II. Read and answer.

It was a rainy day when Marco Polo and his uncle
finally arrived home from China. None of the people at the big “piazza” could recognize them. No one could believe that these strangely dressed men with long beards could be the Polo men. It had been so long ago that they had left Venice; no news had ever come from them. So, even their family was sure they were dead.

After proving their identity Marco began narrating his experiences. From him people in Venice heard about extremely large nuts, which we call coconuts, aboutleaves people boiled in water and drank, which we call tea, about dishes of ice covered with fruit, among other things. It’s because of Marco Polo’s travels that people
in Italy began eating ices until they were able to prepare ice cream as we know it now. News traveled fast from Italy to France, then to England and finally to America.

In the late 1700’s GeorgeWashington was the first
American to buy a machine for making ice cream.
Today you can continue to make it at home but it can also be bought at stores and supermarkets. Although ice cream is most often eaten for its delicious taste, it is also known to be a healthy although fattening food.

(A) France.
(B) America.
(C) Italy.
(D) England.

17. According to the selection, Marco Polo was

(A) storyteller.
(B) traveler.
(C) teamaker.
(D) ice cream man.

18. The best title for the selection is

(A) The First Ice Cream Store.
(B) Marco Polo’s Travels.
(C) Where to Buy Ice Cream.
(D) The History of Ice Cream.

19. According to the selection, the first people
to have ice cream were

(A) Italian.
(B) French.
(C) English.
(D) American.

20. From the reading, it can be concluded that

their ice cream by
