When we think of chocolate, many of us think of candy bars and sweet. But this is not the history of chocolate. In fact, it comes from the cacao tree that is found in the tropical (热带的)forests in the middle and south America, because cacao beans need to grow in a hot and humid climate (湿热的气候).
The Mayas knew that they could get food and drink from the tree. The Aztecs first took the cacao beans
and broke them into pieces in hot water. The drink was delicious and energy-producing for the body.
When Columbus and Cortez came to America, they shipped cacao beans back to Spain. However, at first few people accepted the drink because the taste was strange. When Columbus gave the
information back to the Spanish Queen and King that one cup of chocolate from the cacao beans could provide a whole day’s energy for a man without the need for other food, attitudes (态度）quickly changed.
The need and the cost for chocolate produced by the cacao beans rose sharply. Soon all Europeans had fallen in love with chocolate. But chocolate was so expensive at that time that only the riches could afford this confection (甜食).At first, too much chocolate made people sick because more than half of the cacao bean is formed from fat, and few people knew how to remove the too much fat content (脂肪含量).Perhaps that is how we arrived at the expression, “Too much of a good thing can be bad for you.”

My mother was telling me about how she and her family got their first television when she was a teenager. Of course it was black and white. She said she only watched it at night. She didn't remember watching it in the morning or afternoon. When I was young we had only about 3 or 4 different channels. My brothers, my sisters and I would sometimes fight about which channel to watch. But we usually enjoyed the same shows.
Nowadays we can get hundreds of channels on TV. I can't believe it! There are channels with old movies, cooking, fishing and so on. Its amazing！ There is a channel for everything.
