[01:10.01]Lesson 30   Reading¹⁰
[01:22.68]Read the passage¹¹ to find the answer to this question:
[01:27.95]In which part¹² of the world were the tomato,
[01:33.13]the potato and com first discovered¹³?
[01:37.99]FOOD A ROUND THE WORLD
[01:41.75]When Christopher Columbus and his friends reached¹⁴ America in 1492,
[01:48.90]they discovered the plant "corn¹⁵" there.
[01:53.76]At least¹⁶ 450 years ago corn was¹⁷ brought¹⁸ to China.
[01:59.93]By 1555 it had already¹⁹ become important²⁰ here.
[02:06.17]Corn is a useful²¹ plant that can be eaten by both people and animals.
[02:13.15]In the 17th century²² corn was grown a lot in Tibet²⁴ and Sichuan.
[02:19.91]At that time the land²⁵ along²⁶ the Changjiang River was becoming very crowded²⁷;
[02:26.76]There was not enough room for the population²⁸.
[02:30.80]Farmers had to move into the hills,
[02:34.67]but they couldn't grow rice there.
[02:38.43]They needed a plant which didn't need as² much water as rice.
[02:44.08]Luckily they were able²⁹ to grow this new corn.
[02:49.04]Today,corn is found³⁰ all over the world.
[02:53.90]It is a very useful plant that can be prepared³¹ in many different ways.
[03:00.06]People in the West often boil³² it and eat it with salt and butter.
[03:06.59]Sometimes they cook it whole³³ over an open fire.
[03:11.84]In many parts³⁴ of the world corn is made³⁵ into powder³⁶.
[03:16.91]They powder is they mixed with water and other things,
[03:21.87]and made into different kinds of food.
[03:25.64]Corn was not the only food that was taken to Europe³⁷.
[03:30.39]In 1519 another traveller³⁸ who went to America from Europe discovered the tomato.
[03:37.84]Tomatoes were first taken back to Europe
[03:41.99]and they soon reached other parts of the world.
[03:46.06]When they arrived in England they were called "love apples".
[03:51.11]In the beginning,people who bought them often got³⁹ angry.
[03:56.38]They thought⁴⁰ that they were buying apples.
[04:00.04]A number of other plants were found in America,
[04:04.30]for example,beans,potatoes and different fruits.
[04:10.46]The potato is another plant that was taken back by early travellers⁴¹.
[04:16.24]It is a very useful plant;
[04:19.79]it can be grown in places where it is too cold to grow rice.
[04:25.25]Early European⁴² travellers to China
[04:29.19]took back to their own²³ countries the seeds⁴³ of fruit trees
[04:33.95]that they had not seen⁴⁴ before.
[04:37.19]Today,fruit trees which once grew only in China
[04:42.85]can be found in many parts of the world.
[04:47.01]And the fresh⁴⁵ fruit from these trees
[04:50.95]is shipped from one country to another.
[04:55.21]Today,new foods are travelling faster than ever before
