Do you know the expression “applepie order”？
It means in perfect order,or very well organized
Nobody is sure where and when the expression applepie orderw 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 (均勻薄片).Then they filled pie pans (平底鍋) with them m an organized way — row upon row. As one writer said,the women of New England loved to have everything in its place. Maybe this explains why it is believed that the expression "applepie order” began in New England.
At one time,the tomato was called a love apple. That was a mistake. This is how the mistake happened.
In the sixteenth century,Spain imported (進口) the tomato from South America after Spanish Explorers (探險家) had landed there. Spain then exported the tomato to Morocco. Italian traders carried it on to Italy. The Italian name for the tomato was pomo di Moro — apple of the Moors.
When French growers imported it from Italy,they thought di Moro meant d’amour,the French word for love. And so pomo di Moro became the apple of love.
People believe many things about the apple. One belief is that it has great powers of keeping people healthy. A very common expression is “An apple a day 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 (毀壞) 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.

I hid the long black bag in the garage (車庫) two days ago. Tonight,in the dark,I would finally take it away. If everything went OK,it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one,not even my wife,saw me.
It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.
First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10： 30 pm was not early. As usual,I read them a bed time story,but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.
Silence finally came,and feeling like a thief (小偷) in the night,I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end,I pulled the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.
It was already eleven o’clock. By the light of the moon I started working,trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw (鋸子) and a hammer (錘子) .
After much hard work,I finally completed my work. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4：00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn’t be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new treehouse Father Christmas brought them this year.
