22、The modern pizza was originally invented in Naples, Italy, but the word pizza is Greek in origin, derived from the Greek word pēktos meaning solid or clotted.The ancient Greeks covered their bread with oils, herbs and cheese. The first major innovation that led to flatbread pizza was the use of tomato as a topping. It was common for the poor of the area around Naples to add tomatoes to their yeastbased flatbread, and so the pizza began.
While it is difficult to say for sure who invented the pizza, it is however believed that modern pizza was first made by baker Raffaele Esposito of Naples.

●The first pizzeria, Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba, was opened in 1830 in Naples.
●In North America, the first pizzeria was opened in 1905 by Gennaro Lombardi at 53 Spring Street in New York City.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My pillow was wet because of tears that night before the winter holiday. An e-mail from my college’s financial aid office was still showing on my computer screen. I didn’t have the money to return the next semester(学期).
My roommates were comparing their new class schedules, and planning how to share textbooks. They were another step closer to their dreams.
I was packing my dreams into boxes , along with blankets, pillows and towels. My dad helped carry my belongings into his old blue pickup truck and I hugged my friends and said goodbye. There were a mixture of best wishes and hopes for my return, but I knew my departure was probably permanent.
As the New Year passed, my social networks were filled with my classmates’ hopes for the new school season. They were returning to school and I was at home. I didn’t realize how lonely it would feel.
It was the first official day of school. I woke to the ring of the phone downstairs. As my father talked on the phone, I started searching for jobs in my area. Now that I wasn’t in school, I would need to start paying back my school loans.
The fact that I wouldn’t be returning to school became real. Ever since I had packed my things in my suitcase, there had been this small hope that maybe a miracle(奇迹)would happen. And I thought , “If someone helps me remain in college, I won’t disappoint him / her. I’ll study harder and repay his / her kindness someday!’’ But as I searched the job listings, I knew I had given up hope. No hero was going to come and save me.
The sound of the phone being hurriedly placed into the receiver and the thundering of my dad’s footsteps pulled me from my self-pity. “Son , pack up your stuff ; you’re heading back to school!” my father shouted. “The call was from the financial(财政的，金融的) aid office. The clerk on the phone said someone unknown had secretly donated money and paid all the rest of your college tuition.”
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右;

His eyes lit up as he took my empty suitcase.
