题目内容：

People all over the world make edible (可食用的) homes and villages out of gingerbread (姜饼). Gingerbread can be smooth, soft bread, but if you want to build a house out of it, you make it as a cookie.

Gingerbread probably came from the Middle East or Asia. People there have been making it for over a thousand years. It is said that gingerbread arrived in Europe in the tenth century. A man named Gregory Makar brought the recipe (食谱) from Armenia to France.

Although gingerbread became popular in many parts of Europe, it really caught on in Germany. After the Brothers Grimm wrote the story of Hansel and Gretel, Germans began to make gingerbread houses. Later, when Germans moved to America, they brought this tradition with them. And it became a tradition for many Americans, especially around Christmastime.

In 1991, the city of Bergen, Norway, started a gingerbread tradition of its own. Every winter, children aged eleven and under are invited to build a city out of gingerbread.

There is also a gingerbread house competition in North Carolina, America. It’s called the National Gingerbread House Competition. Anyone aged five or older can join in.

From cookies to houses, and from Armenia to America, gingerbread has changed a lot over the past one thousand years. And people keep imagining new uses for the delicious dessert.
