题目内容

Potato chips are Americans’ favorite snacks(零食). Where do potato chips come from? In 1853 a native(本土) American named George Crum made the first potato chips. Crum was a chide(头目) in an expensive restaurant in Saratogasprings， New York. One day， a customer(顾客) did not like the French fries. He said they were too thick(厚的). So Crum made more， this time thinner. The customer still didn’t like them. Crum got unhappy. He decided to make the customer angry. So he cut the potatoes， very thin. The customer loved them.

Other people wanted Crum’s potato chips. Now， there was a new food on the menu— Saratoga chips. Soon Crum opened his own restaurant and made his special chips.

It took a long time to make potato chips. People peeled the potatoes by hand. Then in 1920，the automatic(自动的) potato peeler changed everything. Now it was faster and easier to make potato chips. Now potato chips were not a specialty. They were a popular snack food， but only in the north.

A salesman named Herman Lay wanted to sell potato chips in the south. He sold potato chips in bags. His business grew. Today， Americans eat a lot of potato chips every day.

1.Where did potato chips come from?

2.Who made the first potato chips?

3.Did the customer love the thick French fries?

4.Was it easy to make the potato chips after 1920? Why?

5.Who brought the potato chips to the south， Herman or George Crum?

Many Chinese students think American students enjoy more freedom than them at school. American schools also have their rules. If the students the rules, they will be punished, too.

On the first day of a new term, 128 students of Morton High School were home for wearing the wrong clothes. The number of the students in the school is 1,200. Usually only around 20 students break the school rule. So the headmaster, Theresa Mayerik, said it was the new term she had ever seen.

At Morton High School, students' clothing such as baggy(宽大的) trousers, low necked shirts and tank tops(紧身背心) are not allowed in classrooms. Some students think they have the right to choose what to , but the headmaster doesn't think so." I still agree even half the students in our school were sent home, because 99% will get the that our school is for education," the headmaster said.

“Freedom” does not “being free without restrictions(约束)”. That is to say, there is no complete freedom in the world, in the US and in China. Everyone should obey the rules, or he will be punished.
