The first chocolate was eaten by people in South America hundreds of years ago. In those days, the people did not really eat chocolate. They used the cocoa bean (可可豆) to make a chocolate drink and they enjoyed it very much. Many years later, the cocoa bean was brought to other countries and people came to love the taste of chocolate.
In 1824, John Cadbury opened a small shop in Britain. One of the things he sold was chocolate drink. In 1831, he opened a factory to make chocolate drink. He wanted to encourage people to drink chocolate instead of other drinks. A few years later, a man called Joseph Fry found a way to make chocolate bars (條狀巧克力), and so for the first time people had the chance to eat chocolate instead of only drinking it. But at that time chocolate was very expensive and only the rich people could buy it. Later, more and more chocolate bars were produced and sold, it became cheaper.
However, at first only plain chocolate (a kind of chocolate without milk and with very little sugar) was produced. Milk chocolate came later and this was made by adding milk to the chocolate. The first milk chocolate bar was made in Cadbury's factory in 1897. The most famous chocolate, Cadbury's Milk Bar, was made in 1905. It has been the most popular chocolate in Britain and around the world for over 100 years. The Cadbury factory is still in Britain and the chocolate produced there is eaten all over the world. Every year, thousands of visitors visit the factory in order to see how chocolate is made.

One year ago.I asked a worker to help me repair my old house.He had a bad first day on the job:his car broke on the way, then he found he had left his tools for work at home and his wife telephoned to say his son had a bad cold.While I drove him home, he was silent all the way.When arriving, he invited me to meet his family.
As we walked towards the front door, he stopped at a small tree, and touched the tree with hands.When we opened the door, I was very surprised to see he changed into another person and there was a big smile on his face instead.He hugged(擁抱)his son and gave his wife a kiss.
After a while, when he walked me to the car, I asked him why he had touched the tree just then."Oh, that's my trouble tree," he answered."Sometimes I have troubles on my job, but one thing is for sure, they don't belong to my wife and my son.So I just hang up(懸掛)the troubles on the tree every night when I come home.Then in the morning I pick them up."
“The funny thing is," he smiled, "when I come out in the morning to pick them up, I hardly remember what I put the night before."
