41-43題為題組 Believe it or not, America’s favorite snack food is the potato chip. There is a story behind how it was first made. One might think that somewhere a genius thought up the first potato chips, but it didn’t happen that way. Picture an elegant restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York, in 1853. The Moon Lake Restaurant’s menu included French-fried potatoes, a popular food recipe brought back from France by Thomas Jefferson. These were thickly cut potatoes, fried until golden brown and crisp on the outside. One evening a guest in the dining hall felt that his potatoes were too thick and sent them back to the kitchen. The cook sliced some potatoes thinner than before and prepared them for the complaining guest. He was still not satisfied and sent them back again! By this time the cook was angry and decided to do exactly what the dinner guest wanted: slice the potatoes as thin as possible. Then they would be so crisp that the diner wouldn’t be able to use his fork to eat them. When the paper-thin browned potatoes arrived, the diner was pleased. He was so happy with them that other guests started ordering the new potatoes. The cook’s plan to stop the dinner guest from complaining did not turn out as he had planned. Soon Saratoga Chips appeared on the menu and became so popular that people wanted to take some home. The restaurant started selling small packages of the potato chips. A few years later, they were selling all over the United States. But because the potatoes had to be peeled by hand, it was a time-consuming chore and potato chips were often out of stock. In the 1920s a mechanical potato peeler was invented and soon there were potato chips in abundance. They gradually spread all over the world, and have remained popular ever since.
【題組】41. According to this passage, mass production of potato chips was made possible when________.
(A) potatoes could be peeled by machines

信不信由你，美國最受歡迎的休閒食品是薯片。它是如何製作的背後有一個故事。人們可能會認為某個天才想到了第一個薯片，但事實並非如此。想像一下1853年在紐約薩拉託加斯普林斯的一家優雅的餐廳。月亮湖餐廳的菜單包括法國炸土豆，這是托馬斯杰斐遜從法國帶回來的一種受歡迎的食譜。這些是厚厚的土豆，油炸至金黃色，外面酥脆。一天晚上，在餐廳的一位客人覺得他的土豆太厚了，把他們送回了廚房。廚師將比以前更薄的土豆切成薄片，然後為抱怨的客人準備。他仍然不滿意並再次送他們回來！這時廚師很生氣，決定做晚餐客人想做的事情：盡可能地將土豆切成薄片。然後它們會非常脆，以至於用餐者不能用叉子吃它們。當薄薄的褐色土豆到達時，餐館很高興。他對他們很滿意，其他客人開始訂購新土豆。廚師原本想讓客人抱怨的計畫適得其反。不久，Saratoga Chips出現在菜單上，變得如此受歡迎，人們想要帶回家。餐廳開始銷售小包薯片。幾年後，他們在全美各地銷售。但由於土豆必須用手去皮，這是一項耗時的家務活，薯片經常缺貨。在20世紀20年代，人們發明了一種機械馬鈴薯削皮器，很快就會有薯片。它們逐漸在世界各地傳播，並一直保持流行。
