You can cook with ginger. You can make candy from ginger.
You can put ginger into drinks or take it as medicine. And if you enjoy
baking, you can even make a house out of gingerbread.
Ginger—the key ingredient in gingerbread and the tiny houses
themselves—has a long history. It is believed that ginger was used as
early as 2,000 B.C. in China. Gingerbread houses were first written
about during the 15th century. But it was the 19th-century folk story
“Hansel and Gretel” that started a trend. This classic story is about a
brother and sister, named Hansel and Gretel, who are left in a forest by
their mean stepmother. A magic bird leads the children to a fantastic
house, which is made of gingerbread and candy, and belongs to an
evil witch. She wants to eat the children, but they manage to escape
with her treasure. When the children finally arrive home, their
stepmother is gone, so the children can celebrate and share the
treasure with their father.
As European immigrants made their way around the world, they
took along this story and their tradition of making gingerbread houses
before Christmas. One example occurred in the town of Belleville,
Illinois, in the 1850s. As large numbers of German immigrants moved
there, many brought along their gingerbread-house recipes. Today,
during the holidays, Belleville hosts a “Gingerbread Walk” through its
downtown area. Along the path, shop owners display beautifully
made gingerbread houses and other gingerbread creations in their
windows. The event allows visitors and locals alike to enjoy Belleville’s
tastiest tradition.
72. What does the writer indicate about ginger?
(A) It has a variety of uses.
(B) It can be difficult to find.
(C) It costs more these days.
(D) It was discovered recently.
73. What is true about Hansel and Gretel?
(A) They’re young classmates.
(B) They run away from home.
(C) They’re characters in a tale. (D) They enjoy raising animals.
74. What are Hansel and Gretel able to do?
(A) Get well very quickly.
(B) Save their own lives.
(C) Rescue a dear friend.
(D) Find their real mom.
75. According to this passage, what did the immigrants bring to
Belleville in the 1850s?
(A) Instructions for making gingerbread houses
(B) Gingerbread houses manufactured in Germany
(C) Money to buy gingerbread houses in Illinois
(D) The earliest illustrations of gingerbread houses
76. Who most likely makes gingerbread houses in the windows?
(A) Carpenters
(B) Baker
(C) Magicians (D) Painters
