爆米花
不是所有的玉米都能爆開。只有當(dāng)一粒玉米種子里含有14%的水分時才能爆開。少于14%水分的玉米不能爆開。當(dāng)你加熱一粒玉米種子時，種子里的水分使玉米爆開，這時會發(fā)出“砰砰”的聲音，所以我們把它稱為爆米花。
很久以前美洲印第安人就開始爆爆米花。他們知道一共有三種玉米，分別是可以食用的甜玉米、給動物吃的玉米和爆爆米花的玉米。當(dāng)?shù)谝慌ň诱?，也就是清教徒?620年來到美洲后，印第安人把玉米介紹給了他們。一年后，新移民舉行了第一次感恩節(jié)，他們邀請了印第安人，印第安人帶來了食物，其中有一個印第安人帶來了爆米花！
從那以后，美國人一直在家里爆爆米花。1945年，一種新的機(jī)器改變了爆米花的歷史。這種電動機(jī)器可以在家庭以外的地方爆爆米花。很快電影院里
Lesson29 Popcorn
All corn does not pop． A seed of corn must have 14% water in it to pop． Other kinds of corn have less water and do not pop． When you heat a seed of corn， the water inside makes the corn explode． This makes a “pop” noise． That is why we call it popcorn．
The American Indians popped corn a long time ago． The Indians knew there were three kinds of corn． There was sweet corn for eating， corn for animals， and corn for popping． The Indians introduced corn to the first settlers， or Pilgrims， when they came to America in 1620． One year after they came， the Pilgrims had a Thanksgiving dinner． They invited the Indians． The Indians brought food with them． One Indian brought popcorn!
Since that time Americans continued to pop corn at home． In 1945 there was a new machine that changed the history of popcorn． This electric machine popped corn outside the home． Soon movie theatres started to sell popcorn to make more money． Popcorn at the movies became more and more popular．Today，Americans still continue the custom of eating popcorn at the movies．
