Do you like eating chocolate? The answer is probably “Yes”. Children and adults both love its smooth, sweet taste. But how much do you know about chocolate?
Chocolate comes from an ancient civilization (文明) called the Maya. The Mayan people had a special food called cocoa. Five hundred years ago, the Europeans found the Mayans and used cocoa to make chocolate.
All this changed when European companies started to produce chocolate bars in the 19th cen-tury. Chocolate bars were very popular. Russian and American astronauts took them into space in the 1960s. For centuries, chocolate was eaten only by the rich. Now it’s very common and there is even a chocolate museum in Cologne, Germany.
Chocolate comes in all shapes, sizes and colors. The biggest chocolate bar ever was made in Italy in 2011 and weighed almost 6 tons! That’s as big as an elephant.
Many people say chocolate is bad for health and skin. Not necessarily so! Scientists now say it is good for health in some ways, and can even help people lose weight. Acne (粉刺) and choco-late have no direct connection, according to World Cocoa Foundation. Healthy food and habits lead to healthy skin.
Be careful not to eat too much chocolate—it’s rather high in sugar and fat. The country that eats the most chocolate per person each year is Switzerland. They eat 19 pounds (9 kilos) per per-son on average! People in the US eat the most chocolate in total. They get through half of the world’s chocolate.

你喜欢吃巧克力吗？答案很可能是“喜欢”。孩子和成年人都喜欢它丝滑、香甜的味道。但是你对巧克力了解多少呢？
巧克力源自一个名为玛雅的古老文明。玛雅人有一种特殊的食物叫做可可。五百年前，欧洲人发现了玛雅人，并利用可可制作巧克力。
19世纪，欧洲公司开始生产巧克力棒，这一切都发生了变化。巧克力棒非常受欢迎。20世纪60年代，俄罗斯和美国的宇航员把它们带上了太空。几个世纪以来，只有富人才能吃到巧克力。现在它非常常见，在德国科隆甚至还有一座巧克力博物馆。
巧克力有各种形状、大小和颜色。有史以来最大的巧克力棒于2011年在意大利制作而成，重量几乎达到6吨！它和一头大象一样大。
很多人说巧克力对健康和皮肤有害。不一定是这样的！现在科学家表示，它在某些方面对健康有益，甚至可以帮助人们减肥。根据世界可可基金会的说法，粉刺和巧克力没有直接联系。健康的食物和习惯会带来健康的皮肤。
