A maths teacher had been teaching his class about fractions for the past week, and now he wanted to find out how much they were able to remember, so he asked one of the boys in the class, “If I cut a piece of meat into two pieces, what would I get?”

　　“Halves,” answered the student at once.

　　“Good,” said the teacher. “And if I cut each piece in half again?”

　　“Fourths,” answered the next student.

　　“And if I cut it again, George?” the teacher went on.

　　“Eighths,” answered George.

　　“Yes,” said the teacher, nodding to the next boy.“And again?”

　　“Sixteenths, sir” was the answer.

　　“Good,” said the teacher.“And once more, Anna?”

　　“Thirty-seconds,” answered Anna after thinking for a few seconds.

　　“Yes, that's right. And again?” the teacher continued.

　　“Hamburger meat,” answered the last student, who thought that all of these questions were becoming a little silly.

(2) After the second cut, we get“eighths”.

　　Ann likes fish and chips. What is your favourite meal at home? Have you eaten from another country? Here is some information about some kinds of foods you might eat.

　　Dumplings are eaten in different ways around the world. Chinese jaozi, Italian ravioli(菜卷) Jewish kreplach (犹太人的方形肉包) and Polish pierogi(馅饼) are kinds of dumplings filled with meat, cheese or vegetables.

　　Pizza, an international favourite came from the city of Naples, Italy about 700 years ago. Pizza is the Italian word for pie, so you don't need to say pizza pie.

　　Hamburger was first called Hamburg steak. Later, people just called them hamburgers. The hamburger was named after the city of Hamburg, Germany.

　　Frankfurters were named after the city of Frankfurt, Germany. About 1900, an American selling cooked frankfurters called them hot dogs because they looked like a kind of small dog.

　　Ice-cream cones were first sold at the World's Fair (博览会) in St. Louis Missouri, in the USA, in 1904. A scoop (圆勺) of ice cream was put into a cone(圆锥形之物). You eat the ice cream, then you eat the cone-nothing left to throw away.

　　Sandwiches were named after the Earl of Sandwich, a rich man in England in the 1705. While he was playing cards, he asked a servant(佣人) to bring him two piece of bread with a piece of meat between them. This was the first sandwich.
