24、The first chocolate was eaten by people in South America hundreds years ago. In those days, the people didn’t really eat chocolate. They used the coca bean(可可豆) to make a chocolate drink and they enjoyed it very much. Many years later, the coca bean was brought to other countries and people came to love the taste of chocolate.

In 1824, John Cadbury opened a small shop in British. 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(条状巧克力), 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, as 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 and sold. 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.

25、A new robot, Pepper, has been designed. It is considered as the world's first with the ability to read human emotions. Pepper looks slightly like Michelin Man. It is four-feet tall with a computer in its chest and human-like hands. Although it is not tall, Pepper is able to talk about everything from the weather to the latest events about the country.

Using its functions, Pepper can react(反应) to people nearby -- making jokes, dancing and even singing in different languages. Pepper can understand expressions, human voice and actions, then react through computer programmes. The designer hopes to create a robot that can understand people well, then it can take action. He also hopes robots can play roles in many ways, not just work in the industry. They provide fun at the home or store. Pepper is designed to be a family robot. It is powered by love inside a family. He not only makes people laugh, but also comforts those people who are sad or lonely and encourage them when natural disasters come.

Pepper will be on sale in Japan for around US$2,000 in February 2015. For now, several Peppers are shown at some stores in Tokyo for visitors. The designers want the robots to get so much knowledge that they can succeed in communicating with humans better before sale.

26、   I loved everything about school except for one person: Mildred.

Every day, as we walked home after school, she would step on the backs of my shoes. Then, when I stopped to adjust my shoes, Mildred would touch my back. She scared me.

Soon, my mother found something was wrong. I told her the whole story. My mom told me not to worry and said she had a plan.

The next morning, my mom walked up the hill with me. Just as we got to the top of the hill, we saw Mildred.

“Hello, Mildred,” my mom said quietly. Mildred stopped, standing as still as a statue (雕像). Her hands and face were bright red. Her oversized coat hung open. There were only two buttons (纽扣) on it.

My mother didn’t say anything at first. Instead, she buttoned up Mildred’s coat and turned the collar up around her neck.

“I’m Marion’s mother. I need your help, Mildred.” My mother’s hands held Mildred’s as she spoke. “Marion doesn’t have any brothers or sisters. She needs a best friend at school, someone to walk up the hill with her after classes are over. Would you be Marion’s friend, Mildred?”

Mildred chewed (咀嚼) on her bottom lip and nodded. “Oh, thank you!” my mother said. “I just know you are someone I can depend on.” Then she hugged us and left as though nothing unusual had happened.

Mildred and I walked on to school. As I looked over at her, I saw that Mildred was smiling! I’d never seen her smile before.

We walked up the hill each day after school together and pretty soon we became best friends.

I didn’t understand my mom’s plan at the time. But eventually, I came to understand her message: Love never fails.
