11、eat, but where did it start? Here are three things you probably dont know about pizza.1: Pizzas Origins Are Half-Baked.The Neapolitans in Italy are proud of saying they invented pizza, but its probably more accurate to say they perfected it. The idea of putting toppings on a flatbread and baking it
12、started in the 6th century B.C. But the people of Naples were the first to put the tomato on a flatbread in the 16th century. From its start, pizza was the food for 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 pr
13、essed flat. 2: Pizza Margherita Is Not Exactly a Symbol of Italy.It is said that one 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 the tomato, basil and mozzarella cheese, and it just
14、 happened to match the colors of the Italian flag. So Esposito named the pizza after her.But 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 conqueror” Further, the letter of gratitude for the pizza fro
15、m the royal household that Pizzeria Brandi displays appears to be a fake and may just have been a marketing strategy.3: Hawaiian 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
16、of his restaurants in Ontario.“We just did it 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 the canned pineapple he used. The mixture of sweet and savory toppings became popular with a certain part of the pizza-loving pu

The name of the Hawaiian pizza came from .A. another brand of food B. a Canadian restaurantC. the founders own interest D. its unique Hawaiian flavorBIf Albuquerque Po
19、lice Officer Ryan Holets had his way, this story would never have got so much attention. CNN would not have learned that Holets, while on duty, had agreed to adopt a baby from a homeless drug addict.Holets values his privacy（隐私）and didnt do it for the attention. He did it just because he knew it was
20、 the right thing to do.On Sept. 23, Holets responded to a call about a possible theft from a convenience store in Albuquerque. By the time he arrived, the thief was no longer there, but Holets spotted a woman in a grassy area behind the store about to inject a needle into her companions arm. The wom
21、an, Crystal Champ, was eight months pregnant.After a short conversation, he learned Champ longed for her child to go to a good family. Holets offered to do just that.When Sergeant Jim Edison learned what Holets did, he was floored. In his 10 years as a police officer, he has seen many “heroic acts”
22、but none like what Holets did, Edison said.Edison awarded Holets for his outstanding service for the city, but felt that wasnt enough. Its his job to reward his officers and encourage them to do the right thing, so Edison signed Holets up to do an interview for CNNs “Beyond the Call of Duty” series
23、without telling him.“Every day Edison calls me to ask for forgiveness,” Holets said laughing. “And I keep assuring him that were fine. We didnt quite realize it would get this response, and neither did he. But we all realize its a really good thing, and some really good things can come of it.”One of
24、 Holetss conditions when he agreed to CNNs interview was that his superiors would not set up a GoFundMe page for his family. “We dont want anybody to say weve used this occasion to enrich ourselves,” Holets said. He instead urges those who want to offer support to donate to a local drug recovery cen

27、s like his.B. Support the polices routine work.C. Make donations to adoption organizations.D. Set up an organization to help the homeless.CIndonesia is home to four of the worlds worst polluted rivers and ranks second when it comes to plastic waste. Since single-use packaging is a large contributor
28、to the problem, Evoware, an Indonesian-based company decided to handle that issue first. And now a kind of edible（可食用的） packets has been invented.After investigating various material options, the company settled on seaweed. Unlike com, commonly used for containers, seaweed does not require resources
29、 like water, or large amounts of space. According to Evoware, as much as 40 tons of seaweed can be grown in an area the size of a baseball field. It also helps absorb harmful greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. Since Indonesian farmers already harvest more seaweed than they can sell, it is easy fo
30、r the company to find the material.Though they will not make public their production process, Evoware announces the seaweed packaging contains no chemicals and is safe to consume. In addition to wrapping fast food items, it can also be used to house things like instant noodle seasoning（调味品）and insta
31、nt coffee.Though the edible wrappers may not have any taste, the same cannot be said about the single-use cups that the company has also invented. The single-use cups that can be used to serve cold drinks are available with the taste of orange and green tea.While replacing plastic with the seaweed p
32、roducts may seem like a no-brainer to most of us, it is a hard-sell in Indonesia. According to Christian, “The awareness, understanding, and sense of urgency to minimize the use of single-use plastic are still very low.” Also a factor is the cost, which is higher than using plastic.Hopefully, Evowar
33、e will succeed in convincing Indonesians, and people worldwide, that switching to their products will go a long way in protecting our beautiful planet.28.

36、ings in the ocean which have the power to suck in the small marine creatures and have the potential to carry them at high speed for a long distance.In the ocean, the vast eddies（旋涡） span up to hundreds of kilometers across and are a common event relatively. But now, to the researchers surprise, thes
37、e giant eddies（which were named “smoke rings” later）were spotted spinning（旋转）in opposite directions, travelling up to ten times the speed of the normal eddies. The smoke rings are cut in half by the sea surface due to which the researchers could see the two ends of the half ring on the sea surface.D
38、escribed in a research paper published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, the smoke rings were discovered by analyzing sea level measurements together with sea surface temperature images from the same time and place taken from satellites.“What we found was a pair of eddies spinning in oppo
39、site directions and linked to each other so that they traveled together all the way across the Tasman Sea, taking six months to do it, shared Chris Hughes, lead author of the study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. “The smoke rings require an area of calm water to expand, which
40、itself is quite unusual. I have looked at other areas of other oceans but I have only seen them in the oceans around Australia, plus one in the South Atlantic,” he added.The smoke rings require a calm water area to form, which is quite unique in itself. The team said that there are still a lot of th
