32、 every day. Together with 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
33、of Hamburg some time in the 1850s. From then on the hamburger became a kind of popular American fast food.

One clear difference is the one between clingstone fruit in which the flesh is stuck to the seed inside and freestone that in which the seed floats freely. Customers prefer freestone peaches
47、 because they dont want to struggle to get the flesh away from the seed. And thats how it goes in stone fruit land. Plant breeders(培育者 ) are trying all the time to improve the old favorites. Frequently, the changes are designed to meet the demands of the growers or packers. One very delicious family
48、 of peach varieties has nearly disappeared because it forms a small “beak“ at the bottom of the fruit. That little point is likely to break during packing and shipping, opening the door to spoilage(腐烂 ). This is certainly not to say that the wants of customers are not important. In fact, they drive
