tongue. unfortunately for the us soldiers of world war ii, the chocolate bars the army gave them tasted like they were intended for use in the bath.in the armys defense, it wasnt trying to win any cooking awards. in fact, it specifically ordered that its chocolate bars not be too delicious, so soldiers wouldnt eat them too quickly. these bars were created for survival, not taste. “they were awful,” john otto, a former army captain in world war ii said. “they were big, thick things, and they werent any good. i tried em, but i had to be awful hungry after i tried them once.” as unappealing as the chocolate bars were to some, others liked them. samuel hinkle, the chemist who created the chocolate bars, pointed out that the number of bars made were far greater than the army needed. “it soon became obvious that the generous american soldiers were sharing their valued possessions with their foreign friends, whether soldiers of other countries or local citizens.”the bars turned many hungry europeans into friends of the united states. “people wanted them,” said otto. “youd give them to kids. in some places they were very hungry. and they sure helped relax people about american soldiers.” otto said he never saw a european turn his or her nose up at the chocolate. “it was food,” he said. “at that time, everyone was very hungry. i saw german kids standing outside the u.s. army kitchen. they werent begging, just standing there very politely. when we were done, the kids would eat the food out of the garbage. they were that hungry.”other europeans did not see chocolate until well after the war ended. “we didnt see any americans where i was,” said elizabeth radsma, who was 25 years old when the germans occupied her country, the netherlands. “even after the war, we saw only english. maybe the americans gave out some chocolate in the big cities, but we were only in a small town. before the british, we saw only german soldiers. but chocolate? dont make me laugh! maybe in my dreams!”a soldier in the field might have responded “be careful what you wish for” and then gratefully bit down on a chocolate bar, the only food available for miles.1. what was the american

according to the passage? a. the us soldiers used the chocolate bars as bath soap. b. the us soldiers did not have enough food during world war ii. c. the us army produced more chocolate bars than necessary for its soldiers. d. european people regretted eating chocolate bars from the us soldiers.3. the underlined expression “turn his or her nose up at” probably means _. a. reject b. demandc. received. smell4. why does the author mention the german kids story? a. to tell how friendly the american soldiers were. b. to describe the hunger in post-war germany. c. to prove german kids could be very polite. d. to show how much they were eager for chocolates.5. elizabeth radsma never saw chocolate during the war because _. a. the us soldiers handed out all of them to people in big cities b.
