【题目】What are the chances of a 100yearold chocolate candy falling in your treat bag this Halloween?Though Goo Goo Clusters may not be as familiar as Kit Kat or Hershey bars,people of all ages have enjoyed this Southern staple(产品)for an entire century.

In 1901,a 19yearold named Howell Campbell opened a candy store in Nashville,Tennessee.He made all kinds of sweets and hard candies with just two copper kettles and about a dozen employees.Then,in 1912,he made the first candy to combine chocolate with other ingredients such as caramel,marshmallow nougat,and peanuts.Originally,these clusters were handwrapped and sold under the counter at a few local stores with a sign reading,“A nourishing lunch for a nickel.” Now,they are known as Goo Goo Clusters.Nearly 20,000 of these chocolate treats are made per hour in a factory in Nashville.

What else makes a Goo Goo so special?“In addition to it being the very firstever combination confection created,its shape also makes it quite unique,” says Beth Sachan,Goo Goo Clusters' senior marketing manager.“The Goo Goo Cluster is a big,imperfectly round mound of deliciousness!”

The 100th anniversary of the Goo Goo Cluster is being celebrated throughout the month of October,the biggest candyselling month of the year.About 40 restaurants in the Nashville area have created unique desserts inspired by Goo Goo Clusters to serve to their customers.

Additionally,a Goo Goosponsored race called the “Jog'n Hog” was held in Nashville onOctober 13.Adults and children ran three miles to the finish line after eating at least one of six Goo Goo Clusters from a bag they were given at the halfway point.A golden Goo Goo was hidden in one of the bags.The winner received a $100 gift certificate to the candy's website,googoo.com.After the race,a scavenger hunt was held throughout the city.

【题目】A food chain is a simple way of explaining how each living thing gets its food.For example,a simple African food chain might consist of three parts:(1)trees and bushes;(2)giraffes; and(3)lions.Each link in a food chain is food for the next link.Food chains always start with plants and end with animals.

Plants are at the bottom of the food chain.Scientists call them producers,because they use light energy from the sun to produce food from carbon dioxide and water through photosynthesis(光合作用).Animals,unlike plants,can't produce their own food.Instead,they must eat plants or other animals.This is why scientists call them consumers.

Consumer animals fall into three categories.Herbivores eat only plants.Carnivores eat only other animals.Omnivores eat both plants and animals.In addition to producers and consumers,there are also decomposers.These organisms,such as bacteria and fungi,feed on decaying matter.They help the food chain by speeding up the decaying process that releases minerals back into the soil to be absorbed by plants as nutrients.

Most food chains have only four or five links in them.As you go up a food chain,the amount of energy at each level diminishes,because some of the energy is lost in the form of waste or is used up by the organism at that level.That is why it takes many plants,for example,to feed a few giraffes who in turn feed one lion.

Most animals are part of many different food chains,because they must eat more than one type of food to satisfy their energy needs.All of these interconnected food chains form a more complex structure called a food web.Humans,for example,are at the center of a very complex food web,because we tend to eat many different types of plants and animals.
