I dreamed of becoming an artist when I was a little girl. My mom knew this and she gave me some crayons.

my room.
When I got home, I couldn’t find my crayons. My rainbow-colored treasures were missing!

crayons. I shouted at her, grabbed (抢夺) the crayons and ran back up to my room, shutting the door with a loud
noise. I sat there for at least half an hour.

door.
Once it reached my side of the door, I picked it up. As I read the words on the cover, my anger disappeared.

Passage 3
Chocolate is made from the seeds (种子) of cocoa trees (可可树). The seeds come in football-shaped pods (豆
荚). A pod is about 15 to 30 centimeters long, 8 to 10 centimeters wide. When you break a pod, you’ll find 20 to 60
seeds.
You take out these seeds, cover them up in banana leaves and leave them for about a week. This process is
called fermentation (发酵). It is similar to the process of making yogurt. After the fermentation, you dry them,
clean them, heat them and break them. Then you get something with a smell of chocolate. It is heated and separated
into cocoa butter. When you mix it with milk or sometimes vegetable oil, and sugar, you get different kinds of
chocolate.
Chocolate is not a good choice if you want to lose weight, but it is a good source (来源) of vitamins and
minerals (矿物质). You should be careful not to eat too much because it may cause some people to have a
headache. It can also cause skin problems in some people.

,
things. It is also said that chocolate helps many people sleep better. We might have to wait for more research but
we all know that we love chocolate!
