Are you looking for a cheap, clean, effective source of power that doesn't cause

(1 p)

                WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF THE HAMBURGER?

We will probably never know who first sold a beef inside a bun, but there are lots
of contenders for having invented something similar.
Genghis Khan and his army of Mongol horsemen used to snack on raw beef which
they kept underneath their saddles. They also ground meat from lamb or mutton.
This was fast food for busy warriors on horseback at that time. When the Mongols
invaded Russia, the snack became known as “Steak Tartare”. In the 17th and 18th
centuries trade between Germany and Russia gave rise to the “Tartare steak”,
while the “Hamburg steak” became popular with German sailors along the New
York City harbour.

It’s speculated that the first “Hamburger steak” was served at Delmonico’s
Restaurant in New York City ini 834, but not in a bun. In 1885 Charlie
“Hamburger” Nagreen served flattened meatballs between two slices of bread. As
late as 1904 Fletcher Davis of Athens, Texas, attracted much attention when he
sold his hamburgers

at the St. Louis World’s Fair. Davis’s claim to having originated the hamburger
has been supported by both McDonalds and Dairy Queen.

Brothers Frank and Charles Menches may also have made a major contribution to
hamburger history: they sold ground pork sandwiches at the Erie Country Fair in
New York, but one day in 1885, they were forced to use chopped beef because
their butcher had run out of pork. They mixed in some coffee and brown sugar to
beef up the taste and sold their “Hamburger Sandwiches.” The name “Hamburger”
came from Hamburg, New York, the location of the fair.

1. Which of the following is NOT stated about the Mongols in paragraph 2?

A. They occupied the Russian territories.

B. They used to eat while riding a horse.

C. They kept lambs and mutton nearby.

D. They used to eat non-cooked meat.

2. Which of the following is stated in the passage?

A. Tartar stake became popular in the 17th century.

B. Minced beef appeared in the 15th century.

C. Hamburger was first served in Germany.

D. Sailors brought hamburger steak to New York.

3. Whom was “hamburger steak” invented by, according to paragraph 3?

A. Charlie “Hamburger” Nagreen

B. Fletcher Davis

C. McDonalds

D. Delmonico

4. What was the Menches’ contribution to hamburger history?

A. They began to ground pork for sandwiches.

B. They used another meat and added flavors.

C. They began to use chopped pork.

D. They changed the taste of pork.

5. Where did “hamburger” get its name from?

A. A man

B. A fair

C. A place

D. The Germans

At present, most of our electricity comes from the use of coal and gas,
oid or nuclear power. This power could be provided by the Sun. One percent of
the solar energy that reaches the Earth is enough to provide power for the total
population.
Many countries are already using solar energy. Solar panels are placed
on the roofs of a house and the Sun's energy is used to heat water. The energy
can be stored for a number of days, so on cloudy days you can use solar energy,
too.
Sweden has an advanced solar energy program. There, all buildings will
be heated by solar energy and cars will use solar power instead of gas by the
year 2015.
Questions:
1. Is solar energy an efficient source of power?
2. Where are the solar panels placed?
3. How long can the solar energy be stored?
4. When will cars use solar power instead of gas in Sweden?
5. Is the solar energy used in Vietnam now?
