阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，按照事件发生的先后顺序排序(开始句和结尾句序号已给出)

　　When Julia Somberg eats her favorite food, she feels bad．She knows that chocolate can have a lot of fat and sugar．But Julia says she loves chocolate so much-once she starts eating it, she can’t stop．

　　Julia isn’t the only one who loves chocolate．It is a favorite food for people all over the world．People prefer chocolate over ice cream, cakes, and cookies．

　　The idea of eating chocolate didn’t begin until the 19th century．Before that, people drank chocolate．The habit began in Central America where the Aztecs drank bowls of chocolate to stay watchful．When the liquid(液体)chocolate was brought to Spain in the 1500s, people thought it was medicine because it had a medicine taste．In fact, the people who made chocolate into drinks were doctors．

　　Then people discovered that mixing chocolate with sugar made a wonderful drink．King Ferdinand of Spain loved this drink so much that he put out an order：anyone who talked about chocolate outside the court(法庭)would be killed．For about 100 years, chocolate was a secret in Spain．

　　Finally, people found out about chocolate, and it became a popular drink in Europe．Later, the Swiss mixed milk and chocolate．Today, most Americans prefer milk chocolate, while most Europeans prefer dark chocolate．

　　New research shows that chocolate is actually good for us．“Chocolate has different kinds of vitamins, ” says a researcher in France．“It has more than 300 different chemicals．One chemical works on the part of the brain(大脑)that feels pleasure．People who feel good when they eat chocolate are actually healthier．Feeling pleasure is important for health and can protect against illness．”“Good chocolate doesn’t have much fat or sugar．You can enjoy it if you eat a little at a time!”says Tara Berish, another chocolate lover．

1．________ Doctors made chocolate into drinks．

　　1　　 The Aztecs drank chocolate to stay watchful．

根据短文内容，完成下列任务。

　　About one hundred years ago, many educated people spoke French when they met people from other countries．Today most people speak English when they meet foreigners．It has become the new international language．There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first language．Why?

　　There are many reasons why English has become so popular．One of them is that English has become the language of business．Another important reason is that popular American culture, like movies, music, and McDonald's has quickly spread throughout the world．It has brought its language with it．

　　Is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? I don't know．It's important to have a language that everyone has in common．Our world has become global and we need to communicate with one another．On the other hand, English is a rather hard language to learn and it brings its culture with it．Do we really need that?

　　Scientists have already tried to make an artificial(人造的)language that isn't too difficult and isn't from any one group's culture．It is called Esperanto．But it hasn't become popular．Maybe the popularity of English won't last that long, either．Who knows? There are more people in the world who speak Chinese than any other language．Maybe someday Chinese will be the new international language．

1．What was the world language a century ago?

2．Why has English become an international language today? Give at least two reasons．

3．What can we get from Paragraph 3?

4．In the last paragraph, what do scientists want to tell us?

5．将第三段中划线句子翻译成汉语。
