听力原文: All right! Enough cookies, cola and chips. It seems that junk food is all that the children want to eat these days. Television controls their tastes. The kids see well-known personalities eating potato chips, candy and other processed food and they want to be like their heroes. How do they do it? They eat the same food. I wish there were more characters like Old Popeye, the sailor, who ate spinach but not French fries.
Just because I like brown rice, beans and fresh vegetables, I don't expect my children to eat this health food. I'm glad to cook traditional meals of meat and potatoes for them. I really can't be too upset with the kids because most adults aren't careful about what they eat. The other night, my wife and I went to a party where there was plenty of drink but very little for us to eat. They served hot dogs and hamburgers. I can't eat hot dogs, with all those preservatives and hamburgers are filled with chemicals so that they look good. Besides the meat, they had sugar-filled cookies and cake and of course chips. Terrible, I don't want the world to change because of me, but I think that people should realize that there are alternatives to eating meat. They always tell me that I probably don't get my essential proteins. But I feel better than ever and I'm sure that it's because I am vegetarian. I would really like to see more television advertisements which show the benefits of good, healthy, natural food.

America's Favorite Foods
You may have heard that Americans like hot dogs and hamburgers best of all foods. Well, farmers and owners of public eating places might happily agree. So might the nation's Meat Institute and the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council. But people whose favorites are pizza and apple pie would give the meat-lovers a spirited argument!
Naming the favorite foods of Americans depends a lot on whom you ask. But one thing is sure. The ancestors of most Americans came from other countries. The United States owes many favorite dishes, or the ideas for these foods, to the rest of the world. Hot Dog
That traditional American favorite, the hot dog, had its modem beginning in Germany. The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council estimates that Americans eat about seven thousand million of these sausages during a summer.
A hot dog is usually made from pork, the meat of a pig. Or it is made from beef, the meat of a cow. Another version is made from turkey. A vegetarian version of a hot dog has no meat at all. It often contains tofu(豆腐), made from soy plants.
The hot dog is shaped like a tube. Many people say it looks like a kind of dog. It is served between two shaped pieces of bread. Americans often say they especially like hot dogs cooked over a hot fire in the open air. People at sports events buy plenty of hot dogs.
For many people, it is not just the meat that tastes so good. These people enjoy colorful and tasty additions. For example, they include a yellow or yellow-brown thickened liquid called mustard. They may also put red catsup(酱)and pieces of a white or red, strong-smelling vegetable called onion on their hot dogs.
Hot dog eaters often add pickle, a salty green vegetable. Some people place barbecue sauce on top of all this. Or they use a spice called horseradish(山葵). It gives the hot dog a pleasant bite.
A hot dog is also known as a frankfurter or frank. That is because the city of Frankfurt am Main, Germany is often said to be the birthplace of this sausage. But the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council says there are other ideas about where the hot dog began.
One version of hot dog history says a butcher, or meat cutter, from the German city of Coburg was responsible. It says he invented the hot dog in the late 160Os. Vienna, Austria, also claims that it created the food.
The council says butchers from several countries probably brought common European sausages to America. A street salesman sold hot dogs to people in New York City in the 1860s. And, in 1871, a hot dog stand opened at the Coney Island amusement park in New York City.
Hamburger and Fries
Americans also eat lots of hamburgers. This ground meat comes from beef. It can be cooked in many ways. Like hot dogs, hamburgers are a favorite picnic food.
Many public eating places in the United States say hamburgers are their most popular foods. People often eat them in places that serve quickly prepared, moderately priced food.
Like hot dog experts, hamburger historians disagree about how their subject got started. The Egyptians and Romans apparently ate ancient versions of hamburgers. In more modem days, people in Hamburg, Germany, made something like a hamburger from pork and beef.
The small town of Seymour, Wisconsin, is among several American towns that claim to have created the first modem hamburger in the United States.
In Seymour, a man named Charlie Nagreen tried to sell meatballs at a local fair in 1885. But as people walked around, it was hard for them to handle the round pieces of meat. So Nagreen flattened the ball of meat. Then he placed this meat pie between two pieces of bread.
In 2001, people in Seymour cooked a hamburger that weighed more than 3,000 kilograms. This creation reportedly fed 13,000 pe
