Soong Mei-ling, also known as Madame Chiang Kai-shek, was a Chinese political figure and a first lady of the Republic of China. Born in Shanghai, China, on March 5, 1898,
Soong Mei-ling split her education between schools in the United States and China. Some
might say that this worldly upbringing was a key factor contributing to her achievements
later in life.
While the political feats of her husband, President Chiang Kai-shek, may be more widely
recognized, Soong Mei-ling's accomplishments are just as notable. As first lady, Soong
Mei-ling introduced her husband to Western culture and ideas. Likewise, she served as
her husband's emissary, or spokesperson, to the West. During a visit to the United States
in 1943, Soong Mei-ling became the second woman to address a joint session of the U. S.
Congress. The trip earned her the esteem of the American public, who praised her
passion and determination, and she raised billions of dollars in aid for her country.

Read the passage from sugar changed the world. but it is in india, where it was used as an offering in religious and magical ceremonies, that we have the first written record of sugar. long before the first pyramids were built in egypt, the ancient sumerians traded with the people of harappa and mohenjo daro, who lived along the indus river. unfortunately, we are still not able to read the writings left behind from those ancient cities. so the first documents telling us about life in that region come from a much later period. these hindu sacred teachings were probably first gathered together sometime between 1500 and 900 b.c., and were carefully memorized. only hundreds of years later were they finally written down. the hindu writings tell us of a religion in which fire was extremely important. people believed that the gods gave fire to human beings. yet fire was also a way for humans to reach the gods. by placing offerings in a special fire, a priest could turn them into smoke and send them on to the gods. five ingredients were selected for this special burning: milk, cheese, butter, honey, and sugar cane. which details would best fit in a summary of this passage? select two options. "in india . . it was used as an offering in religious and magical ceremonies" "the first written record of sugar" "long before the first pyramids were built in egypt" "gods gave fire to human beings" "a priest could turn them into smoke and send them on to the gods"
