完形填空。 One Saturday afternoon,my daughter

      One Saturday afternoon,my daughter Alice asked me, "Are all people the same even if the yare different
in color?"
      I thought for a minute,and then I said, "I'll explain, if you can just wait until we make a quick    1    in
the supermarket. I have something    2    to show you."
      In the supermarket, we bought some apples-red, green and yellow ones. Back home, I told Alice, "It's
time to    3    your question." I put one apple of each type on the table. Then I looked at Alice, who had a 
   4    look on her face.
      "People are like apples. They come in all different colors, shapes and sizes. On the outside,some of the

 apples may not    5    look as the others." As I was talking, Alice was    6    each one carefully. 
      Then, I took each of the apples and peeled (削皮) them, placing them back on the table, but on a
different place. 
      "Okay, Alice, tell me which is which." 
       She said, "I    7    tell. They all look the same now." "Take    8    of each one. See if that helps you
decide which one is which." 
       She took big bites,and then a huge smile came across her face, "People are just like apple! They are all
different, but once you     9    the outside,they're pretty much the same on the inside." 
       She totally   10   it, I didn't need to say or do anything else.
