McDonald's In 1955, a man named Raymond Kroc entered a partnership with two brothers named McDonald. They opened a popular restaurant in Califor-nia which sold food that was easy toprepare and serve quickly. Hamburgers, French fries and cold drinks were the main food there.Kroc opened similar eating places under the same name,McDonald's, and they were an instant success. He later took over the company, and today it is one of the most famous and successful fast-food restaurants in America and the world. Why was his idea so successful? Probably the most important reason was that his timing was right. In the ]950s,most married women stayed home to keep house and take care of their children. In the 1960s, many women returned to the work place. This meant that they had less time and energy for housework and preparation of meals, so they depended more on TV dinners and fast-food restaurants. Single parents also have little time to spend in the kitchen. People living alone also depend on this type of food, since cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth. Fast-food is not part of all Americans lives. Another trend of the 1960s, sometimes called the back-to-nature movement,influenced many people to avoid food that was packaged and processed. This preference for natural food continues to this day. From the success of Raymond Kroc's fast-food business,we can say that social and economic trends influence where and what we eat. 麦当劳 1955年,一位名为雷蒙德·克劳克的人与两位名为麦当劳的兄弟合伙,在加州开了一家颇受欢迎的小餐馆,销售制作方便服务快捷的食物。
那里的主打食品是汉堡、炸薯条和冷饮。
克劳克用同样的名字—一麦当劳开了几家类似的餐厅,迅速获得了成功。
后来他接管了这个公司,今天它成为美国和世界最有名、最成功的“快餐”厅之一。
他的想法为什么会如此成功呢?也许最重要的原因是因为他时机正好。
20世纪50年代,大多数已婚妇女呆在家里做家务、照顾孩子。
而在60年代,许多妇女回去工作。
这就意味着她们做家务、准备食物的时间、精力减少了,因此她们更多地依赖于“电视晚餐”和快餐店。
单亲家庭中父母也很少有时间花在厨房里。
独自居住的人也依赖于这种食物,因为一个人做饭经常太麻烦,不值当费那功夫。
快餐并不是所有美国人生活的一部分。
20世纪60年代还有另一种有时被成为“返璞归真”运动的趋势,影响了很多人,他们避免食用经过包装和加工的食物。
这种对天然食物的青睐一直持续到今天。
从雷蒙德·克劳克快餐生意的成功中,我们可以说社会和经济趋势会影响我们就餐的地点和食物的选择。

To tell you the truth, I am not perfect .But I dare to say I tried hard to be an all-round one, to keep up with my dream. I have been dreaming to further my study in Beijing---my dearest grandpa’s hometown. Such was my life of yesterday. Now I am standing in Shenzhen , which never appeared in my dream. But I accepted it at the first sight of the beautiful campus, the friendly teachers as well as the helpful schoolmates. Here I picked up my dream, for I can do something I am really interested in. To learn Deutsch, to do broadcasting program and to be a hostess.

帮忙写篇关于巧克力的英文演讲稿
Just briefly on the etymology of the word “chocolate”, the word chocolate probably domes from “chocolatl”, a Spanish combination of the Maya word for “hot water” and the Aztec word for “bitter water.”咱们简单地从“巧克力”这个词的起源说起吧。
“巧克力”这个词大致起源于“chocolatl”,它是一个合成西班牙语,合成自玛雅语“热水”和阿芝特克语“苦水”。
Chocolate comes in many forms today. Regardless of the type, processing begins by extracting, fermenting, drying, and roasting the cacao seeds (also called beans), removing the shell and skin, and leaving the tasty nibs. 如今,巧克力正以多种多样的形式出现。
我们先不提它们的形状,其加工过程始于提炼、接着发酵、干燥,然后烘烤可可种子(也称为可可豆),去壳去皮,最后留下美味的核。
There are three main forms of chocolate that one sees regularly. These are milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate. 大家通常看到的巧克力主要有三种口味,牛奶巧克力、纯巧克力和白巧克力。
Milk chocolate is a mixture of chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, milk, sugar, and flavorings. All milk chocolate made in the U.S. contains at least 10% chocolate liquor and 12% whole milk. 牛奶巧克力由巧克力乳液、可可油、牛奶、糖和其它调味材料混合而成。
美国制造的牛奶巧克力都含有至少10%巧克力乳液和12%全脂牛奶。
There are two kinds of dark chocolate. The first bittersweet and semisweet chocolate are the darkest eating chocolates and have at least 35% chocolate liquor. Sweet dark chocolate contains 15% to 35% chocolate liquor and less than 12% milk solids. It may also contain ingredients like condensed milk, cocoa butter, sugar, and vanilla. 纯巧克力主要有两种,一种是半苦半甜型巧克力,这是最纯的巧克力,至少含有35%巧克力乳液。
甜纯巧克力含有15%至35%巧克力乳液和低于12%固体牛奶。
当然,甜纯巧克力里也会含有其它成份,如炼乳、可可油、糖和香草等。
White chocolate is a blend of cocoa butter, milk, sugar, and flavorings. It contains no cocoa solids, and many people don’t consider it chocolate at all! 白巧克力是用可可油、牛奶、糖和其它调味成分混合制作而成的。
其内并不含有任何可可固体成分,因此许多人认为这根本就不是巧克力

现在大家接触巧克力最多的场合当属“情人节”前男女双方为对方购买包装精美的巧克力作为礼物。
可是当你美滋滋地在品尝情人送的巧克力时,你可想到过它的发明者和由来
我相信,如果大家下次再送巧克力作为情人礼物时,引经据典地讲讲巧克力的来历,肯定会让你的恋人倾倒不已
American-made chocolate and cocoa(可可) products number in the hundreds. There is a fascinating(迷人的)story behind these wonderful products. Chocolate Through the Years The story of chocolate, as far back as we know it, begins with the discovery of America. Until 1492, the Old World(指欧洲大陆,相对于美洲大陆)knew nothing at all about the delicious and stimulating flavor富有刺激性的口味) that was to become the favorite of millions. The Court of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella got its first look at the principal ingredient(调料、原料)of chocolate when Columbus returned in triumph from America and laid before the Spanish throne(王位)a treasure trove of many strange and wonderful things. Among these were a few dark brown beans(豆)that looked like almonds(杏仁)and seemed most unpromising(无指望的). They were cocoa beans, today's source of all our chocolate and cocoa. The King and Queen never dreamed how important cocoa beans could be, and it remained for Hernando Cortez(科尔特斯), the great Spanish explorer, to grasp(把握住)the commercial possibilities of the New World offerings. Food of the Gods During his conquest of Mexico, Cortez found the Aztec Indians(阿兹特克印第安人)using cocoa beans in the preparation of the royal drink of the realm, chocolate, meaning warm liquid. In 1519, Emperor Montezuma, who reportedly drank 50 or more portions daily, served(提供,招待) chocolate to his Spanish guests in great golden goblets(高脚杯), treating it like a food for the gods. For all its regal(王室的) importance, however, Montezuma's chocolate was very bitter(苦), and the Spaniards did not find it to their taste. To make the concoction(调制品) more agreeable to Europeans, Cortez and his countrymen conceived the idea of sweetening it with cane sugar. The new drink quickly won friends, especially among the Spanish aristocracy(贵族). Spain wisely proceeded to plant cacao in its overseas colonies, which gave birth to a very profitable(利润高的) business. Remarkably enough, the Spanish succeeded in keeping the art of the cocoa industry a secret from the rest of Europe for nearly a hundred years. Chocolate Spreads to Europe Spanish monks, who had been consigned(托运) to process the cocoa beans, finally let the secret out. It did not take long before chocolate was acclaimed(受到欢迎) throughout Europe as a delicious, health-giving food. For a while it reigned(主宰)as the drink at the fashionable Court of France. Chocolate drinking spread across the Channel to Great Britain, and in 1657 the first of many famous English Chocolate Houses(作坊)appeared. The 19th Century marked two more revolutionary developments in the history of chocolate. In 1847, an English company introduced solid eating chocolate through the development of fondant(半软糖) chocolate, a smooth and velvety(光滑柔和)variety that has almost completely replaced the old coarse grained(颗粒粗糙的) chocolate which formerly dominated(统领) the world market. The second development occurred in 1876 in Vevey, Switzerland, when Daniel Peter devised a way of adding milk to the chocolate, creating the product we enjoy today known as milk chocolate. Chocolate Comes to America In the United States of America, the production of chocolate proceeded at a faster pace than anywhere else in the world. It was in pre-Revolutionary New England-1765, to be exact-that(可以肯定地说)the first chocolate factory was established in this country. During World War II, the U.S. government recognized chocolate's role in the nourishment(营养品)and group spirit(士气、团队精神) of the Allied Armed Forces, so much so that(到这样的程度以至于)it allocated valuable shipping space(分配宝贵的船舱空间)for the importation(运输) of cocoa beans. Many soldiers were thankful for the pocket chocolate bars(块、条) which gave them the strength to carry on until more food rations(配给)could be obtained. Today, the U.S. Army D-rations(美国陆军D类配给食品) include three 4-ounce chocolate bars(4盎司巧克力块)late has even been taken into space as part of the diet(食品供应、食谱)astronauts(宇航员).——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————When it comes to chocolate, order dark Dark chocolate -- but not white chocolate - may help reduce blood pressure and boost the body's ability to metabolize sugar from food, according to the results of a small study. After eating only 100 grams, or 3.5 ounces, of dark chocolate every day for 15 days, 15 healthy people had lower blood pressures and were more sensitive to insulin, an important factor in metabolizing sugar. In contrast, eating roughly the same amount of white chocolate for the same period of time did not affect either blood pressure or insulin sensitivity. This is not the first study to demonstrate potential health benefits of dark chocolate, which contains high levels of a kind of antioxidant called flavonoids. Research shows that flavonoids that can help maintain a healthy heart and good circulation and reduce blood clotting, which can lead to heart attacks and stroke. 吃巧克力时,选黑巧克力 一项小规模研究的结果表明,黑巧克力可能有助于降低血压、促进人体对食物中的糖分的代谢能力,而白巧克力则没有这些功能。
在连续15天每日食用100克或3.5盎司黑巧克力之后,15名健康的受试者的血压有所降低,而且对胰岛素更为敏感--胰岛素是促进体内糖分代谢的重要成分。
相比之下,同样在15天中食用大致相同数量的白巧克力对血压和胰岛素的敏感性并没有影响。
这已经不是有关黑巧克力可能有益健康的第一项研究。
黑巧克力富含一种叫作类黄酮的抗氧化剂,研究表明类黄酮有助于保持心脏的健康和血液循环的畅通,并减少可能导致心脏病和中风的血栓。
雾霾对我们的影响和危害 英语作文演讲稿含中文
Haze is air pollution in which is mixed upwith dust,smoke and other dry particles ,and it obscure the clarity of the skyand interacts with the natural environment. 雾霾原因 This kind of air pollutant come from avariety of natural and manmade sources.Natural sources can include windblowndust,and soot from wildfires.Manmade sources can include motor vehicles,andindustrial fuel burning,and manufacturing operations.The one of the maincause that touches off haze is manufacturing operations.Many factories wereover measure produced the smog that had over the standard and the smogseriously influence the air become air pollution. 雾霾危害 The components that make up haze may havenegative effect on people's health especially that of the children and theelderly.Also not excluded are those who have certain diseases such as asthma,allergy,and pneumonia and lung disease.Workers working in the open air have ahigh risk in their health. 解决方法 Oneof effective solutions to help eliminate haze is to make some chemistry changesduring the manufacturing process,so it could reduce harmful emissions which areproduced by manufacturing operations雾霾是空气污染混合了灰尘,烟雾和其他干颗粒,它掩盖天空的清晰度与自然环境。
雾霾原因这种空气污染物来自各种自然的和人为的来源。
自然源包括扬尘和煤烟,野火。
人为来源可以包括机动车辆,工业燃料的燃烧,和制造业务的一个主要原因。
触动了烟雾是制造业务。
许多工厂产生的烟雾,有人测量过标准和smogseriously影响空气成为空气污染。
雾霾危害让阴霾的成分会造成负面影响对人们的健康尤其是儿童和老年人。
也不排除是那些有某些疾病如哮喘,过敏,肺炎和肺部疾病。
在露天作业的工人对他们的健康有很高的风险。
解决方法一个有效的解决方案,以帮助消除雾霾是使一些化学变化制造过程,从而减少有害气体排放,生产的制造业务(温馨提示:出行戴京@东有美国进口普卫欣可以减少雾霾吸入)
世界经典著名演讲稿
美国当地1月20日上午12点05分(北京时间21日凌晨1点05分),第44届美国总巴马发表了就职演说。
为演讲全文实录: 我的同胞们, 今天我站在这里,看到眼前面临的重大任务,深感卑微。
我感谢你们对我的信任,也知道先辈们为了这个国家所作的牺牲。
我要感谢布什总统为国家做出的贡献,以及感谢他在两届政府过渡期间给与的慷慨协作。
迄今为止,已经有44个美国总统宣誓就职。
总统的宣誓有时面对的是国家的和平繁荣,但通常面临的是乌云密布的紧张形势。
在紧张的形势中,支持美国前进的不仅仅是领导人的能力和远见,也在于美国人民对国家先驱者理想的信仰,以及对美国立国文件的忠诚。
前辈们如此,我们这一代美国人也要如此。
现在我们都深知,我们身处危机之中。
我们的国家在战斗,对手是影响深远的暴力和憎恨;国家的经济也受到严重的削弱,原因虽有一些人的贪婪和不负责任,但更为重要的是我们作为一个整体在一些重大问题上决策失误,同时也未能做好应对新时代的准备。
我们的人民正在失去家园,失去工作,很多且要倒闭。
社会的医疗过于昂贵、学校教育让许多人失望,而且每天都会有新的证据显示,我们利用能源的方式助长了我们的敌对势力,同时也威胁着我们的星球。
统计数据的指标传达着危机的消息。
危机难以测量,但更难以测量的是其对美国人国家自信的侵蚀——现在一种认为美国衰落不可避免,我们的下一代必须低调的言论正在吞噬着人们的自信。
今天我要说,我们的确面临着很多严峻的挑战,而且在短期内不大可能轻易解决。
但是我们要相信,我们一定会度过难关。
今天,我们在这里齐聚一堂,因为我们战胜恐惧选择了希望,摒弃了冲突和矛盾而选择了团结。
今天,我们宣布要为无谓的摩擦、不实的承诺和指责画上句号,我们要打破牵制美国政治发展的若干陈旧教条。
美国仍是一个年轻的国家,借用《圣经》的话说,放弃幼稚的时代已经到来了。
重拾坚韧精神的时代已经到来,我们要为历史作出更好的选择,我们要秉承历史赋予的宝贵权利,秉承那种代代相传的高贵理念:上帝赋予我们每个人以平等和自由,以及每个人尽全力去追求幸福的机会。
在重申我们国家伟大之处的同时,我们深知伟大从来不是上天赐予的,伟大需要努力赢得。
(我们的民族一路走来),这旅途之中从未有过捷径或者妥协,这旅途也不适合胆怯之人、或者爱安逸胜过爱工作之人、或者单单追求名利之人。
这条路是勇于承担风险者之路,是实干家、创造者之路。
这其中有一些人名留青史,但是更多的人却在默默无闻地工作着。
正是这些人带领我们走过了漫长崎岖的旅行,带领我们走向富强和自由。
为了我们,先辈们带着微薄的细软,横渡大洋,寻找新生活;为了我们,先辈们忍辱负重,用血汗浇铸工厂;为了我们,先辈们在荒芜的西部大地辛勤耕作,定居他乡;为了我们,先辈们奔赴(独立战争中的)康科德城和葛底斯堡、(二战中的)诺 一次又一次,我们的先辈们战斗着、牺牲着、操劳着,只为了我们可以生活得更好。
在他们看来,美国的强盛与伟大超越了个人雄心,也超越了个人的出身、贫富和派别差异。
今天我们继续先辈们的旅途。
美国依然是地球上最富裕、最强大的国家。
同危机初露端倪之时相比,美国人民的生产力依然旺盛;与上周、上个月或者去年相比,我们的头脑依然富于创造力,我们的商品和服务依然很有市场,我们的实力不曾削弱。
但是,可以肯定的是,轻歌曼舞的时代、保护狭隘利益的时代以及对艰难决定犹豫不决的时代已经过去了。
从今天开始,我们必须跌倒后爬起来,拍拍身上的泥土,重新开始工作,重塑美国。
我目之所及,都有工作有待完成。
国家的经济情况要求我们采取大胆且快速的行动,我们的确是要行动,不仅是要创造就业,更要为(下一轮经济)增长打下新的基础。
我们将造桥铺路,为企业铺设电网和数字线路,将我们联系在一起。
我们将回归科学,运用科技的奇迹提高医疗质量,降低医疗费用。
我们将利用风能、太阳能和土壤驱动车辆,为工厂提供能源。
我们将改革中小学以及大专院校,以适应新时代的要求。
这一切,我们都能做到,而且我们都将会做到。
现在,有一些人开始质疑我们的野心是不是太大了,他们认为我们的体制承载不了太多的宏伟计划。
他们是健忘了。
他们已经忘了这个国家已经取得的成就;他们已经忘了当创造力与共同目标以及必要的勇气结合起来时,自由的美国人民所能发挥的能量。
这些怀疑论者的错误在于,他们没有意识到政治现实已经发生了变化,长期以来耗掉我们太多精力的陈腐政治论争已经不再适用。
今天,我们的问题不在于政府的大小,而在于政府能否起作用,政府能否帮助家庭找到薪水合适的工作、给他们可以负担得起的医疗保障并让他们体面地退休。
哪个方案能给与肯定的答案,我们就推进哪个方案。
哪个方案的答案是否定的,我们就选择终止。
而掌管纳税人税金的人应当承担起责任,合理支出,摒弃陋习,磊落做事,这有这样才能在政府和人民之间重建至关重要的相互信任。
我们面临的问题也不是市场好坏的问题。
市场创造财富、拓展自由的能力无可匹敌,但是这场危机提醒我们,如果没有监管,市场很可能就会失去控制,而且偏袒富人国家的繁荣无法持久。
国家经济的成败不仅仅取决于国内生产总值的大小,而且取决于繁荣的覆盖面,取决于我们是否有能力让所有有意愿的人都有机会走向富裕。
我们这样做不是慈善,而是因为这是确保实现共同利益的途径。
就共同防御而言,我们认为国家安全与国家理想的只能选其一的排他选择是错的。
面对我们几乎无法想像的危险,我们的先辈们起草了确保法治和个人权利的宪章。
一代代人民的鲜血夯实了这一宪章。
宪章中的理想依然照亮着世界,我们不能以经验之谈放弃这些理想。
因此我想对正在观看这一仪式的其他国家的人民和政府说,不论他们现在各国伟大的首府还是在如同我父亲出生地一般的小村落,我想让他们知道:对于每个追求和平和自尊的国家和个人而言,美国都是朋友,我们愿意再次领导大家踏上追寻之旅。
回想先辈们在抵抗法西斯主义之时,他们不仅依靠手中的导弹或坦克,他们还依靠稳固的联盟和坚定的信仰。
他们深知单凭自己的力量我们无法保护自己,他们也深知我们强大并不足以使我们有权利为所欲为。
他们明白,正是因为使用谨慎,我们的实力才不断增强;正是因为我们的事业是公正的、我们为世界树立了榜样,因为我们的谦卑和节制,我们才安全。
我们继承了这些遗产。
在这些原则的再次领导下,我们有能力应对新的威胁,我们需要付出更多的努力、进行国家间更广泛的合作以及增进国家间的理解。
首先,我们将以负责任的态度,将伊拉克交还给伊拉克人民,同时巩固阿富汗来之不易的和平。
对于老朋友和老对手,我们将继续努力,不遗余力,削弱核威胁,遏制全球变暖的幽灵。
我们不会为我们的生活方式感到报歉,我们会不动摇地捍卫我们的生活方式。
对于那些企图通过恐怖主义或屠杀无辜平民达成目标的人,我们要对他们说:我们的信仰更加坚定,不可动摇,你们不可能拖垮我们,我们定将战胜你们。
因为我们知道,我们的多元化遗产是一个优势,而非劣势。
我们国家里有基督徒也有穆斯林,有犹太教徒也有印度教徒,同时也有非宗教信徒。
我们民族的成长受到许多语言和文化的影响,我们吸取了这个星球上任何一个角落的有益成分。
正是因为我们民族曾亲尝过内战和种族隔离的苦酒,并且在经历了这些黑色的篇章之后变得更加强大更加团结,因此我们不由自主,只能相信一切仇恨终有一天都会成为过去,种族的划分不久就会消失,而且随着世界变得越来越小,我们相信终有一天人类共有的人性品德将会自动显现。
在迎接新的和平时代到来的过程中,美国需要发挥自己的作用。
上一页 [1] [2] [3] 下一页 思索前方的路,我们无时无刻不在铭记那些远征沙漠和偏远山区的英勇美国战士,对他们充满了感激之情,他们和那些安息在阿灵顿国家公墓之下的战争英雄们一样,给与我们启示。
我们尊敬他们,不仅因为他们是自由的守护者,还因为他们代表的是为国家服务的精神,他们自愿追寻比自身的价值更伟大的意义(美国国家之伟大)。
此时此刻,在这个要塑造一代人的时刻,我们需要的正是这样一种精神。
因为无论美国政府能做多少,必须做多少,美国国家的立国之本最终还是美国人的决心和信念。
于防洪堤坝决堤之时收留陌生受难者的善意,于在经济不景气的时候宁愿减少自己工时也不肯看着朋友失业的无私,正是他们支撑我们走过黑暗的时刻。
消防队员冲入满是浓烟的楼梯抢救生命的勇气,父母养育孩子的坚持,正是这些决定了我们的命运。
我们面临的挑战也许是新的,我们应对挑战的措施也许也是新的,但那些长期以来指导我们成功的价值观——勤奋、诚实、勇气、公平竞争、包容以及对世界保持好奇心,还有对国家的忠诚和爱国主义——却是历久弥新,这些价值观是可靠的。
他们是创造美国历史的无声力量。
我们现在需要的就是回归这些古老的价值观。
我们需要一个新的负责任的时代,一个觉醒的时代,每个国人都应意识到即我们对自己、对国家和世界负有责任,我们不应该不情愿地接受这些责任,而应该快乐地承担起这些责任。
我们应该坚定这一认识,即没有什么比全身心投入一项艰巨的工作更能锻炼我们的性格,更能获得精神上的满足。
这是公民应尽的义务,应做出的承诺。
我们自信源于对上帝的信仰,上帝号召我们要掌握自己的命运。
这就是我们自由和信仰的意义,这也是为何不同种族、不同信仰、不同性别和年龄的人可以同聚一堂在此欢庆的原因,也是我今天能站在这里庄严宣誓的原因,而在50多年前我的父亲甚至都不能成为地方餐馆的服务生。
所以,让我们铭记自己的身份,镌刻自己的足迹。
在美国诞生的时代,那最寒冷的岁月里,一群勇敢的爱国人士围着篝火在冰封的河边取暖。
首都被占领,敌人在挺进,冬天的雪被鲜血染成了红色。
在美国大革命最受质疑的时刻,我们的国父们这样说: “我们要让未来的世界知道……在深冬的严寒里,唯有希望和勇气才能让我们存活……面对共同的危险时,我们的城市和国家要勇敢地上前去面对。
” 今天的美国也在严峻的寒冬中面对共同的挑战,让我们记住国父们不朽的语言。
带着希望和勇气,让我们再一次勇敢地面对寒流,迎接可能会发生的风暴。
我们要让我们的子孙后代记住,在面临挑战的时候,我们没有屈服,我们没有逃避也没有犹豫,我们脚踏实地、心怀信仰,秉承了宝贵的自由权利并将其安全地交到了下一代的手中。
