One day in class, the teacher held up a big red apple. Standing at the front of the class, she said, "Take a deep breath(呼吸) and tell me what you smell(闻) in the air!"
A boy happily put up his hand and said, "I can smell the sweet smell of an apple. " The teacher walked around the room and encouraged each student to smell the air again. Half of the students raised their hands to show they could smell it.
The teacher returned to the front of the classroom. She asked once again if the students could smell the apple. Everyone, except(除了) a quiet girl, put up their hands. The teacher went up to the girl and asked, "You really can not smell the apple?" The girl shook her head and said, "No, I can't smell it. I do not think it is a real one. " The teacher smiled at the girl and said to the class, "She is right! This isn't a real(真的) apple. " The students opened their eyes wide in surprise. They might also have thought that the apple was not real, but they weren't sure enough to speak up. They just followed the first boy.
