If you’re a fan of fantasy(奇幻)books, you can’t miss The Chronicles of Narnia(《纳尼亚传奇》)series. It has seven books in total. British writer C. S. Lewis wrote them between 1950 and 1956. The first and most popular one is The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe(《狮子、女巫和魔衣柜》).
During World War II, four children are sent to a village because of the war(战争). One day, they find an old wardrobe in the house of Professor Kirke and get into a fantasy world—Narnia. Animals and trees there can talk like men. Later they meet a friendly lion Aslan. He asks the children to fight the White Witch, who has ruled(统治)over the land for 100 years. Narnia is always in winter because of her, and there is no Christmas. The witch can turn anyone into a stone(石头). But the children are not afraid to fight against her. Finally, they help Aslan save the land of Narnia.
There are three Narnia movies so far. They have made a lot of money. But C. S. Lewis might not like them. A fan once wrote to him, saying he wanted to see Narnia in the cinema. Lewis wrote back and said that his stories were for the readers.

If the rose can be said to be a special flower, then the apple can be said to be a special fruit. It is very important in American culture (文化).
About 220 years ago, John Chapman went across America to get apple seeds (种子) and plant apple trees in America. Then apples became an important fruit for the people of early America. Because of this, John Chapman became very popular and got his new name “Johnny Appleseed”.
One of the first sayings for American children is, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This short saying encourages (鼓励) children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy. If someone always says good words to a person, people will call him an “apple polisher”. But it is not a good name. If someone is very dear to us, we say that he or she is the “apple of our eyes”.
Most people think that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple, although the Bible (圣经) never says so. So the apple is an important part of the language and stories of America.
In many parts of the country, a popular activity in autumn is to pick apples in an apple garden. Washington D.C. and New York are both famous (著名的) for their apples. When it’s time to take a vacation to American cities, one can always visit New York — “the biggest apple” of all the American cities.
