16、 order began. Some say that Scottish and English writers used the expression a long time ago. Others say it was first used in the northeastern American states known as New England. The housewives of New England cut their apples in even slices. Then they filled pie pans with them in an organized way,

17、 row（排）upon row. As one writer said, the women of New England loved to have everything in its place. This perhaps explains why it generally is believed that the expression began in New England. Another old expression, apple of discord, comes from ancient mythology（神话），however. The myth says that all

18、 the gods and goddesses were sitting around the table to celebrate the marriage of Thetis and Peleus. One of the goddesses-Discord was a troublemaker. She threw away a golden apple on the table to be given as a prize to the most beautiful goddess. At one time, the tomato was called a love apple. Tha

19、t was a mistake. This is how the mistake happened: In the sixteenth century, Spain brought the tomato from South America after Spanish explorers had landed there. Spain then sold the tomato to Morocco. Italian traders carried it on to Italy. The Italian name for the tomato was pomo di Moro-apple of

20、the Moors. When French growers brought it in from Italy, they thought di Moro meantdamour-the French word for love. And so became the apple of love. People believe many things about the apple. One belief is that it has great power of keeping people healthy. A very common expression is an apple a day

21、 keeps the doctor away. Another belief is based on fact. The expression is one rotten apple spoils the barrel. When an apple begins to go bad, it ruins all the other apples around it in the container. The expression has come to mean that one bad person in a group can cause everyone to act bad.8. Whi

25、nd development. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing w

26、ell and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development, of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten. However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner an

27、d pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not tryin

28、g to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.” What is not usually admitted（承认） by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of th

29、eir worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troubleso

30、me fear begins to dissolve （缓解） can we discover a new meaning in competition. 12. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. Competition helps to set up self-respect. B.
