The man who invented Coca-cola was not a native Atlanta, but on the day of his funeral every drugstore in town testimonially(表示纪念地)shut up shop. He was John Styth Pemberton, bom in 1833 in Knoxville, Georgia, eighty miles away. Sometimes known as Doctor, Pemberton was a pharmacist who, during the Civil War, led a cavalry troop under General Joe Wheeler. He settled in Atlanta in 1869, and soon began brewing such patent medicines as Triplex Liver Pills and Globe of Flower Cough Syrup(糖浆). In 1885, he registered a trademark for something called French Wine Coca—Ideal Nerve and Tonic Stimulant. A few months later he formed the Pemberton Chemical Company, and recruited the services of a bookkeeper named Frank M. Robinson, who had not only a good head for figures but, attached to it, so exceptional a nose that he could audit the composition of a batch of syrup merely by sniffing it. In 1886—a year in which, as contemporary Coca-Cola officials like to point out, Conan Doyle unveiled Sherlock Holmes and France unveiled the Statue of Liberty—Pemberton unveiled a syrup that he called Coca-Cola. It was a modification of his French Wine Coca. He had taken out the wine and added a pinch of caffeine, and, when the end product tasted awful, had thrown in some extract of cola nut and a few other oils, blending the mixture in a three-legged iron pot in his back yard and swishing it around with an oar. He distributed it to soda fountains in used beer bottles, and Robinson, with his glowing bookkeeper’s script, presently devised a label, on which " Coca-Cola" was written in the fashion that is still employed. Pemberton looked upon his mixture less as refreshment than as a headache cure, especially for people whose headache could be traced to over-indulgence.
On a morning late in 1886, one such victim of the night before dragged himself into an Atlanta drugstore and asked for a bottle of Coca-Cola. Druggists customarily stirred a teaspoonful of syrup into a glass of water, but in this instance the man on duty was too lazy to walk to the fresh-water tap, a couple of feet off. Instead, he mixed the syrup with some soda water, which was closer at hand. The suffering customer perked up almost at once, and word quickly spread that the best Coca-Cola was a fizzy one. [br] One modification made of French Wine Coca formula was that______.
选项
A、used beer bottles were chosen as containers
B、the amount of caffeine in it was increased
C、it was blended with oils instead of water
D、cola nut extract was added to taste
答案
D
解析
由第一段倒数第三句可知,在配制该产品时,由于味道不好,他又加入了一些可乐果精油,使其变得好喝起来。而且该产品被称为“可口可乐”,可见可乐果在其中有着相当重要的作用,由此可见D)为答案。
