A Supermarket Changed the WorldPicking up a basket while shopping may seem natural now, but the idea was once groundbreaking. And that was not the only thing that changed when Piggly Wiggly, the first modern American supermarket, opened more than 100 years ago.Clarence Saunders opened the first Piggly Wiggly on Sept. 11, 1916 in Memphis. He launched a self-service model that was vastly different from the way things had long been done. At an old-style grocery (杂货店), customers would pass a grocery list to a clerk, who would then put items together for shoppers in one bag. At Piggly Wiggly, on the other hand, the shoppers did their own choosing. In addition to launching the self-service model, Piggly Wiggly introduced shopping baskets, price-marked items and employees in uniform.Other supermarkets popped up. Supermarket success continued during World WarⅡ, when thousands of small grocery stores had to close as their employees went off to war. After the war, the popularity of refrigerators and private cars for nearly every family kept feeding the model. And it became necessary for supermarkets to provide free parking.Throughout the 1950s, the supermarket proved itself an American phenomenon. It was such a wonder that in 1957, during a visit to the US, Queen Elizabeth visited a Maryland supermarket to see what it was all about.While the history of supermarkets is clear, one thing is not: How Piggly Wiggly got its name. The origin remains a mystery, but when Clarence Saunders was once asked why he picked the name, he simply responded: "So people will ask that very question."6.Almost every American family owned refrigerators after World War II.

The Pizza(披萨)ManIt's easy to be attracted by the hundreds of bright notes on the walls of Rosa's Fresh Pizza, especially when you start reading them. "You're worthy of more than a slice," an orange one says. "Make pizza, not war," adds a yellow. A sheet of white paper stands out: "I just want to thank everyone that donated (捐献) to Rosa's. It gave me a place to eat every day and the opportunity to get back on my feet. I start a new job tomorrow!"The message wall at Rosa's started a few months after Mason Wartman opened the pizza restaurant in December 2013. A customer read that the restaurant served a lot of homeless people, and he asked if he could buy an extra slice for the next one who came in. Wartman took his dollar, wrote a note as a reminder and stuck it on the wall.Other customers followed suit. And within a week, two dozen notes were hanging up. When the number hit 500, Wartman started keeping track of the slices at the cash machine. But the wall had already taken on a life of its own. Today, it's a shared board where people post notes of thanks given and received.Wartman estimates that Rosa's has given out more than 18,000 free slices in just over a year. Homeless customers offer to sweep up and take out the garbage to thank him. He has hired three employees through shelters. They're hard workers looking for a chance, and that's who he wants here.11.A standout note on the walls of Rosa's Fresh Pizza shows________.
