We now think of chocolate as sweet, but once it was bitter. We think of it as a candy, but once it was a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes it’s an ingredient 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 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.
【小題1】It was _______ that discovered sugar could remove the bitter taste of cacao.
A.The workers in the chocolate factory | B.The Spaniards |
C.The people in England | D.The owner of a chocolate factory |
A.Nobody had the idea of adding sugar until the sixteenth century. |
B.The word “chocolate” comes from a Mexican word. |
C.The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys like them. |
D.Workers must dry and roast the beans to remove the bitter taste. |
A.it was strong and bitter. | B.it was good for digestion. |
C.it cured man’s diseases. | D.it was a kind of drink for good health. |
A.a(chǎn)-b-c-d-e | B.c-d-e-b-a | C.c-d-a-b-e | D.c-d-b-e-a |
A.chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or a candy bar |
B.Mexicans like chocolate very much |

When most of us hear the word chocolate, the verb that comes to mind is probably “eat”, not “drink”, and the most proper adjective would seem to be “sweet”. But for about 90 percent of chocolate’s long history, it was strictly a beverage (飲料), and sugar didn’t have anything to do with it.
The Origin of Chocolate
Many modern historians have estimated that chocolate has been around for about 2000 years, but recent research suggests that it may be even older.
In the book The True History of Chocolate, authors Sophie and Michael Coe prove that the earliest linguistic (語言學(xué)的) evidence of chocolate consumption dates back three or even four thousand years.
Valuable and Fashionable Chocolate Beverage
It’s hard to discover exactly when chocolate was born, but it’s clear that it was cherished from the start. For several centuries in pre-modern Latin America, cacao beans were considered valuable enough to use as currency. 100 beans could purchase a good turkey hen, according to a 16th-century Aztec document.
Sweetened chocolate didn’t appear until Europeans discovered the Americas and sampled (品嘗) the native cuisine. Chocolate didn’t suit the foreigners’ taste at first — one described it in his writings as “a bitter drink for pigs” — but once mixed with honey or cane sugar, it quickly became popular throughout Spain. By the 17th century, chocolate was a fashionable drink throughout Europe, believed to have nutritious, medicinal functions. But it remained largely a privilege of the rich until the invention of the steam engine made mass production possible in the late 1700s.
The Birth of Solid Chocolate
In 1828, a Dutch chemist found a way to make powdered chocolate. His product became known as “Dutch cocoa”, and it soon led to the creation of solid chocolate. In 1847, Joseph Fry created the first modern chocolate bar. By 1868, a little company called Cadbury was marketing boxes of chocolate candies in England. Milk chocolate hit the market a few years later.
Prosperous Chocolate Industry
In America, chocolate was so valued during the Revolutionary War that it was used instead of wages. Even now, statistics show that the humble cacao bean is still a powerful economic force. Chocolate manufacturing is a more than 4-billion-dollar industry in the United States, and the average American eats at least half a pound of the stuff per month.
1.The earliest chocolate was most probably _________.
A. a dish B. a drink C. a bar D. a candy
2. It can be inferred from the passage that ________________.
A. the history of chocolate is at most 4,000 years.
B. people around the world could buy things with chocolate.
C. chocolate was well paid attention to since it was born.
D. an American at least eats a pound of chocolate per month.
3.Why did chocolate suit the Spanish’s taste so quickly? _________
A. Because chocolate was so tasty and bitter.
B. Because chocolate was believed to be a source of nutrition.
C. Because chocolate was sweetened with honey or cane sugar.
D. Because chocolate became a fashionable beverage.
4.Which one shows the correct order according to the time of their appearing? _________
A. chocolate beverage----chocolate bar----chocolate candies----milk chocolate
B. chocolate bar----chocolate beverage----chocolate candies----milk chocolate
C. chocolate bar ----chocolate candies ----milk chocolate ---- chocolate beverage
D. chocolate beverage ----chocolate candies----chocolate bar---- milk chocolate
