As a research shows, when it comes to strong emotion, the once serious British are now happy to shed tears quite openly.

"30% of all British males have cried in the last month.That is a very high figure," said Peter Marsh, director of the Social Issues Research Center."Only 2% said they could not remember when they last cried", the head of the research group said.Long gone is the "No Tears — We’ re British" time when emotion was considered a bad form."Among 2,000 people, very few in their forties or fifties had seen their father cry.Now it is twice as many, he told reporters."77% of men considered crying in public increasingly acceptable." Almost half the British men opened the floodgates over a sad movie, book or TV program.Self-pity got 17% crying. 9% cried at weddings.

From the days of Empire, the British have always considered themselves models of reserve (含蓄), laughing at "excitable foreigners" who show no self-control.

Marsh argued the difference was still there: "We have probably not caught up with the Americans or the Italians when it comes to expressing emotions."

"But we are clearly changing.What we take as typical British reserve has significantly faded."

Women’ s battle for equal rights has certainly had an effect -- both in the workplace and at home. "Men in their twenties or thirties are interacting (交互影响) with women on equal terms much more than a generation ago. They have to relate to the opposite sex. Women become more man-like and men become more female.That transfers into the workplace too." Marsh said.

We now think of chocolate as sweet, but once it was bitter.We think of it as a candy, but once it was a medicine.Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack.Sometimes it is part of the main course of a meal.Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and pour it over chicken.The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices like chili peppers.

Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree.The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say “Ugh!” and run away.Workers must first dry and then roast the beans.This removes the bitter taste.

The word “chocolate” comes from a Mayan word.The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico. They valued the cacao tree. Some used the beans for money, while others crushed them to make a drink.

When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century, they started drinking cacao too. Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine.No one had the idea of adding sugar.The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes.Wealthy people drank cacao and said it was good for the digestion.

     In the 1800s, the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao.It quickly became a cheap and popular drink.Soon afterwards, a factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate.Later on, another factory mixed milk and chocolate together.People liked the taste of milk chocolate even better.
