a popular vegetable,which figuresand cuisinesin manycountries aroundtheworld.It isparticularlyprominent inItalian cooking.But it was unknownin Europeuntil Spanishexplorers broughtit backfromtheAmericas.The tomatowas originatedin thehighlands ofPeru.From thereit eventuallyfound itsway toMexico,where itwascultivated bythe Aztecs.The Aztectomato wasntthe large,red vegetablewe knowtoday;rather,itwassmall andyellow.When thesmall roundfruit arrivedin Italy,itwasnamedngolden apple*,for itsbright yellowcolour.Youll noticethat I just calledit a fruit.Thats becausea tomatois botanicallyafruit,evenalmost everyonecalls itavegetable.The actualwordtomato comesfromtheAztec name for thevegetable meaningplant thing

1.The tomatowas arrivedin Europein the1500s,and quicklybecame apopular foodin SpainandItaly.In thelate1600s,the Italiansbegan publishingrecipes thatused tomatoes.The British,however,had a different attitudetoward thevegetable.It wasgrown as an ornamentalplant inBritain in the1600s,but itwasnt eaten,because itwasthought to be poisonous.It wasntuntil the1700s thattomatoes becamepartofthe dailydiet inBritain.2In theUnited States,tomatoes werealso usedas ornamentalplants ratherthan asfoods for along time.This attitudebegan tochange in the1800s.In1806a gardenerscalendar mentionedthattomatoes couldbe usedtoimprove theflavour ofsoups andother foods.Thomas Jeffersondid muchto enhancethe tomatosreputation as a food.He firstserved tomatoesto visitorsat hishome inVirginia in

1809.Then in1820,a mannamed RobertGibbon Johnsondecided itwas timeto discardonceinfluence allthe ideathattomatoes werepoisonous.To provehis point,he ateone kiloof ripetomatoes inpublic.2023people gatheredto watchthis feat,which tookplace onthe stepsof courthousein Salem,Massachusetts.Amazing enough,Johnson survivedthis stunt.The popularityofthetomato asa foodbegangrowing rapidly.Soon peopleall aroundthe countrywere eatingtomatoes.By the1830s,the Americannewspapersand magazineswerepublishing thousandsof tomatorecipes.However,all thoserecipes involvedusing tomatoesin somecooked form.Tomato saladsand sandwicheswere stillnot unknown.It wasntuntil acentury laterin1930sthat they becamepopular forpeople toeat rawtomatoes.Test4Section1Woman:This isthe ClearPoint TelephoneCompany customerservice office.My nameis Ms.Johns.How mayI helpyouMan:Yes,Im movingin thelateral arrangeto havea phoneline installed.Woman:This isthe ClearPoint TelephoneCompany customerservice office.My nameis Ms.Johns.How mayIhelpyouMan:Yes,Im movingin thelateral arrangeto havea phoneline installed.Woman:Of course.Let me get someinformation fromyou first.May I have yourname pleaseMan:Its Kramer.Harold Kramer.Woman:And wouldyou spellyour lastnameforme pleaseMan:K-R-A-M-E-R.Woman:M-E-R.Got it.Okay,could Ihavetheaddress whereyoud liketo havethe telephoneconnectedMan:That wouldbe Number58Fulton Avenue,apartment
