19.Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon about eighty years ago.The sailor in thatcartoon ate lots of spinach(菠菜) to make him strong.People watched him,and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach.Popeye helped sell 33percent more spinach than before!Spinach became a necessary part of many people's diets.Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong,but this is not true.Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake.About one thousand years ago,a group of people studied what was inside vegetables.This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did.The group wrote the number wrong,and everyone accepted it.
Today,we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is.However,spinach does have something else which the body needs-folic acid.
It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong.Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.

分析 文章大意:80年前大力水手成为一个第一个流行的卡通人物.为了让自己强壮,卡通里的这个水手吃很多菠菜.人们看了后,开始买许多菠菜吃.大力水手帮助卖了33%以上的菠菜.菠菜成为许多人饮食中必不可少的一部分.一些以前讨厌菠菜味道的孩子也开始吃这种蔬菜了.许多人们觉得菠菜中的铁让大力水手变得强壮,其实这并不是真的.与其他蔬菜相比,菠菜并没有更多的铁.因为研究食物的人犯了一个错误,所以人们单纯地误认为菠菜含有许多铁.大约一千年前,一群人研究蔬菜里面有什么.这个团队说菠菜铁含量是其他食物的10倍.这个团队给出了错误的数据,所以每个人都信以为真.今天我们知道菠菜含有的一点铁,不会对一个人是否强壮产生影响.然而,菠菜有其他蔬菜没有,而且是人身体所需要的叶酸.有趣的是叶酸可以让一个人强壮.也许一直以来是叶酸让大力水手变得强壮.
