Potatoes are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )very popular today. But in the past it was not so. Potatoes grew in South America 5,000 years ago. They only became popular in other places about 200 years ago.
In the 16th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )century, the Spanish took the potato from South America to Europe. But the people in Europe didn’t like this strange vegetable. Some people thought that their skins would look like the skin of the potato if they ate the potato. So they only ate the leaves. This made them sick because there was poison (毒物) in the leaves.
In the 1800s, peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e started to eat potatoes. Potatoes became the main food in Ireland. Then something unlucky happened. In 1845, a disease killed all the potatoes in Ireland. Two million people died of hunger.
Today, each country ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) has its potato dish. Germans eat potato salad and the United States has the baked potato. And of course, the French invented French fries. Now French fries are enjoyed all over the world.

The British are fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mous as animal lovers, and in this nation of about 60 million people, there are about 27 million pets! The most popular pets are dogs and cats.
Many British people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) say the main reason why they have a pet is to keep them company (陪伴). According to a recent report, 60% of the people who live on their own have a pet as company. A lot of pet owners treat the pet just like one of the family. Many cat owners make holes in their doors so their cats can come and go as they please. Dog owners spend a lot of time walking their dogs.
Another reason ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to own a pet is for protection, especially dogs. Most thieves would think twice about breaking into (闯入) a house if they could hear a large dog barking inside. Some people choose their pets because of their beauty. The most beautiful animals can win prizes at pet shows!
In the UK, some pet ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) owners think that nothing is too good for their animal! Some people take their pets to the animal doctor more often than they visit their own doctor. They might even take a day off to look after a pet when it is sick. Many people talk to their pets, and some talk to them over the telephone.
