It is one of the most favorite kinds of food in the world, and many would say that they cannot live without it. However, there are many facts about the world of chocolate that most people do not know.‎ Have you ever wondered where your chocolate comes from? Most of it comes from the labor of children. It is said that in Africa alone, there are about 70 million children working on chocolate farms. They lead a very hard life, and many live only on bananas and corn paste（浆糊）. One child who was interviewed said that he was tricked into believing he would be earning money to help his family. But the truth is that he is treated like an animal. The child has never even had the chance to taste the chocolate he spends his life producing.‎ The history of chocolate pretty much begins with the Mayans（玛雅人）. Cacao（可可）beans were so valuable to Mayans that they were used as money. It is said that ten beans could buy a rabbit, and one hundred beans were enough to buy a slave. People would buy everything from food to tools with the beans. Generally, only the richer people drank chocolate regularly, because drinking your money is expensive.‎ 1.

In a normal year there are 800 to 1,000 tornadoes. Most happen in the middle part of the country. Tornadoes form when warm and cool air meet. In the Midwest, the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico often meets the cold air from Canada.‎ ‎      The usual tornado season is March through May. Tornadoes form most often in the afternoon and early evening. There is often no warning of a tornado. People who live in the Midwest know the signs (征兆) of tornado activity. The sky becomes dark, often a greenish color. Dark clouds appear in the ‎ sky and there is often large hail (冰雹). Suddenly, there is a loud sound, like a train or a jet plane. Sometimes, two, three, five, ten or more tornadoes can form over a large area.‎ This type of tornado activity hit Oklahoma and Kansas in May 1999. The day was stormy, with heavy thunderstorms in the afternoon. As the storms continued, tornadoes began to form. Dozens of tornadoes hit towns and neighborhoods in Oklahoma, then in Kansas. Some stayed on the ground for several hours, destroying everything they touched. The tornadoes killed 43 people and injured 600 others. They destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. In some areas, not one home stood. In other areas, the tornadoes destroyed every home on the left side of the street, but didnˈt touch any homes on the right side. The tornadoes lifted people and cars into the air and then threw them back down to earth. So it is important to know where to hide and how to protect yourself in the face of a tornado.‎ 1.

Teachers teach us from morning till evening every day, which is very difficult. It is because of teachers' hard work that we students can know a lot about different fields. Nevertheless, some of the students don't study hard, which makes teachers unhappy.17 ‎ ‎     What's more, some students don't listen carefully in class. Instead, they sometimes talk, make faces, look outside or do some other things not related to their study. They do not work hard, and often make teachers angry. Can teachers smile in these cases?
