The German port of Hamburg has been offered MYM 15, 500 to change its name to "Veggieburg" by animal rights activists who are unhappy about the city’s association with hamburgers. " Hamburg could improve animal welfare and bring kindness to animals by changing its name to Veggieburg", the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals(PETA)wrote in a letter sent to Hamburg Mayor Ole von Beust. The German branch of PETA, which has 750,000 members worldwide, said the organization would give Hamburg’s childcare facilities 10,000 euro’s worth of vegetarian burgers if the city changed its name. But city officials in Hamburg, Germany’s second largest city which traces its roots to the ninth century, were unmoved. " I cannot afford to waste my time with this. I don’t even want to look at nonsense like this," said Klaus May, a city government spokesman. "But that doesn’t mean we Hamburgers don’t have a sense of humor. " In its letter, PETA said the name Hamburg reminded people of "unhealthy beef patties made of dead cattle". "Millions of people fall ill each year with deadly illnesses like heart disease, cancer, strokes and diabetes from eating hamburgers," PETA said in the letter.
The original "hamburger steak" , a dish made of ground beef, traveled west with Germans to the United States in the 19th century. The first mention of "hamburgers" appeared on a menu in a New York restaurant in 1834. Some historians trace its beginning to a beef sandwich once popular with sailors in Hamburg. The city’s name "Hamburg" comes from the old Saxon words "ham"(bay)and "burg"(castle). PETA recently made a similar offer to the U. S. town of Hamburg, New York. But their MYM 15,000 bid was refused.
Why did PETA suggest changing the name "Hamburg"?
选项
A、Because the name reminded people of a food made of animal meat.
B、Because changing the name can prevent people from eating hamburgers.
C、Because it can bring children much food to change the name.
D、Because hamburgers cause so many diseases every year.
答案
A
解析
细节题。由第一段“The German port of Hamburg has been offered MYM 15,000to change its name to‘Veggieburg’by animal rights activists who are unhappyabout the city’s association with hamburgers.”可知:德国城市汉堡因为与食物汉堡包名字相似,很容易让人联想到汉堡,所以建议其更名。故答案为A。
