Popular breakfast foods in the United States, as in many other countries around the world, include coffee, milk, juice, eggs and bread. Some other breakfast items served in the United States are thought by many to be traditionally American. However, they actually come from other countries.
A very popular breakfast food in America is the pancake---a thin, flat cake made out of flour(面粉) and often served with maple syrup（枫蜜,糖枫汁）. The idea of the pancake is very old. In fact, pancakes were made long ago in ancient China.
Bagels（硬面包圈）, a round thick bread with a hole in the middle, are also popular for breakfast in America. Polish（波兰的） people in the late 1600s came up with the idea for the first bagels and this new kind of bread soon took off across Eastern Europe.
In the late 1800s, thousands of Jews（犹太人） from Eastern Europe traveled to the United States and brought the recipe（配方） for bagels with them. Today, New York bagels are said to be the best in the world. Many people have them with cream cheese for breakfast.
Doughnuts (炸面圈)，usually spelled “donut” in the United States) came from France. They were served to American soldiers in France during World War Ⅰ. After the war, American soldiers asked cooks in the United States to make doughnuts for them. Now, served with coffee, they are a very popular breakfast food across the United States.

Today we explain a very old saying that has had a big influence on rock and roll music. That saying is a rolling stone gathers no moss(滚动的石头不长苔). It has several meanings. One of them is that a man who never settles down in one place will not be successful.
This proverb was said to be first used in 1500. But in the1960s, the expression “rolling stone” became famous in the world of rock and roll music. It became the name of a song, a rock group and a magazine.

In 1967, a young man named Jann Wenner started a magazine Rolling Stone. The magazine reported on rock music and the popular culture that the music created. By 1971, Rolling Stone had become the leading rock music and counterculture(反文化的) publication. It is still popular today.
