For most Americans, the phrase ice cream brings out memories or summer. Ice cream is the oldest fashioned treat, and it has an ancient history.The emperors of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) are believed to have been the first to eat a frozen milk-like dessert , which was made with milk heated with flour. Later, camphor (樟脑）was added to improve the taste.In Medieval Titles Arabs enjoyed an icy drink called sherbet (冰冻果子露). This cold drink often went with fruits. Over time, the drink became popular with the European upper class. Italians are said to have learned this drink-making skill, with the French following soon after. The 17th century saw ice drinks made into frozen desserts. With sugar added, sorbet（雪酪）was created. Antonio Latini (1632-1692)is the first person to create a milk-based sorbet, which is considered as the first Official ice cream.It is impossible to say how exactly ice cream reached America, but it probably arrived with European settlers in the early 1700s. In 1790, the first ice cream store opened in New York. During the summer of the same year, our first president, George Washington, is said to have spent $200 to satisfy his thirst for the lovely treat.Ice cream has become one of the most popular desserts in America. Apple pie might be the most traditional American dessert, but what is served as its most popular close friend? Vanilla（香草）ice cream, of course! This creamy iced treat has strongly planted itself in the hearts of foodies across America.35 .

The company is celebrating 60 years since its first theme park, Disneyland, opened in California, US in 1955.Disney has opened many more parks all over the world since it made history in California, Shanghai Disneyland is expected to open in 2016, bringing Disneys popular parks here to the Chinese mainland for the first time.So why has Disneyland been so popular for 60 years? Well, its described as “the Happiest Place on Earth” and “a place for the young and_”. Many Americans have grown up with the parks, as exDisneyland president Paul Pressler said in 1995: “ There is an emotional relationship that people have with this park.”Disneyland was one of the first theme parks anywhere in the world that had “lands” and rides with themes. Disneys storytelling in rides like roller coasters is a big reason for their parks success. “We tell a story in everything we do,” Pressler said. Disney rides such as The seven Dwarves Mine Train and Peter Pans Flight come from its movies. One ride from its 2013 hit movie Frozen will surely be coming soon, perhaps at the new Shanghai Disneyland.Disneys parks havent always been popular everywhere, however. When Disneyland Paris opened in 1992, some French people felt that American culture was invading(入侵)France. But still, the park stayed open and today it is a popular place for European visitors.Whatever you may think of them, you cant say that on their 60 th birthday, Disneys parks arent still going strong.

She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car. She kept thanking me for my kindness.“Its nothing ，” I told her . “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mothertreated.”“Oh，youre such a good man.”She said.

Lets go now.”We drove in silence to the address she had given me.“How much do I owe you?” she asked.“ Nothing .” I said.“You have to make a living，”she answered.“Oh，there are other passengers，”I answered.Almost without thinking， I bent and gave her a hug(拥抱).
