fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners (路边小餐馆) for these reasons. In fact, many people in the State still go to diners today for the same reasons.
A man named Walter Scott had the first "diner" in 1872. It was not really a diner. It was only a food
cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late-night workers who
wanted a cup of coffee and all late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel
Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit
down. Later, people built diners with counters and stools and people sat down while they ate.
Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in a
diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dish, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent
buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.
Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all
three meals in a modern diner.
Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonald"s and Burger King. However, the
diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a
entury ago, and it is still popular today.
B. Because diner was a new word.
C. Because the first diner was not a real diner.
D. Because it is a special kind of restaurant.

B. three ways
C. four ways

a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes it"s an
ingredient (配料) in the main course of a meal. Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and
pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices (香料) like chili peppers.
Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree. The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say "Ugh!" and run away. Workers must first dry and then roast the beans. This removes the bitter taste.
The word "chocolate" comes from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived
in Mexico. They valued the cacao tree. Some used the beans for money, while others crushed them to
make a drink.
When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century, they started drinking cacao too.
Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine. No one had the idea of adding
sugar. The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes. Wealthy people drank cacao
and said it was good for the digestion.
In the 1800s, the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugar removed the bitter
taste of cacao. It quickly became a cheap and popular drink. Soon afterwards, a factory made the first
solid block of sweetened chocolate. Later on, another factory mixed milk and chocolate together. People
liked the taste of milk chocolate even better.
Besides the chocolate candy bar, one of the most popular American snacks is the chocolate chip
cookie. Favorite desserts are chocolate cream pie and, of course, an ice cream sundae with hot fudge
sauce.

Yuanxiao Festival is eating small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour. We call these balls Yuanxiao
or Tangyuan. Obviously, they get the name from the festival itself. It is said that the custom of eating
Yuanxiao originated during the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the fourth century, then became popular during the
Tang and Song periods.
The fillings inside the dumplings or Yuansiao are either sweet or salty. Sweet fillings are made of sugar, Walnuts, sesame (芝麻), osmanthus flowers (桂花), rose petals, sweetened tangerine (橘子)peel, bean
paste, or jujube paste (枣子酱). A single ingredient or any combination can be used as the filling . The
salty variety is filled with minced meat (肉末儿), vegetables or a mixture.
The way to make Yuanxiao also varies between northern and southern China. The usual method
followed in southern provinces is to shape the dough of rice flour into balls, make a hole, insert the filling,
then close the hole and smooth out the dumpling by rolling it between your hands. In North China, sweet
or nutmeat stuffing is the usual ingredient. The fillings are pressed into hardened cores, dipped lightly in
water and rolled in a flat basket containing dry glutinous rice flour. A layer of the flour sticks to the filling,
which is then again dipped in water and rolled a second time in the rice flour. And so it goes, like rolling a
snowball, until the dumpling is the desired size.
The custom of eating Yuanxiao dumplings remains. This tradition encourages both old and new stores
to promote their Yuanxiao products. They all try their best to improve the taste and quality of the dumplings to attract more customers.
B. Sugar, rose petals and minced meat are all fillings of Yuanxiao.

D. People in northern China usually make Yuanxiao by rolling like a snowball.
