冰淇淋是生活中不可缺少的一道美食。夏天没胃口时,尝些冰淇淋,是一个迅速补充体力降低体温的好方法。尤其对小朋友来说更是挡不住的诱惑,聪明的妈妈能在小朋友不愿吃饭时,偶尔改变方式以冰淇淋取代主食,同样能摄取营养和热量,漂亮的颜色又让人产生食欲。
你知道吗?美国每年能销售10亿加仑的冰淇淋,8%的牛奶最终变成冷冻食品。如今,各种各样的冰淇淋店更是遍布世界。现在就让我们一起看看冰淇淋的历史吧。
The earliest reports of people enjoying flavored ice desserts come from the Romans and the Chinese. Marco Polo returned from his famous expedition with fruit-flavored ices, reporting that Asians had been making them for thousands of years. These delicacies became popular in France in the 1500s, but only among royalty. Over the next few centuries, the process of making them evolved from hauling mountain ice to salt/ice freezing methods. Cream was introduced as an ingredient, and by the 1700s, people were enjoying a dessert that was very similar to today's ice cream.
The hand-cranked ice cream freezer was first developed by Nancy Johnson in 1846. Ice was readily available from large warehouses in that era, so ice cream became a treat that could be enjoyed by almost anyone, not just the rich. Ice cream making was revolutionized again in 1851, when Jacob Fussel started the first wholesale ice cream manufacturing operation in Baltimore, Maryland. Fussel's dairy business had excess cream and he couldn't figure out what to do with it. He tried using it to make ice cream, and before long his ice cream business outsold the rest of the dairy.
The business slowly evolved for the next few decades. Manufacturing methods and ingredients improved, while refrigeration technology became cheaper and more efficient. By the 1920s, home refrigerators and freezers became more common, which gave the ice cream industry another boost. Sugar was rationed in the US during World War I, but the ice cream industry convinced the government that ice cream was an "essential food”. Ice cream factories were allotted sugar rations and production continued.
Ice cream increased in popularity until the Depression years caused a drop in sales for virtually all non-essential goods. Sales increased in the years leading up to World War II before leveling off in the post-war years. The rise of the giant supermarket created demand for cheaper, mass-produced ice cream, but quality suffered. The 1960s saw a resurgence in "premium"ice cream, while the following decades saw the market fragment into low-fat varieties for the health-conscious, including frozen yogurt, fruit bars, ice milk, fat-free ice cream, and dozens of other varieties. However, ice cream still makes up about 60 percent of the market share among frozen desserts. While ice cream is enjoyed worldwide, it has become an American tradition
无论是海棠般的红色,还是晚霞般的粉色,雪花般的.白色,都是那么娇艳,它无论身在何方,总会增添一份美丽的花影……
那是个花意正浓的日子,我跑到荷花池边静观。
放眼望去,一片花的海洋,挨挨挤挤色彩纷呈,恍若仙境。一朵朵荷花露出自己娇艳的花瓣,在阳光的照耀下左右摇摆,一个个向我点头示意。粉色的花瓣在蓝天白云的衬托下显得异常美丽。微风吹过,像母亲的手在抚摸它的脸颊。在风中,荷花摇摆着纤细的身姿,好似一位亭亭玉立的少女,随风跳着婀娜多姿的舞蹈,让多少人驻足痴望。有的荷花才露出一两瓣儿,含苞欲放,娇滴滴的,正如一位害羞的小姑娘,那么稚嫩,那么可爱……
不知从哪飘来一阵雾,不一会,便下起了蒙蒙细雨。雾里看花,雨中赏花更是别有一番滋味。一位位白衣仙子,在雨中吸收着甜美的甘露。我仿佛自己也是其中的一员,随风跳着舞蹈,陶醉于此中……
雨过天晴,我这才醒过来,抬头一看,天边出现了一道绚丽的彩虹在荷花池上照耀着荷花,形成一幅美丽的图画。
我爱你,荷花,这个大自然的舞蹈演员。你的美丽让我陶醉,更爱你那“出淤泥而不染”的高风亮节!
其实荷花不止在小池中,它也在生活里……
人生中的那一道绽放着光彩的墙。
在人的一生中,多多少少都会遇到一些刺手的荆棘,我们没有办法避免。它会成为失败君的老大,任由它摆布,甚至颓废终生。但它也会成为成功君的手下,被摆布,因为这些荆棘对于那些成功君来说可能会有点阻碍,但比起他们的理想却是微不足道的。
它是前进之墙。“竹杖芒鞋轻胜马,谁怕?一蓑烟雨任平生。”他就是那位流传千古的、伟大的、著名的'中国北宋文学家和书画家——苏轼。他因乌台诗案获罪入狱而被贬黄州。可能你会认为他会就此而一蹶不振,不,他并没有因此颓废,而是把这件事看成他作诗的新源泉,重头开始,乐观积极地在黄州生活,从而写下了许多闻名于世的诗篇。
毕竟生活中有苦也有甜,快乐也是一天,悲伤也是一天,何不把悲伤放下,而把快乐留下呢?乐观地面对各种困难,你会发现许多快乐的奥妙。
它是毅力之墙。“天才是百分之一的灵感,百分之九十九的血汗。”他就是创造光明的伟大发明家——爱迪生。他在发明电灯的过程中经历了很多次失败,但他都没有放弃,而是靠着“向着成功进军”的理念走上这条路。有了这份毅力,就没有不成功的事。
它是惜时之墙。在成功之前,不能有二心,不然就会成为一个半途而废的人。我国的著名作家鲁迅就是靠珍惜时间、永不言败、努力创作来完成他的梦想。他一生写了许多的励志文章,为中国的改革发展奠定了一定的基础。
那一道墙是美丽的、励志的,也是我们走向成功之路不可避免的。既然不可避免,那么我们就得去迎接它,挑战它,战胜它。
