2 . If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.
There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.
At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.
Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.

英语科新课标增加了“看”的语言技能,主要是因为信息技术时代人们获取信息的方式发生了改变,特别是观看视频成为当代人们获取信息的主要途径之一,因此学生用书每个单元的最后板块是video time,通过视频材料拓展单元话题内容,扩大学生的文化视野。必修三第三单元是围绕“多样性文化”主题来展开,在阅读理解部分编者选了一则旅行日记,在日记中,中国学生Li Lan 用文字记录了自己的加州之行,向读者展示了一个多元化的城市。但是,对于现在的高中生来说,“看”图片和文字已不能满足他们对文化的了解和渴望。他们更喜欢用vlog,即video blog 视频网络日志方式替代文字或相片,以影像的方式与别人分享所见所闻,因此本单元要求同学们用vlog的方式来推广当地的文化,进而全面提高自己的学科核心素养。
