19.Do you think that French fries are really French?French fries are called"pommes frites"in France and they are not from France.French fries are from Belgian in origin(起源).French fries are made of potatoes,and they are cut and fried.The fried potatoes are called French fries because they were first seen by Americans in Belgium,but they were fried in the French way.The French way is to fry potatoes twice with a small break in the middle.
During World War I,there were a lot of hungry American soldiers in Northern France and Belgium.They ate French fries in Belgium.After the war was over,the soldiers went back home to America.However,they missed French fries so much,they made French fries at home.That's how French fries were first introduced to America.
French fries were called Belgian fries once,but the name was later changed to French fries.Sometimes French fries are just called fries.French fries are one of the most popular potato foods in America.American fast food restaurants such as McDonald's and Burger King have French fries on their menus.French fries are freshly fried,and usually served with hamburgers.
If you visit any fast food restaurant in America and order a hamburger,you will probably hear"You want fries with that?"Why don't you think about the history of French fries a little while,and say"Yes,please.Thank you."

18.Almost every kid in this country has ever eaten Hershey chocolate.But do you know that the Hershey chocolate factory is more than one hundred years old?And do you know that the father of Hershey Chocolate,Milton Hershey,had many failures in business before he started his famous company?
Milton Hershey grew up in Pennsylvania.Before he became interested in making chocolate,he worked as a printer for a small newspaper at first,and then decided that printing was not the right job for him.
Then he worked at a candy factory in Lancaster.After working a few years there,he decided to open his own little candy business near Philadelphia.His first business failed because it was not making money.After that,he went to Denver to learn how to make caramels(焦糖).He took his new skills back to New York and worked selling candies on the street.But his second business also failed.
Finally,Milton Hershey moved back to Pennsylvania where he grew up.He then experimented with all sorts of different candies and chocolate.By 1893he was selling a million dollars worth of caramel candy each year.Since his chocolate-flavored(巧克力味的) caramels were the best selling,he decided to make chocolate himself.
By experimenting,Milton Hershey discovered how to make delicious chocolate.The area where he lived had a large and easy supply of milk and sugar,which helped him succeed in his chocolate business.In 1903,Milton Hershey built a huge chocolate factory and a town to go with it.
Today,the town of Hershey is still the home if the factory that Milton Hershey built.And if you ever visit,you can smell delicious chocolate smells just bu driving through the town.
The factory is not so hard to find,Just travel down Cocoa Avenue until you get to East Chocolate Avenue.Turn right at the traffic lights and just follow your nose.
64.Who is the father of Hershey Chocolate?Milton Hershey
65.Where did he grow up?He grew up in Pennsylvania.
66.Why did he go to Denver?Because he wanted to learn how to make caramels.
67.Why did he decide to make chocolate himself?Because his chocolate-flavored caramels were the best selling
68.What might be the reasons for Hershey's success in his chocolate business?His courage,new skills,determination and the large and easy supply of milk and sugar.
17.Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom?Or in a waiting room full of strangers?Or on a bus?Researchers have found out some interesting facts.
    Perhaps unsurprisingly,we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves.Girls,sit by girls and
boys sit by boys.Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near.But it goes further than this.We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us.People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses.People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.
    We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitudes and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even,we think we may be safer with people who look like us.Sometimes that's true but it's a pity if we always stick to the same people,the same group.The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区) is that we just recycle the same opinions,the same tastes and the same ideas.We lose the chance to learn something new,find out about interesting things,hear funny stories and discover differences.
    When we always stick to the same people,how can we ever break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas?And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知),which too often leads to prejudice (偏见) and even fear?If instead you want to live in a society that opens to changes and new things and different opinions,be the cat among the pigeons.
    Move out of your comfort zone.Go and sit next to someone different.And don't just sit there in silence.Say hello.Ask a question.Start a conversation.That's how we make friends.That's how we learn about people.That's how we open our minds to new ideas.That's how we live an exciting life.

15.The life of the animals in the zoo is different from that in the wildlife park.
    In the zoo,most of the animals are very sad.They have to stay in cages all day and wait for the zoo keepers to feed them.They can't go out of the cages,so they have to walk round and round.
    However,the wildlife park is a good place for them.All the animals there live in the open air. They can run,jump and play happily,and look for food by themselves.They are protected there because people are not allowed to hunt.The most important thing is that they are free and happy in the wildlife park.
    Most of the animals in the wildlife park are friendly.But some are scary,such as lions,wolves and tigers.Don't worry.A special bus can take you to see the animals.You are quite safe inside the bus.How exciting it is if a tiger or a lion watches you through the window!
