But they thought the vegetable was poisonous (有毒的). They called tomatoes “poison apples”.
President Thomas Jefferson, however, knew that tomatoes were good to eat. He was a learned man. He had been to Paris, where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes. He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden. The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup. This beautiful pink soup was served at the President party.

B

I began only as a calculating (计算) machine in 1642 in France. Then, in 1822 I was built as an Analytical (分析的) Machine by Charles Babbage. I followed instructions from cards with holes. I know this sounds very simple, but at that time it was a technological revolution (技术革命)! My real father was Alan Turing. In 1936 he wrote a book to describe how computers could be made to work, and built a“strange machine”to solve any mathematical problem. Earlier I was not very big, but then I became huge！However, people thought I was simple­minded until they discovered I had artificial intelligence.“Artificial！”I didn't know what they were talking about. Anyway, let's go back to my history. Then I was the size of a large room! As the years have gone by, I have been made smaller and smaller.
No one could recognize me after I got my new transistors (晶体管) in the 1960s.There were times when my size was totally changed.I became small and thin but I got cleverer and cleverer, quicker and quicker.And my memory became so large that I couldn't believe it！But I was always so lonely standing there by myself.In the early 1960s they gave me a family connected by a network.I could share information with others and we could talk to each other.At about the same time we learned to talk to humans using BASIC. I was brought into people's homes in the 1970s.Since then, my family and I have been used by billions of people to deal with information and communicate with each other around the world by the Internet.I love being used to connect people who aren't close enough to speak to each other.I have truly been built to serve the human race since my birth.
