Write your answers onto the separate answer sheet. One of the most popular foods around the world today is pizza. Pizza restaurants are popular everywhere from Beijing to Moscow to Rio, and even in the United States, the home of the hamburger, there are more pizza restaurants than hamburger places. This worldwide love for pizza is a fairly recent phenomenon. Before the 1950s, pizza was a purely Italian food, with a long history in southern Italy. The origins of pizza are somewhat uncertain, though they may go back to the Greeks (pita bread) or even earlier. Under the Roman Empire, Italians often ate flat circles of bread, which they may have flavored with olive oil, cheese, and herbs. By about the year 1000 A.D. in the area around Naples, this bread had a name: picea. This early kind of pizza lacked one of the main ingredients we associate with pizza: the tomato. In fact, tomatoes did not exist in Europe until the sixteenth century, when Spanish explorers brought them back from South America. The Spanish showed little interest in tomatoes, but southern Italians soon began to cultivate them and use them in cooking. At home point in the 1600s, Neapolitan tomatoes were added to pizza, as it was known by then. The next development in pizza making came about, according to legend, in June 1889, when a Neapolitan pizza maker was asked to make pizza for the king and queen. To show his patriotism, he decided to make it green, white, and red, like the Italian flag, using basil leaves, mozzarella, and tomato. He named his pizza “Margherita”, after the queen, and that is what this classic kind of pizza is still called today. In Italy, pizza remained a specialty of Naples and other areas of the south until well into the twentieth century. Then, in the 1950s and 60s, when many southerners moved to the north to work in the new factories, pizzerias opened up in many northern Italian cities. By the 1880s, they could be found all over the country and pizza had become a part of the Italian way of life. Today, pizza has become so common in so many countries that its Italian origins are often forgotten. Indeed, the global versions of pizza made with all kinds of ingredients have little in common with the Neapolitan originals, as anyone knows who has tasted a pizza in Naples.

Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States coins and their number has varied from one to forty-eight stars. Most of the coins issued from about 1799 to the early years of the twentieth century bore thirteen stars representing the thirteen original colonies. Curiously enough, the first American silver coins, issued in 1794, had fifteen stars because by that time Vermont and Kentucky has joined the Union. At that time it was apparently the intention of mint officials to add a star for each new state. Following the admission of Tennessee in 1796, for example, some varieties of half dimes, dimes, and half-dollars were produced with sixteen starts. As more states were admitted to the Union, however, it quickly became apparent that this scheme would not prove practical and the coins from A798 on were issued with only thirteen stars-one for each of the original colonies. Due to an error at the mint, one variety of the A828 half cent was issued with only twelve stars. There is also a variety of the large cent with only A2 stars, but this is the result of a die break and is not a true error. Question 59: What is the main topic of the passage? 4
