The Hot Dog
In its home country of Germany, the hot dog was called the frankfurter. It was named after Frankfurt, a German city. Frankfurters were first sold in the United States in the 1860s. Americans called frankfurters "dachshund sausages". A dachshund is a dog from Germany with a very long body and short legs. "Dachshund sausage" seemed like a good name for the frankfurter. Dachshund sausages first became popular in New York, especially at baseball games. At games they were sold by men who kept them warm in hot-water tanks. As the man walked up and down the rows of people, they yelled, "Get your dachshund sausages! Get your hot dachshund sausages!" People got the sausages on buns, special bread. One day in 1906 a newspaper cartoonist named Tad Dorgan went to a baseball game. When he saw the men with the dachshund sausages, he got an idea for a cartoon. The next day at the newspaper office he drew a bun with a dachshund inside - not a dachshund sausage, but a dachshund. Dorgan didn't know how to spell dachshund. Under the cartoon, he wrote "Get your hot dogs!" The cartoon was a sensation, and so was the new name. If you go to a baseball game today, you can still see sellers walking around with hot-water tanks. As they walk up and down the rows they yell, "Get your hot dogs here! Get your hot dogs!" Робота над текстом за профілем спрямування: Periodic Law Periodic law is a statement of a periodic recurrence of chemical and physical properties of the elements when the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. The atomic number is the number of positive charges, or p_otons, contained in the atomic nucle_s or, equ_valently, the number of negative charges, or ele_trons, outside the nucleus in a ne_tral atom. Such an arrangement in the form of a table in which the groupings of elements having simil_r properties are easily identify_ed is called the periodic system or the periodic table. The periodic law can be explained on the ______of the electronic structure of the atom, which is believed to be the main_______ underlying the chemical________ and many of the______ properties of the elements. In turn, the electronic structures of _____ have been successfully accounted for by the quantum theory. D.I. Mendeleyev was the ______ to state the periodic law _______its present form. D.I. Mendeleyev (will propose, proposed) in 1869 that the properties of elements are periodic functions of the atomic weight and (grouped, is grouped) the elements accordingly in a periodic system. Before the work of Mendeleyev, however, a number of chemists had noticed certain relationships between the properties of elements and (its, their) atomic weight. In 1829 J.W. Dobereiner (states, stated) that there existed some three-element groups, or triads, in which the atomic weight of the middle element (was, were) the average of the other two and the properties of this element lay between those of the other two. For example, calcium, strontium, and barium (is forming, form) a triad.
