問題詳情
(B)There are many different kinds of stuffed animals. Possibly the most popularstuffed animal is the stuffed toy bear nicknamed the “teddy bear”. Have you everwondered how these cute little bears got their name? It’s an interesting story! In 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt was on a hunting trip in Mississippi.One of the other hunters had chased a bear up a tree. He told the President to shoot it.President Roosevelt, who was known as a sportsman, refused to shoot the bear. Hesaid it was “unsportsmanlike”. A newspaper made a cartoon about PresidentRoosevelt’s refusal. According to popular legend, a shopkeeper saw the cartoon, andasked the President’s permission to make stuffed bears called “Teddy’s bears”.“Teddy” was a nickname for Theodore, and although the President disliked thenickname, many people called him that. Whether the President approved the bearsnamed after him (or if he was even asked) is not certain. What is certain is that teddybears have been a popular and beloved toy for at least a hundred years. Teddy bearscan be found in almost every toy store. They can also be found in museums, in artshows, in collector’s trade shows, and many other places. They show no signs ofleaving the hearts of children (or collectors!) any time soon.
