Here are three things you probably dont know about pizza. 1:1: PizzasPizzas OriginsOrigins AreAre Half-Baked.Half-Baked. The Neapolitans in Italy are proud of saying they invented pizza, but its probably more accurate to say they perfected it. The idea of putting toppings on a flatbread and baking it started in the 6th century B. C. But the people of Naples were the first to put the tomato on a flatbread in the 16th century. From its start, pizza was the food for the poor, as it was cheap, filling and easy to eat on the run. In Italian, the word “pizza” refers to anything that is made and then pressed flat. 2:2: PizzaPizza MargheritaMargherita IsIs NotNot ExactlyExactly a a SymbolSymbol ofof Italy.Italy. It is said that one day in 1889, a local baker named Raffaele Esposito created three pizzas for Queen Margherita when she was on a tour of Italy. The queen loved the version that had the tomato, basil and mozzarella cheese, and it just happened to match the colors of the Italian flag. So Esposito named the pizza after her. But Scott Wiener points out that Italy was unified in name only in 1889 so it was unlikely any Neapolitan baker would want to celebrate the “Northern conqueror”. Further, the letter of gratitude for the pizza from the royal household that Pizzeria Brandi displays appears to be a fake and may just have been a marketing strategy. 3:3: HawaiianHawaiian PizzaPizza InventedInvented byby a a Canadian.Canadian. Sam Panopoulos, from Greece, originally moved to Canada at the age of 20. In 1962, he decided to put some ham and pineapple on a pizza at one of his restaurants in Ontario. “We just did it for fun to see how it was going to taste,” he told the BBC in 2017. - 2 - Panopoulos named it the Hawaiian pizza after the brand of the canned pineapple he used. The mixture of sweet and savory toppings became popular with a certain part of the pizza-loving public. The inventor died in 2017. 21. Who was pizza first made for? A. People who were very busy. B. People who were running away. C. The poor people who could afford it. D. Soldiers. 22. What is Pizzeria Brandis purpose of displaying the letter? A. To show honor for Queen Margherita. B. To hatch a marketing plot. C. To prove the pizzas relation with the royal family. D. To tell the world Pizza Margherita is exactly a symbol of Italy. 23. The name of the Hawaiian pizza came from . A. another brand of foodB. a Canadian restaurant C. the founders own interestD. its unique Hawaiian flavor B B My daughter Kelly is a cautious person. She needs to warm up to situations, and is hesitant to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants, “Girls rule, boys drool.” But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous. This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this bas been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids triathlon (三项全能). On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coming soon and my sons birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she'd need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together. And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My - 3 - daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face. I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasnt because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn't seen before. All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine. Shine on, sweet baby. 24. Kelly is nervous when . A. boys are around herB. she changes into a leader C. she is away from her momD. situations are new to her 25. We can know from Paragraph 3 . A. the race began in the early morningB. the wh
