Pizza: the World's Favorite Food
Food, and the way we eat it, is always changing. As society develops, we learn new ways of growing, processing and cooking food. What we ate 200 years ago was very different from what we eat today. Also, when people travel to live in other countries, they take their knowledge of cooking with them. And food must fit modern lifestyles and local tastes, too. One food that has done this successfully is pizza.
The pizza we recognize today first appeared in Italy in 1889. A famous baker from Naples made a special Pizza for the Italian royal (皇室的) family. He was very worried they wouldn't like it, but they did. Queen Margherita loved the dish so much, and the baker named it after her. Since then, this simple meal of bread, cheese and tomato has traveled the world, and it has adapted (適應) to local cultures. The pizza began its journey in the 1890s, when many Indians moved to New York in search of a better life. There they continued to make pizzas, and the first pizzeria opened in 1905.
At first it was only popular with Indians, but by the late 1940s, Americans discovered a taste for it. Today they spend $37 billion a year on pizzas. That's more than $100 per American.
The Pizza continued its travels around the world, adapting all the time. In Sweden, for example, it is usual to have bananas on pizzas. In Belgium, people eat chocolate pizzas with marshmallows on top. Japan is a nation of seafood lovers, so not surprisingly, they love octopus and squid, as well as roasted seaweed, toppings. Australians sometimes choose kangaroo or crocodile on their pizza.
The popularity of the pizza is also related to our changing lifestyles. In today's super-fast society, people often don't have the time or energy to cook. So, they order take-out and very often, it's a pizza. Sometimes you don't even have to pick it up, it's delivered (遞送) to your home. If you don't even have time to sit down, buy a single slice and eat it standing up.
The Pizza has come a long way. From its beginnings in an Italian city, it has grown to become one of the world's favorite foods.

As William Shakespeare is to literature in English, so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary tradition. Recently, a new BBC documentary, which is aiming at introducing the beauty and fascination of traditional literature, was brought to the public.
It records the poet - Du Fu’s life experiences. Bom in 712, Du lived under the rule of die Tang Emperor Xuanzong (713-756) (唐玄宗統(tǒng)治時期) a golden time in the long history of China. However, as the An Lushan Rebellion (安史之亂) of 755 broke out, Du, had to take his family on the road as refugees (難民) and suffered a lot along the way. Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing and about 1,500 poems have been kept over the ages. In these poems, he stated his worries for his country and people as well as the importance of celebrating the simple joys of life.
“Chinese people really value the recording of history and Du is better than anyone at doing that in his poems. Historical events are mirrored both in his own life and spiritual journey,” Zeng Xiangbo, a professor told China Daily.
Even though he never held a high position in the government, Du still cared about common people. For example, in the poem My Cottage Unroofed By Autumn Gales (《茅屋為秋風所破歌》), he wrote that “Could I get mansions covering ten thousand miles, I’d house all scholars poor and make them beam with smiles.”
“That’s why he was honored as a Poet Sage (詩圣) by Chinese people. A difficult life and his spirit of caring about the world helped him create so many great works,” Shi Wenxue told the Global Times.
1.What is the purpose of the new BBC documentary?
_________________________________________________________________________________
