Lots of people love chocolate. Do you know how to make it? What does a chocolate factory look like? My class had a field trip to a chocolate factory in Toronto.
We visited an old building in ten groups. In the beginning, we put on some special clothes to make sure that we couldn’t dirty the workplace. After preparation(準(zhǔn)備), we went to the second floor and walked into the chocolate-making place. The floor was filled with different kinds of machines. Each machine has a different job. There are only two people working on the floor, because machines do most of the work.
In the next room, we learned about the history of chocolate making. There was a picture of the factory 100 years ago. They had more than 1,000 people working there. The factory is very different now. How greatly the technology(技術(shù)) is changing our life!
Later, we saw how machines made chocolate. We got a cocoa bean(可可豆), some powdered(粉末的) chocolate and a final chocolate. I opened the cocoa bean and tasted it. It doesn’t taste sweet at all, and it’s like dark chocolate. The best cocoa beans come from South America and Africa. Farmers dry them in the sun. Next, workers cook the beans at a high temperature. Machines took the shells(果殼) off the beans and made the beans into chocolate liquor which looks like water. Then, they put chocolate liquor and sugar together to make dark chocolate. If adding milk, they made milk chocolate. The machine made them smooth like silk.
Finally, we bought some chocolate at a shop in the factory. It was at a very low price. This field trip taught me how important technology is and I also leant a lot of knowledge about chocolate.

What makes Australia different? First, if you are traveling from Southeast Asia, you will cover about 4,500 miles (7,240 km). If you are from the Americas or South Africa, you will cover about 9000 miles (14,500 km). If you come from Europe, you will have to travel about 10,500 miles (17,000 km). It is not just a quick crossing by boat, or a walk over a bridge. It is a long way to “Down Under”. So there are surely to be cultural as well as geographical differences.
And then there is the size of it. It’s a long way from one side to the other. Perth, the capital of Western Australia, is the most isolated (孤立的) city in the world. It is closer to Singapore than to Sydney, which is about 1, 900 miles (3,000 km) away.
Most countries have probably had population growth, with much the same racial mix, for hundreds of years. Apart, of course, from the Aborigines (土著), who have been there for over 50,000 years, Australians have not been there long. The first Europeans came and lived just over 200 years ago. Most other foreigners arrived less than 50 years ago. Australia’s population has doubled since 1957, transforming what was perhaps one of the most boring nations to one of the most exciting, with many interesting differences of culture and custom.
Australians are generally warm-hearted and open. Perhaps they have taken the best from other foreign cultures, mixing them with the best of Aboriginal and early foreign cultures. Australians are also humorous. You are expected to be the same. It is said in Australia that all visitors must be able to take a joke. Learn to laugh at yourself, your country, and so on. And if you really want to be a social hit, tell jokes about yourself, your country, and the way you speak. There is almost nothing that cannot be laughed at. The important things in life such as traditions (like public festivals) are taken very lightly. Sport, however, is taken very seriously!
Today, Australia has one of the world’s highest standards of living, fine food and wine, a great sporting tradition, a colorful and high culture, and an affection for visitors.
1.How far will visitors travel from Europe to Australia?
2.Which is closer to Perth, Singapore or Sydney?
3.When did the first Europeans come to Australia?
4.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
5.According to Paragraph 4, what are Australians like?
