Baguette 
Read a short passage about how a long, crispy loaf became a classic French bread. 
1.1
A baguette is a type of bread that is very popular in France.  It is long and thin with a crisp crust.  People all over the world enjoy eating baguettes.  They are often eaten with cheese, butter, or jams.  Sometimes, they are used to make sandwiches. 

法棍是一种在法国非常受欢迎的面包。它又长又细,外皮酥脆。世界各地的人们都喜欢吃法棍。它们经常与奶酪、黄油或果酱一起食用。有时,它们被用来制作三明治。

1.2
The word "baguette" means "stick" in French.  This name comes from the bread's long, stick-like shape.  Baguettes are usually about 26 inches long but can be shorter or longer. 

“baguette”一词在法语中的意思是“棍子”。这个名字来源于面包的长棍形状。法棍通常长约26英寸,但也可以更短或更长。

1.3
Baguettes were first made in the 1920s in France.  Before this, French breads were round and thick.  The creation of the baguette changed how people enjoyed bread.  Its shape and size made it easy to bake and eat. 

法棍面包首次制作于20世纪20年代的法国。在此之前,法国的面包是圆而厚的。法棍的创造改变了人们享用面包的方式。它的形状和大小使其易于烘焙和食用。

1.4
Making a baguette involves simple ingredients: flour, water, yeast, and salt.  The dough is kneaded and then shaped into long pieces.  These pieces are left to rise.  This is when the dough becomes bigger and softer.  After rising, the dough is baked until the outside is golden and crispy. 

制作法棍面包需要简单的原料:面粉、水、酵母和盐。面团被揉捏然后塑成长条。这些长条被放置发酵。这时面团会变得更大更软。发酵后,面团被烘烤至外皮金黄酥脆。

1.5
People in France buy baguettes fresh from bakeries almost every day.  In French culture, having fresh bread like this at meals is very important.  Baguettes are part of daily life in France. 

在法国,人们几乎每天都会从面包店购买新鲜的法棍。在法国文化中,餐桌上拥有这样的新鲜面包非常重要。法棍是法国日常生活的一部分。

1.6
A fun way to enjoy a baguette is to fill it with your favorite ingredients.  You can put in meats, cheeses, or vegetables.  This makes a tasty meal that is easy to carry and eat. 

享用长棍面包的一种有趣方式是将其填满你最喜欢的食材。你可以放入肉类、奶酪或蔬菜。这样制作出的美味餐点既便于携带又容易食用。

1.7
Fun fact: There is a special competition in France called the "Grand Prix de la Baguette."  Every year, bakers from all over Paris make their best baguettes.  A group of judges tastes them and chooses the best one.  The winner gets a prize and becomes very famous.  This shows how important baguettes are to French people. 

**有趣的事实**:法国有一个特别的比赛叫做“Grand Prix de la Baguette”。每年,来自巴黎各地的面包师都会制作他们最好的法棍面包。一组评委品尝并选出最好的一个。获胜者会获得奖品并变得非常有名。这显示了法棍面包对法国人的重要性。
