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
同学们,你们喜欢画画吗?告诉你,我就喜欢画画,而且我还学会了画画。
我们学校有个美术班,学画画的同学,都画得很好,我非常羡慕他们。我让妈妈给我给我买了画板,画笔。我来到了美术班,看见同学们都像仙人一样,什么都会画。当老师教我们画画的时候,我想:“这真是看花容易绣花难啊!”老师教我们怎样拿笔画,怎样勾线条,怎样临摹,怎样水彩画,怎样素描,真麻烦。我勾线条勾错,临摹画的也不像,水彩一会深一会浅,怎么也画不好,我实在不想画了。老师看出了我不想学了的心思,对我说:“杜月同学,做什么事情都不能半途而废,灰心丧气,要坚持。”我听了老师的话,又好好的画起来,当同学们休息的时候,我还在画。有一次,学校举行画画比赛,我得了一等奖,我去市里参加比赛,也得了一等奖。但我不能骄傲。
在我学习画画的过程中,我懂得了“世上无难事,只怕有心人”这个道理。
星期六,我看见妈妈正坐在桌子前包饺子,我连忙说:“妈妈,我也想学包饺子!”妈妈便同意了。
我拿了一个小凳子坐在桌子前学着妈妈的样子包起饺子。妈妈教我的步骤是:在饺子皮的中间放上一小勺馅,然后用水在饺子皮边缘擦了一圈(因为买的饺子皮有点硬,沾水是为了让饺子皮粘得更加紧,再小心地将饺子皮对折,从右边开始折一个皱褶捏,每次捏都要用力。最后,把包成了的饺子围成160度,立在蒸锅里,就完成了。
我按照妈妈教我的方法去做,在给饺子皮边缘擦水的时候,由于水有点多了,饺子皮一滑就在桌子上了,里面的馅全都掉出来了。“我不想包了。”我对妈妈说。可妈妈说:“如果你不包了,什么时候才能学会包饺子啊!”听了妈妈的话,我心里心想:如果我现在就放弃学的话,那什么时候才能学会啊?于是我便再次坐下来向妈妈细心地学习包饺子,从放馅到捏褶皱,妈妈一步一步耐心地教我。
经过妈妈教过好几遍后,我就开始自己独立包饺子。这一次,我成功地把一个饺子捏了出来,心里可兴奋了。就这样,我慢慢地学会了包饺子,一个个形状不一的饺子出现了:有的.像***了的妇女;有的像农场里的母猪;有的像没有吃饱的小孩,肚子扁扁的,原来是我放的馅太少了。看着一锅满满的饺子,我心里满是欢喜。
晚餐的时候,吃着自己包的饺子,格外的香。虽然有的馅多、有的馅少,但我有一种很骄傲的感觉。通过这次学包饺子让我明白了一个道理:不管事情有多难,只要肯努力和坚持,就一定可以成功!
小草在春风中展现那被野火烧过后的风限风姿,不禁使我不断低吟那句不朽“野火烧不尽,春风吹又生.”小草也这么坚强,而我不就连颗芝麻也不如?坚强,是我们最后的防线,永远不倒的防线……
人生的道路曲曲折折,大家不都常说:“阳光总在风雨后?”是大家都常说.而我在场中也遇到无数挫折,从中我学会了坚强.
以前我是个不爱动脑筋的傻瓜,遇到一点困难就熬不住,常常都“叫天天不应,叫地地不灵.”没耐性的我拿着空空的作业本去问家人,她们都异口同声地说:“有无搞错噶,上课有无听的,一个猪脑袋.”
由于以前我的阅读水平比较差,所以一见到阅读就不想动脑筋了又拿着白卷去问妈妈:“妈妈这个怎样做,那个怎样做.”妈妈皱了皱眉头说:“你这条懒虫,自己想下次再不会要罚.”听完妈妈的话,我立即拿着试卷叟的一声跑入房间.我想放弃,但我这个优生也不做作业,被老师批评了那多没面子啊.于是我思考了起来,突然间生现出现了一个黑影,是妈妈,妈妈说:“你啊,多动动脑筋,妈妈希望你也做个不倒翁.”听完妈妈的话我有拿起笔,仔细斟酌起那些阅读题.
第二天,试卷发下来全是“v”,我兴奋不已真想不到我这个“阅读蠢材”也能变成“阅读天才”,夜深了,我闭上眼睛但妈妈的话依然在我耳边回响着……
翌日清晨,我成为了一个坚强的人.成长让我坚强,让我重见到了那七彩的阳光.我坚信,这12年已然过去了,展现未来我相信,前方一片光明.
风雨过后,眼前会是海鸥鱼游的天水一色,走出荆拺,前面就是铺满鲜花的康庄大道.登上山顶,脚下便是积翠如云的空蒙山色.在这个世界上,一星损落黯淡不了星空的灿烂,一花凋残,荒芜不了整个春天.只要有坚强的意志,你必能迈向成功……
绘画是一门艺术。三年级时,我便与它结下了不解之缘。
三年级时,我转入了克市十八小学三一班。上第一堂美术课,而我们班的同学的画画技术都很精湛 ,特别是张子晨的话栩栩如生。我羡慕极了。从此,我暗下决心,一定要学会画画。
每周一节的美术课,我都仔仔细细地听,认认真真地画。几堂课下来,我一点进步都没有。一次偶然的机会,我去表姐家玩。提到我学画画的事,表姐说她的画技不错,可以教我,我欢喜的快要蹦起来了。每个周末 我还要到表姐家去学画画。第一次跟表姐学画画,我还真有点不自在,表姐先让我画自己最拿手的东西。我画了一只狗,可她费了好大的劲都没有看出来我画的是什么,丢脸呀!
表姐告诉我画画不能操之过急,要心平气和地去画。画画要掌握好笔,要克服心里困难,不能紧张。表姐让我先试一试,可我还是克服不了心理障碍,一握笔手就开始发抖。没办法,表姐只好握着我的手,一笔一划的教我画,现从最简单的画树起。就这样,我和表姐不知不觉中趴在桌子上,画了一个下午,累的我腰酸背疼。原来画画这么辛苦,练了一下午,我还是没有一丁点起色,我有些灰心了,甚至有些自卑,难道我真的很笨吗?
我自知没有画画天赋,所以更加努力的学画画。有点时间,我就和表姐学画画,常常画的忘了时间,天黑才回家,被老妈唠叨。渐渐的,我可以一个人画画了,我画的东西,姐姐也说我画的很好了。
我终于学会了画画,在学会画画的同时,我也明白了一个道理:天下无难事,只怕有心人。只要投入自己的全部精力,努力做事情,就一定会成功。
