Chocolate is a product（产物） of the tropical（热带的） cacao tree.Cacao beans taste so bitter that even monkeys say "ugh!" and run away.The word "chocolate" comes from a Mayan word.The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico.They valued the cacao tree.Some of the Mayas used cacao beans for money，while others ground（研磨 ） them to make a bitter drink.
When the Spaniards（西班牙人） came to Mexico in the 16th century，they started drinking cacao，too.Because the drink was strong and bitter，they thought it was a medicine.When the Spaniards took the drink back to Europe，people discovered that sugar could remove（去掉） the bitter taste of cacao.Wealthy Spaniards heated the sweet drink and thought that it was good for their health.
In the 19th century，an English company made the first solid（固体的） block of sweetened chocolate.So people could both drink and eat chocolate.Later，a Swiss company mixed milk and chocolate together.People liked the taste of milk chocolate even better.

Later，with the invention of paper，folding（可折叠的） paper fans became popular during the Song Dynasty.There are usually beautiful pictures on fans.Some are landscapes （风景）.Others are flowers and animals.Moreover，many great people including Su Dongpo，a poet of the Song Dynasty，and Tang Bohu，scholar （学者） and painter of the Ming Dynasty，once painted their masterpieces（杰作） on fans.This made fans not only useful tools in daily life but also great artworks.
Therefore，with its value of beauty，people took fans as a symbol of status（地位） at that time.That's why in old China，emperors and scholars often held fans in their hands.
Today，fans are also great collectors' items and gifts.On the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games，folding fans were given to leaders and officials of other countries，as well as other audience（观众）.While they were waving fans to keep cool，they were also experiencing Chinese culture.
