When most of us hear the word chocolate. the verb that comes to mind is probably 〞eat〞|, not “drink〞, and the most proper adjective would seem to be “sweet〞. But for about 90 percent of chocolate's long history, it was strictly a beverage(饮料), and sugar didn't have anything to do with it.
The Origin of Chocolate
Many modern historians have estimated that chocolate has been around for about 2,000 years, but recent research suggests that in may be even older.
In the book The True HISTOUY OF Chocolate, authors Sophie and Michael Coe prove that the earliest linguistic(语言学的) evidence of chocolate consumption dates back three or even four thousand years.
Valuable and Fashionable Chocolate Beverage
It's hard to discover exactly when chocolate was born, but it's clear that in was cherished from the start. For several centuries in pre-modern Latin America, cacao beans were considered valuable enough to use as currency. 100 beans could purchase
a good turkey hen, according to a 16th-century Aztec document.
Sweetened chocolate didn't appear until Europeans discovered the Americas and sampled(品味) the native cuisine . Chocolate didn't suit the foreigners' taste at first—one described it in his writings as “a bitter drink for pigs〞—but once mixed with honey or cane sugar, it quickly became popular throughout Spain. By the 17th century, chocolate was a fashionable drink throughout Europe, believed to have nutritious, medicinal functions. But it remained largely a privilege of the rich until the invention of the steam engine made mass production possible in the late 1700s.
The Birth of Solid chocolate
In 1828, a Dutch chemist found a way to make powdered chocolate. His product became known as “Dutch cocoa〞, and it soon led to the creation of solid chocolate. In 1847, Joseph Fry created the first modern chocolate bar. By 1868, a little company called Cadbury was marketing boxes of chocolate candies in England. Milk chocolate hit the marked a few years later.
Prosperous Chocolate Industry
In America, chocolate was so valued during the Revolutionary War that it was used instead of wages . Even now, statistics show that the humble cacao bean is still a powerful economic fore. Chocolate manufacturing is a more than 4-billion-dollar industry in the United States, and the average American eats at least half a pound of the stuff per month.
1.The earliest chocolate was most probably .
A. A dish
B. a drink
C. a bar
D. a candy
2.It can be inferred from the passage that .
A.The history of chocolate is at most 4,000 years.
B.People around the world could buy things with chocolate
C.Chocolate was well paid attention to since it was born
D.An American at least eats a pound of chocolate per month
3.Why did chocolate suit the Spanish's taste so quickly?
A.Because chocolate was so tasty and bitter.
B.Because chocolate was believed to be a source of nutrition.
C.Because chocolate was sweetened with honey of cane sugar.
D.Because chocolate became a fashionable beverage.
4.Which one shows the correct order according to the time of their appearing?
A.Chocolate beverage→chocolate bar → chocolate candies→ milk chocolate
B.Chocolate bar→ chocolate beverage→ chocolate candies→ milk chocolate
C.Chocolate bar→ chocolate candies→ milk chocolate → chocolate beverage

More surprising,perhaps,than the current difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and increasing.As Skolnick notes,Americans are a marrying people:relative to Europeans,more of us marry at younger
age.Moreover,after falling in the early 1970s,the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing.Even the divorce rates need to be taken in this pro-marriage context:some 80 percent of divorced individuals remarry.Thus,marriage remains,by far,the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society.
What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family.Twenty-five years ago,the typical American family consisted of a husband,a wife,and two or three children.Now,there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children.And there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wife's previous marriage,or the husband's,or both,sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage;sometimes they are shared between two former spouses.
Thus,one can find every type of family arrangement.There are marriages without children;marriages with children for only the present marriage;marriages
with“full-time〞children from both the present and former marriages;marriages with“full-time〞children from the present marriage and“part-time〞children from former marriages.There are stepfathers,stepmothers,half-brothers,and
half-sisters.It is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents!These are enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family.But even so,even in the midst of all this,there remains one constant:most Americans spend most of their adult lives married.
1.By calling Americans marrying people the author means that__________.
A.Americans are more traditional than Europeans
B.Americans expect more out of marriage than Europeans
C.there are more married couples in the USA than in Europe
D.more of Americans as compared with Europeans,prefer marriage and they accept it at a younger age
2.Which of the following can be presented as the picture of today's American families?
A.A typical American family consists of only a husband and a wife.
B.Many types of family arrangements have become socially acceptable.
C.Americans prefer to have more kids than before.
D.There are no nuclear families any more.
3.The“nuclear family〞refers to___________.
A.families formed up by men or women working for nuclear power stations
B.married couples who are closely matched
C.family consists of married couples who do not want to have any child
D.family with small number of members
4.“Part-time〞children________]
A.spend some of their time with their half-brothers and some of their time with their half-sisters
B.spend all of their time with one parent from the previous marriage
C.are shared between the two former spouses
D.cannot stay with“full-time〞children
