People know and drink Coca-Cola all over the world. Hundreds of millions of people can know a Coke bottle by its shape and the famous Coca-Cola logo (商标) is also the most famous logo in the world with a history of 100 years.

But the story of Coca-Cola is even older than that. It was in 1886 that John Pemberton, a druggist in America, invented a new type of sweet liquid (液体), using coca leaves, sugar and cola nuts, plus a few other secret ingredients! Pemberton sold it as a medicine. And with its coca, he thought it must have made people feel good! However, Pemberton’s medicine was not very successful, so he sold his secret formula (配方) to another druggist, Asa Candler. Candler was interested in it because he thought that Pemberton’s “medicine” would be much better if being mixed with soda.

Candler was the man who really invented the drink Coca-Cola. At first he sold it in his drugstore. Then he began selling it to other drugstores, who used it with their soda fountains. Candler also advertised his new drink, and soon people love it. Before long some businessmen expected to sell it in bottles. Then the famous bottle was designed in 1916.

During the First World War, American soldiers in Europe began asking for Coca-Cola, so the company began to export (出口) to Europe. Today, it is made in countries all over the world and is the world’s most popular drink.

Jeanne Johnson lives near the ocean (海洋) in the USA. She is worried about the danger of tsunamis (海啸), so she bought a tsunami escape pod (逃生舱).

The pod is a bright orange ball. It is not very big, just 1.37 metres across. Two people can fit inside. It has a watertight (不漏水的) door and some windows. The pod can even provide air for the people inside and show where they are.

Julian Sharpe made the pod. He got the idea after a tsunami in 2004 in the Indian Ocean. It killed more than 226,000 people. He was on vacation near the ocean with his family. His kids were very young. Sharpe wondered how he could keep them safe if a tsunami happened. Then in 2011, a tsunami killed about 16,000 people in Japan. This was when Sharpe really started designing and making an escape pod strong enough to protect people from a tsunami.

Jeanne spent $13,500 on the pod. She has put some water, food, warm clothes and a radio in it. And she is practising getting into it quickly.

“The pod is really not comfortable,” said Jeanne. “But it’s better than nothing. I don’t think too much about tsunamis now. I can sleep well at night.”
