Melbourne is the second largest city in Australia， and is the capital city of the state of Victoria， always in competition with Sydney in different fields such as sport and economy. Melbourne is located near the Yarra River and for some time was the main city in Australia. It is called the Marvelous Melbourne for its unique environment; it has modern buildings， beautiful beaches and is the most multicultural city in the country.

In 1854 its population increased by nearly 400%. The city developed quickly and the service industry was introduced， and with all of this Melbourne became a main financial center in Australia.

Because of the gold rush， Melbourne received many migrants （移民） from many parts of the world， especially from Italy， Greece， Poland， Turkey and Vietnam. All of this contributed to making Melbourne a very special and varied city， and this mixture can also be seen in its restaurants， architecture and festivals.

Are you more of a Botticelli or a Van Gogh？

A new feature in the Google Arts & Culture app reveals how a picture of your face may resemble a historical painting.

The app grew in popularity this weekend after users discovered the entertaining feature that analyzes selfies （自拍） and matches them to historical artwork. It pulls from Googles digital collection of artworks from museums around the world.

The feature rolled out to the app on iOS and Android last month. But users—even some big names such as Twitter founder Jack Dorsey， musician Pete Wentz， and actors Felicia Day and Kumail Nanjiani—shared their results on news feeds.

The app became the top downloaded iPhone app over the weekend， and landed in the top 10 on Android， according to analytics firm App Annie.

Its currently only available in the US.

Google said the experimental feature uses computer vision technology to scan facial features and gain data to match with paintings. The company said it wont use data from photos for any other purpose but to match it with images in its catalog. It only stores selfies for the time it takes to find matches， Google said.

The selfie feature is similar to other apps that use matching technology to find lookalikes. Microsofts What Dog app can identify and classify dogs based on photos uploaded to the app.

The Google Arts & Culture app is part of the Google Cultural Institute， which provides information about artists， scientists and historical figures from 1，000 large important organizations worldwide.

Nobody is sure where and when the expression “apple-pie order” 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. Then they filled pie pans with them in an organized way， row upon row. As one writer said， the women of New England loved to have everything in its place. This perhaps explains why it generally is believed that the expression “apple-pie order” began in New England.

Another old expression， “apple of discord”， comes from ancient mythology， however. The myth says that all the gods and goddesses were sitting around the table to celebrate the marriage of Thetis and Peleus. One of the goddesses—Discord was a troublemaker. She threw away a golden apple on the table to be given as a prize to the most beautiful goddess.

At one time， the tomato was called the apple of love. That was a mistake. This is how the mistake happened： In the sixteenth century， Spain brought the tomato from South America after Spanish explorers had landed there. Spain then sold the tomato to Morocco. Italian traders carried it on to Italy. The Italian name for the tomato was “pomo di Moro”， which meant “damour” —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 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.

32. What can we learn about the expression “apple-pie order” from Paragraph 1？

A. No one knows for sure where and when it began. B. Scottish and English writers love using it.

C. It has been put into use recently. D. It began in New England.

33. Whats the meaning of “apple of discord” according to Paragraph 2？

A. Situation of danger. B. Cause of disagreement.

C. Everything in agreement. D. Everything in good order.

34. Whats the purpose of Paragraph 3？

A. To show us a mistaken idea.

B. To tell us a love story about apple.

C. To explain how the tomato was called the apple of love.

D. To show how the tomato was brought in from South America.

35. Which expression came into being because of a mistake？

A. Apple-pie order. B. Apple of discord.

C. The apple of love. D. One rotten apple spoils the barrel.

Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Just remember： Be prepared. Know your subject， your audience， and the occasion. Be brief.        39        And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.

If you follow these simple steps， you will see that you dont have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact， you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches！ Youre not convinced yet？        40
