There are not many nations that can say their national dish has become international.（1） Both are famous all over the world，and both have made the history of Italian food.People have been eating pizza，in one form or another，for centuries.They eat it everywhere — at home，in restaurants，or on street comers.
（2） Long ago，pieces of flatbread，topped with mushrooms and herbs （香料），were a simple and tasty meal.They were mostly for those who didn't have enough money to buy plates，or who were on the go.In the 18th century，Naples，in southern Italy，had become one of the largest cities in Europe，and it was growing fast.Lots of city people were poor and they were always rushing around to look for work.（3） Pizzas were cut to meet the customers' needs.They were inexpensive，used easy﹣to﹣find ingredients （原料），and could be made with plenty of flavor.
It was in America that pizza found its second home.（4） Soon，pizza spread across the country with the rapid development of the city.It was increasingly considered as a fast，fun food.People might like New York﹣style thin pizza，or Chicago deep﹣dish thick pizza.Some want extra cheese on their pizzas while others only like vegetables.（5）
For a lot of people in western countries，when they cannot decide what to eat，they order pizzas.
A.Nobody knows where pizza came from. B.The secret is，almost everyone likes pizzas. C.Italy has two such dishes，spaghetti and pizza. D.A number of people refused to eat pizzas in Italy. E.They needed food that was cheap and easy to eat. F.In 1905，the first pizzeria，Lombardi's，was opened in New York City. G.The word "pizza" came from the Latin word "pinsa" meaning flatbread. |
You might have seen beautiful rainbows in the sky before.They form when sunlight falls on water drops in the air.But in fact，moonlight can also create rainbows in the same way.They are called "moonbows".They are similar to rainbows，but they are created by moonlight instead of direct sunlight.
Moonbows are rarer than rainbows.Different weather and astronomical （天文学的）conditions have to be just right for moonbows to be created.
The moon has to be very low in the sky — only 42 degrees from the horizon （地平线）.The moon period has to be a full moon or nearly full.The sky must be very dark for a moonbow to be watched clearly — any bright light can obscure it.Water drops must appear in the air in the opposite direction of the moon.
Moonbows appear on the opposite side of the moon and usually look white to the human eye.This is because their colors are not bright enough to be noticed by the human eye.It is possible，however，to view the colors in a moonbow using long exposure （长时间曝光）photography.
Moonbows more often appear in some locations around the world.Most of these locations usually have waterfalls，which create thin fog in the air.Some of these locations are the Yosemite National Park in California and Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in Kentucky，US；Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe；and Waimea in Hawaii，US.
Moonbows do really happen.So at a certain time and a certain place，when a moonbow happens to appear，you can't miss it if you' re right there.

A.created by sunlight
B.much easier to find
