     The first chocolate was eaten by people in South America hundreds of years ago. In those days, the people
did not really eat chocolate. They used the cocoa bean (可可豆) to make a chocolate drink and they enjoyed it
very much. Many years later, the cocoa bean was brought to other countries and people came to love the taste
of chocolate.
     In 1824, John Cadbury opened a small shop in Britain. One of the things he sold was chocolate drink. In
1831, he opened a factory to make chocolate drink. He wanted to encourage people to drink chocolate instead
of other drinks. A few years later, a man called Joseph Fry found a way to make chocolate instead of only
drinking it. But at that time chocolate was very expensive and only the rich people could buy it. Later, ad more
and more chocolate bars were produced and sold, it became cheaper.
     However, at first only plain chocolate (a kind of chocolate without milk and with very little sugar) was
produced. Milk chocolate came later and this was made by adding milk to the chocolate. The first milk
chocolate bar was made in Cadbury's factory in 1897. Their most famous chocolate, Cadbury's Milk Bar, was
made in 1905, It has been the most popular chocolate in Britain and around the world for over 100 years. The
Cadbury factory is still in Britain and the chocolate produced there is eaten all over the world. Every year,
thousands of visitors visit the factory in order to see how chocolate is made.

     As the sun rose, a dewdrop (露珠) woke up.  There it sat on a leaf, catching the sunlight. Proud of its
simple beauty,  it was very happy.  Around it were other dewdrops,  some on the same leaf and some on
other leaves. The dewdrop was sure that it was the best, the most special dewdrop of them all.
     Ah, it was good to be a dewdrop.
     The  wind  blew  and  the plant began to shake,  tipping  (使倾斜)  the leaf . The  dewdrop  became
