第一节

Do you like eating ice－cream？ Do you know how ice－cream spread（传播） in the world？

Chinese people ate the earliest ice many years ago. They put fruit juice into ice. Later，this idea spread to Italy. Nero， the emperor（国王） of Rome between 54 AD and 68 AD， liked to eat ice between violin lessons. He ordered runners to run to the mountains， get snow and quickly run back to the palace. The snow was mixed with fruit juice and honey.

Around 1660，coffee shops serving ice－cream were very popular in Paris. Italians owned most of the coffee shops. A man from Italy named Francisco Procopio opened the first successful one.

Ice－cream probably arrived in America in the early 1700s，and it then became the favorite of American presidents. George Washington had ice－cream machines in his kitchen. Dolley Madison，the wife of President Madison，was the first one to serve her guests ice－cream in the White House.

Making ice－cream takes lots of work. Put cream，eggs，fruit，ice and salt together，and then freeze the mixture. Nancy Johnson，an American woman made the hand－turned ice－cream freezer in 1846. Five years later， Jacob Flusell opened the first ice－cream business in Baltimore， Maryland. His business quickly spread to other places.

Imagine the scene： You come home after work， and find some dishes as delicious as those recommended（推荐） by Michelin. It sounds like impossible. But thanks to a robot developed by British scientists， it will come true.

According to its creators， the robot can cook almost anything you would like to eat. The robot moves a little slowly，but it imitates human movements（动作） closely enough. If there are a few dirty things，it doesn’t matter. Its dishwasher can make everything nice and clean.

Users will be able to order dinner on their way home， or breakfast when they wake up， using an app on their smartphones and picking recipes depending on the materials they have in the robot.
