Where is the true home of the hamburger?
The kind of beef we see in hamburgers，minced(切碎的)beef，was possibly invented by Mongolians over 800 years ago.But who first put the beef in between pieces of bread and called it a hamburger? Three different cities in the United States all say that they were the first to invent America's favorite food.
Some people say that Fletcher Davis，from Athens，invented hamburgers.“Old Dave”，as people called him，was selling minced beef sandwiches in his lunch bar as early as the 1880s.Some years later，they say that a group of Germans called ①his sandwich a “hamburger” because people from the German city of Hamburg ate this kind of beef.
Other people believe that the hamburger came from a different American city.②Coincidentally，its name was also Hamburg.The Menches brothers were selling pork sandwiches at a fair in 1885，but when there was no more pork，they used minced beef and gave it a new name，the “hamburger”．
The third possible inventor of the hamburger was Charlie Nagreen，also known as “Hamburger Charlie”，from Seymour.He said that in 1885 he invented the world's first hamburgers.Seymour now celebrates the invention of the hamburger every year.In 1989，it was the home of the world's largest ever burger—over 2，500 kg!

The biggest secret about inventing is that anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds crazy，but it's true.Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing，so read on to discover the truth.
★Wrong idea No 1：An invention has to be something completely new.
Inventing means creating something “new”，but the idea could come from something that already exists(存在)．The Wright Brothers，for example，got the idea for building a “flying machine” from watching birds.
★Wrong idea No.2：Inventors are born，not made.
There are a lot of factors(因素) that make invention possible.Take Mozart for an example.He was born with a talent for musical composition.But other factors were also important for his creativity.His father was a music teacher，and Mozart practised for hours every day，from the time he was four years old.Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was “99% hard work and 1% inspiration”！
Very successful creators don't give up when they get something wrong.As one inventor said，“A failure was the right answer to the wrong question.”
★Wrong idea No.3：Inventors are always old people.
Don't believe that you can't invent something when you are young.Here are two examples of young inventors：Louis Braille went blind when he was a child.When he was fifteen，he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today.
As a young man，George Nissen was watching some artists performing in a show.He watched how they fell into the safety net and then jumped back up again. This gave him an idea，and he invented the trampoline.

To us，it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains.But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain.Its first use was as a shade(遮蔽) against the sun.
Nobody knows who first invented it，but the umbrella was used in very ancient times.Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the 11th century BC.
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade.And there was a strange thing connected with its use：it became a symbol of honor and power.In the Far East in ancient times，the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.
In Europe，the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece，but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the middle ages in Europe，the use of the umbrella almost disappeared.Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century.And again it became a symbol of power.
Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time，though they have become much lighter in weight.It wasn't until the twentieth century the umbrellas for women began to be made，in all kinds of colours.
