Pizza is a pretty universal treat, but where did it start? Here are three things you probably didn’t

know about pizza.

1: Pizza’s Origins Are Half-Baked.

The Neapolitans（那不勒斯人）in Italy are proud of saying they invented pizza, but it’s

probably more accurate to say, they perfected it. The idea of putting toppings on a flatbread and

baking it started in the 6th century B. C. But the people of Naples were the first to put tomato on a

flatbread in the 16th century. From its start, pizza was a food of the poor, as it was cheap, filling and

easy to eat on the run. In Italian, the word “pizza” refers to anything that is made and then pressed

flat.

2: Pizza Margherita Is Not Exactly a Symbol of Italy.

It was said some day in 1889, a local baker named Raffaele Esposito created three pizzas for

Queen Margherita when she was on a tour of Italy. The queen loved the version that had tomato,

basil and mozzarella cheese--- and just happened to match the colors of the Italian flag. So Esposito named the pizza after her.

But Pizza historian Scott Wiener points out that Italy was unified in name only in 1889 so it

was unlikely any Neapolitan baker would want to celebrate “the Northern conquerors.” Further, the

letter of gratitude for the pizza from the royal household that Pizzeria Brandi displays appears to be

a fake（赝品）and may just have been a marketing plan.

3: Hawaliian Pizza Invented by a Canadian.

Sam Panopoulos, from Greece originally moved to Canada at the age of 20. In 1962, he

decided to put some ham and pineapple on a pizza at one of his restaurants in Ontario.

“We just put it on for fun to see how it was going to taste,” he told the BBC in 2017.

Panopoulos named it the Hawaiian pizza after the brand of canned pineapple he used. The mix of

sweet and savory toppings caught on with a certain part of the pizza-loving public. The inventor

died in 2017.

1. Who was pizza first made for?

A. The people of Naples.

B. The poor Neapolitan people.

C. The rich Italian people.

D. Queen Margherita specially.

2. What can we learn about Pizza Margherita?

A. It was intended to match the colors of the Italian flag.

B. It was made to celebrate "the Northern conquerors."

C. It was made to cater for Queen Margherta.

D. It was displayed in the royal house.

3. How did the name of Hawaiian Pizza come?

A. It was named after a brand of canned pineapple.

B. It was named after a restaurant in Ontario.

C. It came from a local Hawaiian cook.

D. It came from the pizza-loving public.

【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了三个关于披萨的常识。 【1题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段中的“From its start, pizza was a food of the poor, as it was cheap, filling

细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The queen loved the version that had tomato, basil and mozzarella

cheese …So Esposito named the pizza after her. ”可知，玛格丽特披萨是烘焙师在玛格丽特女王意大利旅行时为她准备的，并以她的名字命名，故C项正确。

In 2012 my wife and I decided to open our bookstore in spite of unfavorable situations. The

challenges facing small bookstores were-and remain-significant. Apart from the obvious rise in

online selling, the increase in the popularity of e-books has negatively affected independent

providers.

The question is why a new, small-scale（小规模的）provide would voluntarily enter such a

challenging market? From a personal view, our reasoning was sound: we wanted to share our love of

great books and reading for pleasure with as many like-minded people as possible.

Having done our homework, one thing became clear. In order for us to succeed, we would have

to offer something that none of our larger competitors already provided. And so we started the

Willoughby Book Club. We set up our website in the summer of 2012, and we haven’t looked back.

The idea of service is simple. We offer a range of book subscription gift packages, available in

three-month, six-month and 12-month options. Our customers choose a package, tell us a little about

the person they’re buying it for, and we use this information to send the receiver a hand-picked,

gift-wrapped book once a month. We also recently decided to give one new book to Book Aid

International for every gift subscription sold. These books are sent out to sub-Saharan Africa,
