【解析】【分析】主要讲了爸爸给女儿买了两个苹果，然后让女儿和自己分享时，女儿把两个苹果都咬了一口，爸爸起初认为女儿不懂得分享，一会才明白女儿通过咬苹果发现哪个苹果是甜的，并且把甜的苹果给了爸爸。

（1）句意：当他们停下来时，小女儿看见一个老人正在卖苹果。

see sb. doing sth.看见某人正在做某事，固定搭配，所以sell用selling，故填selling。

bring sth. with sb.随身携带某物，固定搭配，故填with。

（3）句意：所以他买了两个苹果，并且把它们给了他的女儿。

（4）句意：然后爸爸问她是否能和他分享一个苹果。

时态是一般过去时，所以用ask的过去式asked，故填asked。

（5）句意：当女孩听到这个时，她迅速咬了一口苹果。

about是介词，后面用动词ing，share的ing是sharing，故填sharing。

What can a poem writer and a film director share? More than you think! Langston Hughes began writing poems in high school and soon became one of America's greatest writers. Most of his writing is about his experiences as an African American. He wrote poems about people who worked hard through life but still found things to be happy about. He wrote plays and books about justice（正义）for all people, and he wrote kids' books too. The Sweet and Sour Animal Book is a book of his animal poems. Pictures and photos were used in the book. "Hold fast to dreams" is a line in Hughes' famous poem. That's exactly what he did throughout his life.
When Steven Spielberg was in middle school, he wanted to make a film. He had an idea for a film, but no money. He started a tree-planting business and made his film with the money he earned. Spielberg never stopped making films, even after many film schools refused him. Now he is one of the most popular and important filmmakers in the world. His films are about people who are adventurous（爱冒险的）, brave and kind. His characters often fight for what is good. Some of his films are about his Jewish background, such as Schindler's List. Spielberg once said, "I don't dream much at night because I dream for a living." In different ways, both Hughes and Spielberg have encouraged people of all ages to achieve their dreams.
