THE HISTORY OF ICE CREAM
The first frozen dessert is credited to Emperor Nero of Rome. It was a mixture of snow (which he sent his slaves into the mountains to retrieve) and nectar, fruit pulp and honey. Another theory is Marco Polo, 13th century bard and adventurer, brought with him to Europe from the Far East recipes for water ices, said to be used in Asia for thousands of years.
In 1700 Governor Bladen of Maryland served ice cream to his guests.
The first ice cream parlor in America, opened in New York City in 1776.
Dolly Madison created a sensation when she served ice cream as a dessert in the White House at the second inaugural ball in 1812.
Italo Marchiony sold his homemade ice cream from a pushcart on Wall Street. He reduced his overhead caused by customers breaking or wandering off with his serving glasses by baking edible waffle cups with sloping sides and a flat bottom. He patented his idea in 1903.
Others link the ice cream cone’s invention to the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis. An ice ream vendor there reportedly didn’t have enough dishes to keep up with demand, so he teamed up with a waffle vendor who rolled his product into “cornucopias”.
Invention of the ice cream soda is usually attributed to Robert M. Green, who operated a soda water concession in Philadelphia. Green, who sold a mix of carbonated water, cream, and syrup, apparently ran out of cream and substituted ice cream, hoping his customers wouldn’t notice. But they did and daily sales receipts climbed from $6 to $600.
During the stuffy Victorian period, drinking soda water was considered improper, so some towns banned its sale on Sundays. An enterprising druggist in Evanston, IN, reportedly concocted a legal Sunday alternative containing ice cream and syrup, but no soda. To show respect for the Sabbath, he later changed the spelling to “sundae”.
In 1843, New England housewife Nancy Johnson invented the hand- cranked ice cream churn. She patented her invention but lacked the resources to make and market the churn herself. Mrs. Johnson sold the patent for $200 to a Philadelphia kitchen wholesaler who, by 1847, made enough freezers to satisfy the high demand. From 1847 to 1877, more than 70 improvements to ice cream churns were patented.
The first commercial ice cream plant was established in Baltimore in 1851 by Jacob Fussell.
In 1983, Cookies ‘N Cream, made with real Oreo cookies, became an instant hit, climbing to number five on the list of best-selling ice cream flavors. It also holds the distinction of being the fastest growing new flavor in the history of the ice cream industry.
In 1991, another flavor phenomenon was created — Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream, which combines the best part of the Chocolate Chip cookie — the raw dough — with creamy vanilla ice cream and semi-sweet chocolate chips.

WHAT IF YOUR DREAM JOB WAS TO GIVE OTHER PEOPLE NIGHTMARES?
That’s the fun and frightful profession that makes Josiah George of Boston wake up each day looking forward to nightfall with a touch of sinister glee, especially during the Halloween season. George is one of a troupe of talented, costumed performers that take tourists on a unique excursion of Boston locales and dark streets. They are guides on Boston’s Ghosts and Gravestones tour, which unveils some of the city’s Colonial secrets with a delightfully eerie witch’s brew of scary fun and macabre history, mixed with a dash of dark humor.
Josiah — who goes by the stage name in character of Lucious Branch, a gravedigger from Colonial times — shared his thoughts on what makes his job a fun-filled scream each night.
Q: How did you become involved in this unique job?
A: I answered a posting for a cold audition in 2005 and did a reading of Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘Tell Tale Heart.’ The performance manager at the time was a Poe fan, and it was a no-brainer for him to hire me. Since then, for me and my co-workers, this is more than just a job. As a theatrical performer, you learn there aren’t too many jobs where the group becomes a cohesive, continuing troupe that stays together year after year. It’s great to come back to the same group of people each season.
Q: How does this company of performers work to put on several performances each night over a season?
A: We have 14 actors and a manager. Once we pass the audition, we’re given a script with all the basic historic material, which is told in a narrative sense. What’s great about this gig is that you’re able to develop your own unique character from the original script. I tell the macabre stories from my character’s perspective.
Q: What do you enjoy most about this job of frightening folks?
A: One of the best parts of my job is being a true storyteller. I get to pass these old stories about Boston’s past from generation to generation. It’s almost like telling scary stories around a campfire and creating a scary, macabre mood for the listeners. What’s particularly enjoyable for me are the people I get to work with and the people who enjoy the tour.
Q: What’s the greatest challenge you face?
A: I think it’s painting the right atmosphere for each group amid sometimes difficult distractions. The tour is conducted, in part, inside a moving vehicle, with street noises and people hollering and more. The guide needs to work off the reactions of the audience. Some of the reactions are, well, to die for.
We’ve dealt with all kinds of unexpected distractions, from people fainting on the tour for any number of reasons; but they’re always happy and have fun. Once, we had a group of drag queens spontaneously join in our tour as we were walking. I suspect some of the paying customers weren’t sure if they were part of the show. But, that’s the unexpected fun of this tour. There’s always surprise.
As much as Josiah loves his moonlighting job as a theatrical gravedigger, he hasn’t given up on his daytime job and equally enjoyable passion. By night, he may be bringing thrills and chills to Boston’s tourists; however, by day Jo- siah is the Equity stage manager for the Stoneham Theater outside of Boston.
True or false
Josiah George is a professional actor.
People take this tour because they love being frightened.
Josiah George has this job during the year.
Josiah George was admitted to the troupe after audition.
Josiah George performs his parts strictly according to scripts.
Only the narrator creates the right atmosphere.

SCHOOL LIFE IN GREAT BRITAIN: PERSONAL EXPERIENCE My Personal Experience About School Life in Britain
(1)
At present I am studying History, English Literature, Sociology and General Studies at A level. I enjoy all my A levels but find Sociology particularly interesting and challenging. This is because I enjoy reading and writing essays as well as debating issues. My History course involves two European topics: Nazi Germany and Mussolini and Fascist Italy. I find these topics give a very interesting insight into modern history. I am also looking forward to working on my personal study in History; I hope to base it on an aspect of Nazi Germany. In English Literature I have been studying Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, Tess of the d’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy and Paradise Lost by John Milton. I have found all three texts interesting so far.
I have found that the style of study at A level is very different to my GCSE courses, and the more in-depth detail and discussions make A levels much more enjoyable. The skill of critical analysis developed in my A level subjects has been very useful in writing essays and studying sources. I have learnt how to carry out research using primary sources and how to construct an argument based on evidence.
)
Because of my love of History I hope to do a History degree at University. My other subjects have allowed me to develop a structured and discursive style of writing which I find extremely useful in my History studies. I also depend on the personal skills learnt to work on my own, only seeking the teacher’s guidance and direction occasionally.
)
At the end of year ten I spend one week’s work experience at the school of History at Birmingham University. It was a most interesting, educational and enjoyable week. I did filing, word processing and general administrative work. I particularly enjoyed sending and receiving e-mail. During the week, I discovered that I enjoyed working with people and got a great deal of satisfaction in meeting deadlines and working under pressure. I got on with other extremely well and made good friends with the people I worked with.
)
As well as my Sixth Form studies, I play an active part in organizing events to raise money for charity. The most recent was a Talent Contest. I play an active part in college life, and regularly perform in concerts and revues.
)
As a hobby, I enjoy both playing and listening to music. I have studied the clarinet but at present I play bass guitar. I have been in a band with friends for about eighteen mouths now, and we have played a number of gigs at the ‘Songwriter’s cafe’, a free venue for the public every Sunday. I am also an avid CD and vinyl collector, preferring all types of sixties’ and seventies’ music. I also enjoy reading music biographies on past bands and books on subcultures of the sixties. I enjoy going out and spending time with friends. I also enjoy traveling. My previous trips have been to Ireland, the United States, Turkey and all over Europe. Through this, I have learnt about other cultures and ways of life — something which interests me greatly.
I enjoy sport a lot and love to watch football and cricket and regularly go swimming to keep fit. I enjoy Sixth Form life very much and consider myself
well-suited to the way of learning at Sixth Form level. I very much hope to go to university and enjoy university life as much as I have enjoyed my A levels.
A It’s so exciting to face new things and new people.
B Only A level will lead to success.
C Everything is getting better.
D My previous experience let me be independent in studying.
E Dreams come true! And now I’m just enjoying my studying.
F My spare time involves many interesting things as any minute shouldn’t be wasted I believe.
G Not only studying is in my life. Key: 1 E; 2 C; 3 D; 4 A; 5 G; 6 F.

THE HISTORY OF CHINESE CUISINE In China, food and its preparation has been developed so highly that it has reached the status of an art form. Rich and poor, the Chinese people consider
(1) There is an old Chinese saying “Food is the first necessity of the people”.
This art has been cultivated and refined over hundreds of years. Legend has it that the culture of Chinese cuisine originated in the 15th century BC during the Shang dynasty and was originally introduced by Yi Yin, it’s first Prime Minister.
The two dominant philosophies of Chinese culture both had extreme influences on the political and economic history of the country but it is less
well known (2) .
Confucius emphasized the artistic and social aspects of cookery and eating. The Chinese don’t gather together without involving food — it is
considered to be poor etiquette (3) .
Confucius established standards of cooking and table etiquette, most of which remain to this day. The most obvious example of this is the cutting of bite-sized pieces of meat and vegetables during the course of the food preparation in the kitchen, rather than using a knife at the table which is not considered to be good manners.
Confucius also encouraged the blending of ingredients and flavourings
tasting the individual components. Harmony was his priority. He
believed and taught that without harmony of ingredients there could be no taste. He also emphasized the importance of presentation and the use of colour, texture and decoration of a dish. Most importantly, (5) a task to be
endured and certainly he was instrumental in promulgating the philosophy of “live to eat” rather than “eat to live”.
On the other hand, Tao encouraged research into the nourishment aspects of food and cookery. Rather than concentrating on taste and appearance, Taoists were more interested in the life-giving properties of food.
Centuries on, the Chinese have discovered the health-giving properties of all sorts of roots, herbs, fungus and plants. They have taught the world
(6) and in addition have found that things with a great flavour also have
medicinal value.
Home cooked Chinese food is extremely healthy, even though much of it is fried. This is due to the use of polyunsaturated oils (used only once and discarded) and the exclusion of dairy products. In addition the inclusion of animal fat is minimal because portions of meat are small.
