Millions of hamburgers are eaten by pepole in every corner of the world every day.Togetjherwith hot dogs and Coca-Cola,hamburgers have been the most important American contribution(贡献)to international eating habits.
The name ‘hamburger’has nothing to do with ham(火腿).It is believed that the hamburger was first brought to the United States by Germans from the city of Hamburg some time in the 1850s.The first known reference to hamburgers was in a newspaper in Washington State in 1889.From then on the hamburger became a kind of popular American fast food.
Now young people in Asia ,Europe and South America have learned to eat while on the move
After two years my father told me and my brother that he felt we were old enough to do lawns(草坪)on our own. Every Saturday during our last two years of high school. We set out early in the morning with the same desire(愿望)and drive we had gained while working under our father.
Taking care of lawns was not exciting or high-paying, but that didn’t matter. It taught me that any job is a good job and that whatever I was paid was more than I had before.
A newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live on a forty-hour-a-week minimum(的)pay.‘My father never worked just forty hours a week, and neither have I,’I replied.‘If you’re only working forty hours, you probably don’t want to do any better than you’re doing.’
In every job I’ve held Keep sugar and salt in water
drink it as often as necessary
take it as much as possible
use it to kill the bacteria
