Gabriel Garqacia Marquez ， who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982， passed away at the age of 86 on April 17， 2014. The world paused (停顿) to remember the cultural giant. Garcia Marquez was born in Colombia， but he spent most of his adult life in Mexico City. As one of the most famous writers， he was widely considered as “a giant of 20th- century literature.” Garcia Marquez wrote in a style called “ magical realism(魔幻现实主义).” In such works， people live a daily life in a certain period of time in history. But meanwhile， magical things happen to them.
Garcia Marquez is best known for his 1967 novel， One Hundred Years of Solitude （《百年孤独》）， which has sold about 50 million copies. It tells the tale of the small and isolated town of Macondo， which was separated from the outside world of its founding and its troubled history over a hundred years. The story is a metaphor(暗喻)for the development of Colombia since the 19 century. As Colombian President Juan Manuel Santons said， Garcia Marquez wrote about “the essence(本质) of the Latin American beings.”

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. American stories speak of Johnny Appleseed， who went throughout America collecting apple seeds and planting apple trees. He had a great love for nature and went through fields and farms adding richness and beauty to the country.
One of the first sayings taught to school children is， “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This short saying encourages children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy. If someone always says good words to a person， people will call him an “apple polisher”. This， however， is not a good name. If someone is very dear to us， we say that he or she is the “apple of our eye”.
Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple， even though the Bible(圣经) never says so. The apple， therefore， is a deep part of the language and stories of America.
An apple is also delicious. Apples can be cooked in many ways， used as a dessert， and made into sweet juice.
In many parts of the country during the harvest season， a popular activity is to go into an apple garden to pick apples. Washington， D. C. and New York are both famous for their apples.
Finally， when it’s time to take a vacation to American cities， one can always visit New York， which is “the biggest apple” of all the American cities.

A. Something for cutting apples.
B. A person who likes to please others.
