Passage 4 Who is drunk?

Harry liked driving his car very fast.

One day, he hit another car. Harry jumped out and ran to it. There was an old man in the car. He was very angry and said to Harry. "What are you doing? You nearly killed me!"

"Sorry, sir," Harry answered, "I'm so sorry."

He took a bottle out of his car and said, "Drink some of this, and you'll feel better." He gave the old man some whisky.

The old man drank it, and then he shouted again, "You nearly killed me!" Harry gave him the bottle again.

"I feel much better now. But why aren't you drinking?" the old man said.

"I don't want any whisky now. I'm going to sit here and wait for the police," said Harry.

威士忌的起源

威士忌是一种意外发现的饮品。中世纪的炼金术士们在炼金的同时,偶然发现制造蒸馏酒的技术,并把这种可以焕发激情的酒用拉丁语命名为aqua-vitae (生命之水)。生命之水飘洋过海流传至古爱尔兰。人们将当地的麦酒蒸馏之后,生产出口感强烈的酒性饮料,这是公认的最早的威士忌。
