Do you think that French fries are really French? French fries are called “pommes frites” in France and they are not from France. French fries come from Belgium(比利时)originally. French fries are made of potatoes, and they are cut and fried. The fried potatoes are called French fries because they were first seen by Americans in Belgium, but they were fried in the French way.

During World War I, there were a lot of hungry American soldiers(士兵) in Northern France and Belgium. They ate French fries in Belgium. After the war was over, the soldiers went back home to America. However, they missed French fries so much that they made French fries at home. That’s how French fries were first introduced to America.

French fries were called Belgian fries once, but the name was finally changed to French fries. Sometimes French fries are just called fries.

French fries are one of the most popular potato foods in America. American fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s and Burger King have French fries on their menus. French fries are freshly fried, and usually served with hamburgers.

If you visit any fast food restaurant in America and order a hamburger, you will probably hear “You want fries with that?” Why don’t you think about the history of French fries a little while, and say “Yes, please. Thank you.”

1.What are French fries made of?

French fries are made of ________.

2.Where do French fries come from originally?

They come from __________.

3.Why are the fried potatoes called French fries?

Because they were in Belgium.

4.Who first introduced French fries to America?

___________ first introduced French fries to America.

5.What does the underlined "that" in the last paragraph refer to(指的是)?

What is DIY? Why do many people like it? Yang Chen works for a computer business in Beijing. He enjoys his work, but it is not easy for him to relax after work. One day when he saw many toy dogs in a toy shop, he had an idea. “Why not make them myself?” Then he began to make model planes, model ships and something else. He has great interest in it because it brings him lots of fun and makes life colourful. So what is DIY? Yes, it is making or creating (创造) things on your own, with your own hands.

It may take much time, but some people, now known as DIYers—do-it-yourselfers, enjoy doing it very much. They enjoy it because it is fun. And they also say it helps them save money, too.

If you wanted something, you had to do it yourself, and if you needed something, you made it yourself.
