Hershey chocolate has become famous around world. But did you know that the Hershey chocolate factory is only about one hundred years old? And did you know that the founder(创办人) Hershey Chocolate, Milton Hershey, had many failures(失败) in business before he started his famous company?
Milton Hershey grew up in a farm country of Pennsylvania. Before he started making chocolate, Milton Hershey was a printer. He worked for a small newspaper and then he decided to change a job.
Later he got a job at a candy factory. After working a few years at the factory, he decided to open his own little candy business. His first business had to choose down because it was not making money. After that, he travelled to Denver, Colorado, to learn how to make caramals(焦糖).
He took his new skills to New York and worked selling candies on the streets. But this second business also failed.
Finally, Milton Hershey back to the farm country where he grew up. He then experimented with all sorts of different candies and chocolates. The area where he lived had lots of dairy farms, so he could plenty of fresh milk easily.
And he could get other supplies(原料), such as sugar, from nearby Philadelphia. By 1893 he was selling a million dollars worth of caramel candy every year. Since his chocolate-flavoured(巧克力风味) caramel was the best-selling, he decided to make chocolate himself.
By experimenting, Milton Hershey learned how to make delicious chocolate by using fresh, sweet milk. His milk chocolates were so popular that he sold his caramel factory and made chocolate only. In 1903, Milton Hershey built a huge chocolate factory and town of Hershey.
Today, the town of Hershey is still the home of factory that Milton Hershey built. And if you ever visit, you can smell the delicious chocolate smells just by driving through the town.

"Never set foot in this house again!" shouted father. "BANG" the door closed behind me. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
But now … I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions on me. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered the streets, without any aim in my mind. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets. When I finally reached the apartment where I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself: "Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"
In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. All the lights were off except father's.
Dad was always like this. He has got used to arguing with me. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never said sorry to me. But after an argument he always came into my room secretly and made sure whether I was asleep.
The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe…With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love is second to none.
a. I opened the door and entered the house.
b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house's light still on.
d. I thought of my father's kindness towards me.
e. I walked about in the street without any aim.
