    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 come from Belgium (比利时) originally. French fries are made of
potatoes, and they are cut and fried. The fried potatoes are called French fries because they were fist seen
by Americans in Belgium, but they were fried in the French way. The French way is to fry potatoes twice
with a small pause 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 that they made French fries at home. That"s how French fries were fist
introduced to America.
     French fries were called Belgian fries once, but the name was finally 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,

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容判断句子的正误。正确“A”，错误“B”。
When I was a boy, I didn"t have any hair on my head. So I was very shy. I liked to watch my friends play in the park. Sometimes I would join them, but most of the time I just watched them play. Every day, we would see an old man walking in the park. He had big ears and no hair. We thought he was dumb (哑的). Every time when my friends saw him, they would say loudly, "Hey, Mr. Dumb, what"s the time?" But they got no answer. One early evening, I was standing outside my house, and I saw the old man coming. I was not with any of my friends and there were no other kids around to say the usual words of "greeting (问候)". But how could I let the old man walk by without saying anything? So for the first time, I asked, "Hey, Mr. Dumb, what"s the time?" The old man looked at me. Then he looked at his watch and answered, "It"s six thirty." I ran into my house and never said that "greeting" to the old man after that day.
( )1. The boy often played with his friends together. ( )2. The boy"s friends were very polite to the old man. ( )3. Neither the boy nor the old man had any hair on the head. ( )4. Actually, the old man could hear and speak.
