed about a hundred years ago. The redder apples might not be better than the yel
29、lower onesin fact they might be worse-but, red sells; thats the problem”.It happens to every single apple on the market, says Bedford.

We humans desire to change the appearance of apples.C. Humans have been choosing various apples.D. Humans in fact prefer
33、the apples which look redder.D Children whose fathers make time to play with them from a very young age may find it easier to control their behaviour and emotions as they grow up, research suggests. Although there are many similarities between fathers and mothers, the findings suggest that fathers p
34、articipate in more physical play even with the youngest children. This seems to help children learn to control their feelings. It may also make them better at supervising their own behaviour later on. Paul Ramchandani, professor of Play in Education, Development and Learning at the University of Cam
35、bridge, said, “It s important not to overstate the influence of father-child play as there are limits to what the research can tell us, but it does seem that children who get a reasonable amount of playtime with their father benefit as a group.” Parent-child play in the first years of life is known
36、to support basic social, cognitive and communication skills, but most research focuses on mothers and babies. The Cambridge review used data from 78 studies, undertaken between 1977 and 2017most of them in Europe or North America. The researchers analysed the combined information for patterns about
37、how often fathers and children play together, the nature of that play, and any possible link with children s development. In almost all the studies surveyed, there was a consistent relation between father-child play and children s subsequent ability to control their feelings. Children who enjoyed hi
38、gh-quality playtime with their fathers were less likely to exhibit emotional and behavioral problems. They also appeared to be better at controlling their aggression, and less likely to attack other children during disagreements at school. “Physical play creates fun, exciting situations in which chi
39、ldren have to apply self-control,” Ramchandani said. “You might have to control your strength. It s a safe environment in which children can practise how to respond. If they react the wrong way, they might get told off, but it s not the end of the worldand next time they might remember to behave dif
40、ferently.”32. The underlined word “supervising” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _.A. acknowledging B. regulating C. exhibiting D. understanding33. Which of the following statements would Paul Ramchandani probably agree with? A. Father-child play is extremely influential. B. The research stil
