Vending Machines
Japan is well known for its vending machines. In fact, it could be called the vending machine capital of the world. No matter where you are in Japan, you're only a step or two away from a vending machine. Streets and buildings are overflowing with them. Thirsty? Oh, there's a hot and cold drinks machine right there. This is definitely not the case in most other countries, though. You seldom see a vending machine in public places. Japanese, when they travel abroad, often find this lack of vending machines very inconvenient.
Why have vending machines become so popular in Japan? Limited space, the dense population, and low crime rate have all been pointed out as reasons.
Behind the convenience of Japan's vending machines lie some serious problems. Some sell cigarettes and beer, so even teenagers can readily buy them. Vending machines also raise concerns about the environment. Critics say they consume too much energy and waste resources. And, if you ask me, they're ugly, too.

題名：[We ALL Scream for Ice Cream]
本文：It is safe to say that ice cream is the world's favorite dessert. But it is not so easy to say just when this cool and refreshing confection was created. One thing for sure, it did not happen overnight. The development of ice cream was a long, historical process.
Tradition has it that it was the Chinese who invented ice cream some two thousand years ago. But it wasn't ice cream as we know it today. It was a kind of frozen food exported into ancient Rome. In the 13th century, a recipe for making milk sherbet circulated around Europe, allegedly brought back from China by Marco Polo. In the 16th century, the Italians created what they called "water ice". Later, this somehow evolved into ice cream and spread to France, Britain, and America.
Originally, ice cream was mainly a dessert for the rich and royal of Europe. Even in democratic America, it didn't become available to the general public until 1832, when the first ice cream shop opened in Philadelphia. As for the popular ice cream cone, no one knows for certain when this came into being. Paper and metal cones were used to serve ice cream in France and Britain in the late 18th century. Some food historians say the first edible cone was cooked up in England in the 1850s. American food historians claim it made its first appearance in 1904, at the St. Louis World's Fair.
As Americans are fond of saying, I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. Today, there are literally thousands of different ice cream flavors to satisfy every individual and cultural taste. On a hot summer's day, that flavor do you scream for?
