The first chocolate was eaten by people in South America hundreds of years ago. 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, 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.

Look at the diagram(图表)below. It shows a cross-section (横切面)of a mountain and the land on each side of it. The sea is on the west side of the mountain.
In January, February and March, warm wet winds blow strongly across the sea towards the mountain, The winds pick up moisture(湿气) as they blow across the sea. When clouds reach the mountain ,they rise and become cooler. The higher they have to go ,the cooler they become. The moisture in the clouds turns to rain. As a result, the clouds drop rain on the west side of the mountain, which sometimes has problems with flooding . Some of the clouds pass over the mountain but there is little rain in them.

Could your best friend make you fat?
Researchers who have studied“networks”of obesity(肥胖) think so：they found that if someone's friend becomes obese, that person's chances of becoming obese increase by more than half.
Brothers or sisters and a husband or a wife also have an influence, although reduced_people whose brothers or sisters became obese were 40 percent more likely to grow obese, while people whose husband or wife became obese were 37 percent more likely to.
“This is the first study to show how obesity spreads through the social network from person to person，”James Fowler of the University of California, San Diego, who worked on the study, told in a telephone interviewing.
The researchers said their findings show that obesity is contagious—not like a virus which is contagious, but in a social sense.
It may help explain why obesity is worsening across the United States, with two thirds of Americans over weight and almost a third technically obese.
“It has become very popular to speak of the obesity epidemic.We began to wonder if it is truly an epidemic，”Dr.Nicholas Christakis, a professor of medical sociology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, told the briefing.
“We think that these findings reinforce(加强) the idea that obesity is not just an individual problem but a collective problem，”Christakis said.
“People look around them and see people gaining weight and it might change their attitude about what constitutes an acceptable body size，”he added.“You might say it's OK to be heavier.”
1．The underlined phrase“reduced people”refers to______.
A．the influence of people is smaller and smaller
B．fat persons are having less and less friends
C．the number of fat persons is decreasing largely

A．They may influence you how to choose a lover.
B．They may assist you in forming a life value.
C．They may change your attitudes towards obesity.
D．They may help you understand what obesity is.
