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 instead of only drinking it. But at that time chocolate was very expensive and only the rich people could buy it. Later, ad 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. Their 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.‎ ‎41.People had the chance to eat chocolate instead of drinking it for the first time .‎ A. when chocolate was cheaper B. when more and more chocolate was produced C. when John Cadbury started to make chocolate drink D. when Joseph Fry found a way to make chocolate bars.‎ ‎42.At first, not many people bought chocolate .‎ A. because it was very expensive ‎ B. because people didn’t like the taste C. because they wanted to have other drinks D. because there was no chocolate sold in the shops ‎43.Cadbury’s Milk Bar .‎ A. was first made in 1897‎ B. is a kind of plain chocolate C. is famous neither in Britain nor in ‎America D. is popular not only in Britain but also around the world B The Bilbies An Exciting New Musical Comedy for children.‎ ‎***Starring***‎ Wilby and Silby bilby Gaza‎ Galah Bettina Bunny Family Fun at good prices!‎ Child: $10 Adults: $14 Family: $38 (4 people)‎ Special Discounts for Group of 10 or more Opening January 1996‎ Pilgrim‎ Theatre ‎City ‎262 Pitt St‎ City (1 minute walk from Town Hall Station)‎ ‎2nd to 21st January Tuesday to Sunday ‎10:00 a.m.‎ & ‎‎2:30 p.m.‎ Parramatta‎ ‎Town Hall One Day only.

But you haven’t seen the real picture of your face yet. And why couldn’t you see it? When you look into a mirror, you don’t see your face as other people see it. You see a reversed picture. If you close your left eye, your picture closes its right eye. If you touch your right ear with your right hand, your picture touches its left ear with its left hand.‎ ‎ If you have two small mirrors, you can see your faces as your friends see it. You hold the two mirrors at right angles（角度） to each other and look into them. After some practice you will be able to see the real picture of your face.‎ ‎ Now close your left eye and your picture closes its left eye too. Touch your right ear with your right hand and your picture touches its right ear with its right hand! This happens because each mirror reflected（反射） the picture in the other mirror. So you see a reversed picture of a reversed picture, which, of course, is the same as the real picture. ‎ ‎47.
