Nana found a tiny, white, silk button. “Look, this was on the infant （婴儿） suit Zach wore when you brought him home from the hospital, remember?” “I remember,” Mom said. 　　“You mean that button was   43  ?” Zach asked. “Sure. You’re part of this family, aren’t you?” Grandpa said. “I think you’re starting to understand the magic of the button box, aren’t you, Zach?” Zach smiled. “We still need to replace that button you lost,” Nana said. “Why not use the button from my old coat?” Grandpa suggested. 　　“Good idea, Grandpa,” Zach said. “But a memory will be   44   from the box.” 　　 　　But Zach wasn’t   45  .

Then he cut off the bottom button from his shirt. “What are you doing?” Mom asked. “I’m   46   a memory,” Zach said, throwing the button into the box. “And the next time I see that button, it’ll remind me of the day I found out the secret of the magic button box.”   35.

You’ve never seen a supermarket before, have you, Jimmy?” I shook my head no. 　　 “A trading post in the pueblo only shows you a small part of the world. This store speaks of a world that is a very big place.” “So I should just forget where we come from, is that it?” 　　“No. Carry it with you, so that you may be always in both worlds, large and small.” 　　“So it’s big, so what! I’d rather be in a trading post any old day. Maybe they only have one kind of apple, but they are all ripe!” While I was saying that, I was watching a woman putting the green apples into a bag. “That woman is being cheated because she doesn’t know the apples aren’t ripe.” Grandfather laughed. He also put about half a dozen of the green apples in a bag.  “You’ll get a stomachache if you eat green apples,” I said. Grandfather looked as though he were going to laugh again, but he didn’t.  　　At the cash registers, Grandfather paid his money. Nobody said much. Maybe everybody in a city always acted like strangers. Maybe that was how people got along with each other here. When we got outside, Grandfather reached for one of those green apples. 　　“Feel like sharing an apple with me?” He used a small knife to cut the apple in half. He offered me one piece.  I was hungry, but I said no.  Grandfather chewed the other piece, making a great show of how good it tasted. “Not afraid of an apple, are you?” 　　I didn’t know why he was making such a big deal over an apple,so I took it.I bit into it was juicy and sweet. 　　“It’s not a trick. I thought it was when I first saw them, too. But it is this kind of apple, it gets ripe but it stays green.” He finished his half of the apple. 　　“It tastes pretty good,” I finally admitted. A green apple that was ripe! It just didn’t seem possible somehow. 　　“You’re going to see lots of new things here. Just try not to forget the old things you already know and you will do well,” said Grandfather.  1.Where did Jimmy go with Grandfather? A.To a hotel.    B. To a garden.  C. To a supermarket.  D.

They’re the trendsetters (引领潮流者), and everyone else follows their lead. 　　The standards of the in-crowd differ from culture to culture and even school to school. Nevertheless, teens worldwide worry about popularity. As people grow from children to adults, looking for support from peers (同伴) is normal, explains a psychologist at the University of North Carolina. 　　Being popular has certain benefits. Popular kids often enjoy plenty of party invites and dates. Along the way, they develop social skills and learn how to get along in different situations too. 　　Being a trendsetter can also be exciting. That’s especially true if that status (地位) is used for a positive goal, such as making school a more welcoming place. “It is my hope that popular teens will choose to be the superhero rather than the villain,” says psychologist Leanna Closson. 　　Popularity can have an unpleasant side, though. “Amy is very self-centred and complains about petty things,” notes Danielle. “She makes fun of other people and is in general not an all-around nice person.” Eric M. says the popular crowd acts the same way at his high school. “They act really mean on the outside to make themselves seem better than everyone else,”
