22、 We now think that chocolate is sweet, but once it was bitter. We think of it as a candy, but once it was a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes it’s an ingredient（构成部分）in the main course of a meal. Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called Mole and pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices like chili peppers.
Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree. The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say “Ugh!” and run away. Workers must first dry and then roast the beans. This removes the bitter taste.
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 used the beans for money, while others crushed them to make a drink.
When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century, they started drinking cacao, too. Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine. No one had the idea of adding sugar. The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes. Wealthy people drank cacao and said it was good for the digestion.
In the 1800s, the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao. It quickly became a cheap and popular drink. Soon afterwards, a factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate. Later on, another factory mixed milk and chocolate together. People liked the taste of milk chocolate even better.
Besides the chocolate candy bar, one of the most popular American snacks is the chocolate chip cookie. Favorite desserts are the chocolate cream pie and, of course, an ice cream sundae with hot fudge sauce.

23、Battling Perfectionism
When Benjamin Cherkasy was in eighth grade，he quit the swim team. It was not because he lacked the passion；he just couldn’t accept failures in matches. “I’m not Michael Phelps，why am I even on the team?”he said.
A US therapist(治疗专家)who researches perfectionism at Northwestern University realized years later what had happened. Cherkasy’s perfectionism was creating unrealistic standards. Unable to meet them，he quit.
“My perfectionism brought about very high expectations，and that caused real suffering，”he said.
Cherkasy is not alone in feeling that perfectionism can cause anxiety. So many millennials(千禧一代)suffer from the ills of perfectionism that psychologists are issuing warnings and schools are emphasizing the need to accept failure.
Northwestern had held several seminars that offered tips on how students could deal with a perfectionism problem.
Jessica Rohlfing Pryor，a psychologist leading the events，said every generation is a sponge(海绵)for the messages it receives.
“Millennials，more than any other generation in American society，are receiving clear messages around achieving. ”she said. “There’s an absence of messaging that trying your hardest is still OK. ”
The American Psychological Association also found out that recent generations of college students have reported higher levels of perfectionism than earlier generations.
This“desire to achieve along with being overly critical of oneself and others”affects young people’s mental health，according to its research，which analyzed data from over 40，000 college students.
Researchers noted that social media adds comparative pressure，along with the drive to earn money and achieve career goals. Perfectionists often create even higher goals，which can lead to a higher risk of failure.
In college，Cherkasy found himself surrounded by so many intelligent people that he felt he should have been achieving a higher level than he was. “It makes you feel kind of crazy，”he said.
This type of thinking can lead people to putting in less effort，which，as they fall behind，can create more anxiety. “It makes people feel kind of isolated. ”And that，Cherkasy added，”can cause students to drift away from(与…疏离)their schoo1. ”
Northwestern is not the only school eager to help students.
Brown University includes perfectionism in its counseling services，asking students if they ever feel that what they accomplish isn’t good enough.
【1】Why did Cherkasy leave the swim team in eighth grade?
A.He couldn’t reach the goal he set for himself.
B.He always did poorly in swimming competitions.
C.He needed more time to study.
D.He found he didn’t have any passion for swimming.
【2】Which of the following would Pryor probably not agree with?
A.Young generations should learn to accept failure.
B.Young people should accept being imperfect of themselves.
C.Individuals and society will benefit from perfectionism.
D.Millennials are eager to work hard to get perfection.
【3】What did the American Psychological Association discover?
A.Social media users were more likely to be perfectionists.
B.Perfectionism could have a negative impact on physical health.
C.College students suffer more perfectionism problems than ever.
D.Few universities offered help to students with mental problems.
【4】The author describes Cherkasy’s experience in college mainly to show____.
A.the pressure college students experience
B.the harm of being a perfectionist
C.the effect of isolation on perfectionists
D.the challenges underachievers have to overcome
24、My 12-year-old niece was staying with us for a couple of days. She was remembering some acts of kindness that we did together when she was less than five years old.
