a cook at Moon Lake Restaurant, in Saratoga Springs, New York. A guest complained (抱怨) that the fried (炸)
potatoes that Crum had cooked were too thick. Crum thought the guest was making trouble. In retum he cut
potatoes paper thin and fried them.
The guest loved what soon became known as "Saratoga Chips", and the new dish became the most popular
in the restaurant. Other restaurants in the eastern United States borrowed the idea, but potato chips were not
produced for home use until William Tappenden of Cleveland, Ohio, started the first potato-chip factory in
Cleveland.
Potatoes are made up of about 25% solids, mostly starches (淀粉) and sugar, and 75% water. But they
are not always so. Marsha McNcil Sherman, Director of Fast Food Association in Los Angeles, explains:
"Cenerally, more of the water can be found in the middle of the potato. Frying is a way to dry the potato. So,
the edges of potatoes are fried faster than the middle."
B. In Ohio.
C. In New York.
D. In Los Angeles.
B. Starches.
C. Sugar.
D. Water.
B. Because they are thinner.
C. Because they have fewer solids.
D. Because they are softer.

History: Potatoes came from South America. We know that the people of Peru were eating potatoes
as long as 2,000 years ago.
Potatoes were not widely grown in Europe (欧洲) until the early 19th century.
Production: The first chip factory in Britain was opened in the early 1900s by Frank Smith. For about
50 years, Smith's Chips were the only ones that you could buy. Potatoes are cut, cooked in vegetable oil
(油), dried and packed. It takes only 12 minutes to turn a potato into a bag of chips.
Chips are the most popular snack (零食) in the UK. Around 8,500 million bags are sold every year.
Each person eats 3.5 kg every year.

Believe it or not: the more TV you watch, the 【小题1】 (little) happiness you get. This is the result of a new study. It shows that unhappy people watch more TV than happy people.
Well, you may say that you enjoy 【小题2】 (watch ) TV. In fact, TV gives you happiness for a short time, but unhappiness for a long time.
Why? It is because, if you watch TV, you cannot take part in many other good 【小题3】 (activity). And sometimes, if you are unhappy, you 【小题4】 (usual) prefer being a couch potato(整天坐在沙发上看电视的人)，right? Watching TV is relaxing to you.
Then if you want to be happy, what should you do? You can read newspapers, visit 【小题5】 (you) friends, go to parties, … but don’t watch television all the time. Now turn off the TV, and take a walk outside. It’s the 【小题6】 (one) step to being happy!
Nothing beats sitting down in front of the TV with some delicious candy or tasty French fries.
Recently, an online list of favorite snacks in China became popular. It says that peanuts (花生), walnuts (核桃) and chocolate are good for our health, but jelly (果冻), potato chips and lollipops (棒棒糖) are “bad” for us.
Kids, though, hardly care if the snacks are good or bad for their health. They love them either way. Some snacks often have special importance in a certain country or culture.
Potato chips and French fries are very popular in the US. They are cheap and tasty. People don’t need to wait for a long time to eat it. Popcorn is another common snack. People love eating it when they are watching sports games or visiting the amusement park. Most cinemas sell it to attract customers.
In the UK, kids often sit down for snacks after school. They call this “afternoon tea”. A traditional afternoon tea includes biscuits (饼干) and tea. People also have scones (烤饼) with jam and cream, which is probably the most classic English snack.
In South Korea, Choco Pie is one of the most popular snacks. It’s also a favorite of soldiers. The sweet snack makes them happy and helps them get through hard times.
However, it is not just about what you eat as a snack – it’s how much you eat and when. Chips and French fries are high in calories(卡路里) and eating too much may make you fat. Sweet snacks like candy and chocolate are high in sugar and eating a lot may give you bad teeth.
