The word pizza has always been known to mean pie or cake, and is an

8、Italian word. This fact alone might suggest pizzas origins. However, some years ago, in New York city, a Chinese restaurateur challenged the Italian ethnicity of pizza by declaring that pizza was originally a Chinese food, but was then taken along with pasta by Marco Polo (应该是马可波罗吧？） back to Italy.

9、It seemed the question would never be solved. The second paragraph refers to the word controversy, the last word o f the first paragraph. What is the controversy about pizza? We find out that in New York there was a man in restaurant business, a Chinese man, who decided to say that, well the word pi

10、zza is Italian, but the food pizza is a kind of Chinese food, which, quite a few centuries ago, found by Marco Polo, an Italian discoverer and venturer, who went to China many centuries ago, and found the food there very delicious and took it back to Italy.

13、rateurs challenged the Chinese businessmans view, but when all the evidence was in, the result was announced by a judge. As early as the Roman Empire, pizza was baked in ovens there and eaten.

14、developped from India through Europe where they are enjoyed today. Besides, cheese is an essential element of pizza, and the Chinese traditionally did not produce cheese. The case was closed, and pizzas paternity has now been established. This paragraph tells us what happened in court. And as we add

15、 here, only in Ameria, I think many people would not believe that people would go to court to decide where a food came from. Its an 浪费，but in America, anything can be ended in court. So the Chinese businessman took the case to court because he wanted people to think that pizza was a Chinese food. Bu

16、t many Italian restaurateurs challenged that idea and both sides brought evidence to a judge. The judge looked at the evidence, and then made an decision. Because pizza was eaten during the Roman Empire more than two thousand years ago, because bread is baked in Western countries, not steamed or fri

17、ed, and because cheese is an essential element of pizza, but cheese was not eaten by Chinese until modern times, he decided that more likely pizza really is Italian than Chinese. / Mmm, more likely, 极有可能， When all the evidence was in, 所有证据都收集起来后，这个evidence是不可数的。在中级中有多次提到过。We found a piece of evidenc

25、t, and pizza is no exception. So some people consider pizza to be a kind of junk food, that is food which has no nutritional value for us. For people who like pizza say that well, it depends on what you put into the pizza, whether it will be a healthful food or junk food. 注意这里Bruce用的是healthful food,

26、 而不是healthy food. 因为healthful food 是指有益健康的，而healthy指的是本身健康的，意思是不一样的。不过有时候在口语里没这么讲究。写作最好还是分开的好。 Jogging is healthful. If you want to be healthy, youve got to exercise. Ok, these are other reasons people dont like pizza. Others protest that pizza is too fattening to be eaten regularly. Not true, respo

28、enerous addition of spices such as salt ensure that pizza need not be considered junk food. A well-made pizza not only looks, smells, and tastes great, but it is a wise choise for everyone as regular food sauce. Indeed, it seems the only disadvantage to pizza is that when dropped, it causes a mess.

29、Again, people complained about pizza that you will get fat if you eat too much. But others point out that, well, again, it depends on how you prepare your pizza. If you use low-fat foods, then pizza will not be fattening. They think its a great food sauce. 注意advantage, and disadvantage + to.somethin
