10、u may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French. The reason goes back to the year 1066, when Norman forces invaded (入侵) what is now Britain.

17、h new ways to keep existing customers and attract new ones. While Dominos attract fans by using high-tech concepts like delivery robots, Pizza Hut focuses on making the delivery box more exciting.

20、the public earlier this month is only available in the United Kingdom, and even worse, at just five of the countrys 350 Pizza Hut location.Though that is unfortunate, Pizza Hut did introduce a Flick Football Field pizza box for its US fans this week.
