Do you know when and where ice-cream was created? It has a long and interesting history.

The earliest ice-cream was eaten in China many centuries ago. People at that time would put orange juice on the ice or get something cool to drink. Later, this idea traveled to Italy. Around 1669, it was popular to serve ice-cream in coffee shops in Paris. Most of the shops were owned by Italians. Among them the first successful one belonged to (属于) a man named Francesco Procopius. Ice-cream was brought to America in the early 1700s, and it quickly became the favorite of Americans. President George Washington had ice-cream pots and machines in his kitchen. Dolly Madison, the wife of President Madison, was the first one to serve it in the White House. She made her guests very happy when she served such desserts.

Before ice-cream was sold in stores, it was made and kept at a very low temperature (温度) first. It took a lot of work to mix cream, eggs, fruit and ice. Nancy Johnson, an American woman who was good at machines,  invented the ice-cream freezer in 1846. Five years later, Jacob Flu opened the first ice-cream factory in Baltimore, Maryland. Her business quickly came to other states.

Today in the United States, ice-cream is not only a kind of food, but also a way of life.

56. What would people put on the earliest ice-cream? f

A. Apple juice.    B. Orange juice.    C. Milk shake.    D. Coca Cola.

57. Who is the owner of the first successful coffee shop to serve ice-cream?

58. What does the underlined word "freezer" mean in Chinese?

A. In 1660, ice-cream became popular in supermarkets in Paris.  

B. Ice-cream was welcomed by Americans in the early 1700s.

C. The first ice-cream factory was opened in 1846 in Maryland.

D. Chinese didn’t know what ice-cream was many centuries ago.

60. What’s the passage mainly about?
