問題詳情
IV. Reading Comprehension A.It would be hard to find a person in America who has never eaten a hamburger, but this popular food was not originallymade in America. The original hamburger can be traced back to the Middle Ages, when Russians ate raw meat that wasscraped and shredded with a dull knife and formed into patties. It was called Tartar steak. This was the first step in a longseries of developments that eventually resulted in hamburger as we know it today. German sailors picked up the raw meat delicacy in their contacts with Russians and brought it back to their home portof Hamburg. But the people there were unused to eating raw meat, so they broiled the outside of the Russian steak; thus thehamburg steak was born. The hamburg steak was brought to America in the nineteenth century by German immigrants. Louis Lassen, a cook inNew Haven, Connecticut, modified the hamburg steak by sandwiching it between two pieces of bread. But the trueAmerican hamburger came into existence in St. Louis at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904. A harried cook at thefair quickly slapped broiled beef patties between buns and served them to a demanding crowd, which gulped them downjoyously. At first this new food creation was made from scraps of poorer cuts of meat that were not used for anything else, butbefore long, scraps were not enough. The demand for greater quantities of hamburger could only be met by using more andbetter cuts. Hamburger stands sprang up all over the country, and a side industry of condiments, such as ketchup and relish,grew up and prospered along with the popular hamburger.
