Do you love hamburgers? Do you how they were created?

The first hamburgers in U.S. history were served in New Haven, Connecticut, at Louis¡¯ Lunch sandwich shop in 1895. Louis Lassen, founder of Louis¡¯ Lunch, ran a small lunch wagon selling steak sandwiches to local factory workers. Because he didn¡¯t like to waste the excess beef from his daily lunch rush, he ground it up, grilled it, and served it between two slice of bread¡ªand thus America¡¯s first hamburger was created.

The small Crown Street restaurant is still owned and operated by the third and fourth generations of the Lassen family. Hamburgers are still the specialty of the house, where steak is ground fresh each day and hand molded, slow cooked, broiled vertically, and served between two slices of toast with your choice of only three ¡°acceptable¡± garnishes: cheese, tomato, and onion.

Want ketchup or mustard? Forget it. You will be told ¡°no¡± in no uncertain terms. This is the home of the greatest hamburger in the world, claim the owners, who are perhaps best known for allowing their customers to have a burger the Lassen way or not at all.

Hello. I¡¯m Jan from Mrs. Lake¡¯s class. My class wants to work together to help the public. We think we have found a great way to do this. Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town. We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Program. This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads. We think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt a highway.

Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet. When a highway is adopted, only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people. The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean. Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it. The sign is put up at the side of the road. This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean.

The Adopt-a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer. Also, the government does not have to send out as many road workers. This saves money. Finally, people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people, especially teenagers like us, cleaning them up.

We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway. If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean£¬please come with your parents to the meeting next week. We will meet in Mrs. Lake¡¯ room on Wednesday at 6:00 P.M. At the meeting, we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts. Then we' ll try to pick an area to adopt and clean.

I look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Remember to keep our roads clean!

Can't sleep? You turn all night never seeming to get comfortable, never seeming to feel like you are even close to sleep? I bet you've tried a few different solutions too, warm milk or maybe even sleeping pills. The reason why you can't sleep could be because of many different things. 1. However, if you want simple solutions to sleep better then the following steps can help you get that great night's sleep:

1. Sleep on your side.

Sleeping on your side is an acquired taste if all you have been doing is stomach sleeping. The side position is best for your neck and for improving breathing which is a common cause for frequently waking. 2.

2. Find the right pillow.

Finding the right pillow is vitally important. 3. In the side sleeping position the pillow should fill the entire space between your neck and the mattress(´²µæ).Your head should not be tipped up or down but be in line with your spine£¨¼¹×µ£©£®

3. No digital entertainment before bed.

Avoid any forms of digital entertainment at least one hour prior to bed. Digital entertainment means movies, TV, Xbox, computer/laptop use, even a kindle. 4. Trying reading a few pages of non-fiction instead.

4. 5.

When you eat and got to bed shortly after what happens is that your stomach is still full of food. This prevents you from breathing properly and can lead to a very disturbed sleep.

A. Having a sound sleep is my dream.

B. Wait three hours after eating.

C. There are five steps to have better sleep.

D. Stay away from all forms.

E. Always get a check from a health care provider if you have specific concerns.

F. The best pillows are formed to support the neck.

G. Try placing a pillow between your knees in order to prevent rolling onto your stomach.

I was 16 when my father finally decided he would send me to wilderness camp for several months. He had threatened to do it many times before, but my mother had always managed to prevent him from doing so. This time he insisted on doing it.

The latest incident was the last straw. Impulsively(³å¶¯µØ), I had pushed Mr. Ford, my math teacher, down a flight of steps at school. He broke his arm in two places. Anyway, he had agreed not to accuse me as a favor to my dad, who was in the middle of a tight race for sheriff(Ö´·¨¹Ù) in our town. But my reckless behavior had my dad¡¯s closest advisor talking.

¡°John, he¡¯s your son and he¡¯s a kid, but he is dragging you down,¡± I heard Jake Hutch tell my dad through his closed office door the night after I pushed Mr. Ford. ¡°If you can¡¯t make your son obey the rules, how can you make the law obeyed in this town?¡±

So, off to Pisgah National Forest I went. I imagined hours of untold abuse at the hands of some strong sergeants(¾üÊ¿). I was determined no to be broken. I was who I was.

Nearly every day for six months, a small group of other troubled teens and I carried our 30-pound backpacks on a difficult journey covering about 10 miles. We hiked in a rough wilderness that seemed untouched by civilization.

Our sergeants were firm but kind, not frightening as I had imagined. We learned how to make a fire without matches and create a shelter with branches and grass. We learned which plants were safe to eat out in the wild. I felt myself change. I was calm and often reflective. My old, impulsive self was gone.

One morning, six months later, my dad came to pick me up. I ran to hug him and saw relief and love in his eyes.

¡°So what¡¯s it like being sheriff?¡± I asked on the ride home.

¡°I lost the race, Danny,¡± he said.

¡°I¡¯m sorry, Dad.¡± I knew my behavior probably had a lot to do with the defeat.

Dad squeezed my shoulder and brought me close. ¡°As long as I don¡¯t ever lose you, I¡¯m okay.¡±

It was the first day of kindergarten. I walked in with my mom and was at all the toys against the walls. I ran over to them and started to play. Most of the other were doing the same. In the corner, though, I saw one girl sitting . She was small and weak, the only one in the class than me. Her red eyes she had been crying. None of the other kids seemed to notice her.

I was playing with the toy cars. When I , I saw her sad and lonely eyes. Suddenly I felt something inside my heart . I wasn¡¯t sure what it was. Being the youngest in my family I had become spoiled. My elder brothers always did while I was free to play. However, that day it was that I should think of someone other than myself. Finally, I two toy cars and went over to her. ¡°Do you want to play?¡± I asked . She smiled at me and her head yes.

What made me remember that first act was a letter that little girl wrote to me after we both . She told me how her illness made other kids her and how my act had changed her . She cherished(Õäϧ) the friendship I had . From then on we continued our friendship through the mail for several years the bad health finally took her life.

Today I still think of her and thank her for stirring something in my selfish that day. I ask myself how a bit of can move a heart, touch a soul, and change a life.

What is known to all ,some parents would rather their children rent houses outside the school instead of living in a dorm. There are advantage for both. Living in a dorm must strengthen relationship or cooperation between classmates. A dorm is more like a society, which enables students learn to adapt to each other, thus makes them prepared for the social life later. However, some students find that more convenient for them to live outside the school on their own than living in a dorm. And it¡¯s better for their studies as they won¡¯t be interrupted by other. As a consequence, they can devote a plenty of time to studying. But it is impossible that they will meet some safety problems when living outside the school.

DEAR AMY: We recently had to put our cat down. It came out of the blue. We had no idea that he had health problems, and we woke up early one morning to the cat crying out painfully. We immediately rushed him to the vet¡¯s where the vet said that at best treatment might lengthen his life by two to three months. We did not want to see him suffer, so we chose to kill the cat in a painless way.

I am having a rough time! I cry when I am alone. I cry when I see pet commercials on television. I put away everything that reminds me of the cat. But the last sight of seeing the cat in pain plays over and over in my head. My kids seem alright with what has happened, but why am I struggling?

It has only been one week since his passing, so I hope things will get better. Do you have any suggestions?

Yours,

Sad

DEAR SAD: There is no loss quite like the loss of a pet; these animals keep us company through important life passages and are beloved witnesses to our human lives.

I understand your instinct to put away all of your cat¡¯s things, but it may help you now to memorialize your pet by using these things. Each family member can write down favorite things about him or memories of him; read their memories aloud and put the papers inside his bowl. The idea is to replace those painful last memories with much more lively memories taking place over the most of the animal¡¯s life.

Time will then do its job, which is to affect your feelings. And then, when you¡¯re ready, I hope you will adopt another animal and give it the opportunity to share your life.

Yours,

Amy
