Question

Do you like eating ice cream？Do you know how ice cream spread in the world?

The earliest ice was eaten in China many years ago. People put fruit juice into ice. Later，this idea spread to Italy. Nero，the emperor of Roma between 54 AD and 68 AD，liked to eat ice between violin lessons. He ordered runners to run to the mountains，get snow and quickly run back to the palace. The snow was mixed with fruit juice and honey.

Around 1660，coffee shops serving ice cream were very popular in Paris. Most of the coffee shops were owned by Italians. The first successful one was opened by a man from Italy named Francesco Procopio.

Ice cream was probably to America in the early 1700s，and it quickly became the favorite of American presidents. George Washington had ice cream machines in his kitchen. Dolly Madison，the wife of President Madison，was the first one to serve her guests ice cream in the White House.

Before ice cream was sold in stores，it was made and frozen(冷冻) at home. It took lots of work to mix cream，eggs，fruit，ice and salt，and then to freeze it. Nancy Johnson，an American woman made the hand－turned ice cream freezer in 1846.Five years later，Jacob Flusell opened the first ice cream business in Baltimore，Maryland. His business quickly spread to other states.
