41、e commonly used for many years. Others are popular for just a short time. One such American expression is “Where' s the beef ?” It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be. In the early 1980s, “Where' s the beef ?” was one of the most popular expression in the United States.

42、 It seemed as if everyone was using it all the time.Beef , of course , is the meat from a cow, and probably no food is more popular in America than the hamburger made from it. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray Kroc began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price. Kroc called

50、e good to eatDEvery year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for “sport”. Progress in this direction is slow because shooting is not a sport for watching, and only those few who take part realize the cruelty and destruction.The number of gunners , however, grows rapidly. Children

51、 too young to develop proper judgments through independent thought are led a long way away by their gunning parents.

The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people.Now , it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life

The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of dying can make nobody happy. If , as the
