If you grow up in America, you must know this little foodie(美食家)rhyme. "You scream! I scream! We all scream for ice cream!" For most Americans, the phrase "ice cream" brings out memories or summer. Ice cream is the oldest fashioned treat, and it has an ancient history.
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) are believed to have been the first to eat "a frozen milk-like dessert ", which was made with milk heated with flour. Later, camphor (樟腦)was added to improve the taste.
In Medieval Titles Arabs enjoyed an icy drink called sherbet (冰凍果子露). This cold drink often went with fruits. Over time, the drink became popular with the European upper class. Italians are said to have learned this drink-making skill, with the French following soon after. The 17th century saw ice drinks made into frozen desserts. With sugar added, sorbet(雪酪)was created. Antonio Latini (1632-1692)is the first person to create a milk-based sorbet, which is considered as the first "Official" ice cream.
It is impossible to say how exactly ice cream reached America, but it probably arrived with European settlers in the early 1700s. In 1790, the first ice cream store opened in New York. During the summer of the same year, our first president, George Washington, is said to have spent $200 to satisfy his thirst for the lovely treat.
Ice cream has become one of the most popular desserts in America. Apple pie might be the most traditional American dessert, but what is served as its most popular close friend? Vanilla(香草)ice cream, of course! This creamy iced treat has strongly planted itself in the hearts of foodies across America.

China and Western countries may have different cultural beliefs about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, they agree that pigs are ugly, lazy, stupid and shameless.
Just look at the idioms and phrases in our languages. In Chinese, we have the expressions of “Boiling a dead pig”, and “A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig". And in English, there are expressions such as “eating like a pig” and “sweating like a pig”. If you search on the Internet for the word “pig”, you will find more idioms. Here is another example. When old people have a dream to get to the top of Qomolangma, other people will laugh at them and say, “Pigs might fly.”
None of these expressions are exactly complimentary (稱贊的).
But the truth is that pigs do have some good qualities. And there’s probably no better time to clear their names than now during the Year of the Pig.
First of all, science proved that pigs aren’t stupid at all. According to a passage, pigs are similar to dogs and chimpanzees. They like to play. They have good long-term memories. And they know the difference between those who treat them well and those who don't.
There are lovable pig characters in cartoons, too. Peppa pig, for example, a UK cartoon has become one of the most popular cartoons in 180 countries and regions. It has attracted wide attention. In the cartoon’s pig family, they teach children about love, friendship, and the importance of family. And in China, McDull, a piglet (小豬崽 ) works hard toward his dreams even though he is in the face of quite a few failures. McDull is slow and patient, and not afraid of repeated failures. He has a heart of gold.
Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep in mind when we celebrate this Chinese New Year - their intelligence, cuteness, patience and innocence (純真).
Misunderstanding China and western countries are in 1.that pigs are not good. |
