But the first barbecues, in fact,were the invention of the Taine Indians of Haiti, who dried their meat on raised
frames (架子) of sticks over fires. Spanish explorers spelled the Taine word as barbecue, and as time passed,
English settlers along the Atlantic coast had their own barbecues.
One summer day in 1773, Benjamin Lynda, a citizen of Massachusetts, wrote in his diary, "Fair and hot;
Browne; hack overset." That is, on a bright and hot day he went to the Brownes to attend a barbecue, and his
carriage (马车) fell over. It shows that the barbecue had its social occasion by that time. Large animals would
be roasted whole on frames over hot fires, and neighbors would be invited to dinner.
In later centuries, as settlers moved to the west, the barbecue went along with it, reaching an especially
large size in Texas, where a pit (坑) for fuels (燃料) such as tree branches might be over ten feet deep. Today,
the barbecue grills (烧烤架) which are fueled by charcoal (木炭) or electricity are likely to be small and easy to
move, and can cook only parts of an animal at a time, but people still have barbecues out of doors and always
invite their neighbors or friends over.

competition.
Before a big football game, supporters of each are certain to argue (争论) about which side will win.
Sometimes, however, one team appears so much stronger than the others that everyone agrees it will win.
The stronger team is a shoo-in. there is no way that it can lose.
The expression "shoo-in" comes from horse racing. It comes from the word "shoo". That is not the shoe
we wear on our feet. It"s another word, S-H-O-O. To shoo is an expression hundreds of years old that means
to force an animal to move in a desired direction.
Many years ago dishonest (不诚实) riders sometimes agreed secretly to control their horses so that one
chosen horse would win the race. All but one of the riders would hold back their horses. The chosen rider
would shoo his horse ahead of the others, and win the race.
The other riders would secretly bet (打赌) large amounts of money that the chosen horse would win. The
public (公众) soon learned about such races. They began to call the winner of such a race a "shoo-in".
These days, people use shoo-into describe (描述) any athlete (运动员) or competitor that seems certain to
win, even without cheating.

right. He won the gold medal.

B. The US runner Moses was worthy of (配的上) a shoo-in.
C. The public did not know they were being cheated.
D. Some runners bet a lot of money on the chosen horse.
