Do you like eating ice cream? Do you know how ice cream spread(传) in the world?
The earliest ice drink appeared in China many years ago. People put fruit juice into ice. Later，this idea spread to Italy(意大利). Nero，the emperor of Roma between 54 AD and 68 AD，liked to eat ice between violin lessons. He asked runners to run to the mountains to get snow. They had to run back to the palace as quickly as they could. Then the servants mixed the snow with fruit juice and honey to make drink for the emperor.
Around 1660，coffee shops serving ice cream were very popular in Paris. But Italians were best at making ice cream and most of the coffee shops were theirs. A man from Italy named Procopio opened the first successful coffee shop.
Ice cream was probably spread to America in the early 1700s and it quickly became the favorite of American leaders. George Washington had ice cream machines in his kitchen. Dolly Madison，the wife of President Madison，was the first one to serve her guests ice cream in the White House.
Before selling ice cream in stores，ice cream was made and frozen(冷冻) at home. It took lots of work to mix cream，eggs，fruit，ice and salt，and then to freeze it. Nancy Johnson，an American woman found a special way to store the ice cream in 1846. It was the first freezer. Five years later，Jacob Flusell opened the first ice cream business in Baltimore，Maryland. His business quickly spread to other states.

答案： earliest; runners; quickly; theirs; successful; favorite; to serve; selling; found; later
