15.Teddy Bears have been a very popular children's toy for many years.Most adults can remember their first stuffed bear,and over the decades these toys have become nearly a symbol of their childhood.However,children are not the only ones with whom these toys have become popular,as many adults make it a habit to collect these toys as well.
The Teddy Bear first became popular during the early 20th century and was associated with then President Theodore Roosevelt.The story can date back to a hunting trip that president Roosevelt had taken where he was invited to be the one to shoot a black bear that had been tied to a tree.Being a crazy outdoors lover and hunter,Roosevelt refused to kill the animal because he believed that shooting the helpless bear was unsportsmanlike and wrong.This story quickly spread through newspapers across the country,and in the end inspired the introduction of a stuffed toy (填充玩具) called"Teddy's bear".
These toys became popular soon after first introduced,and within ten years,they were being produced by dozens of companies around the world.Within a generation,these stuffed bears were"the"toy to have,and have always been within children's toy boxes ever since.
They are most often mass-produced in factories in order to keep up with the high demand. However,there are still companies that take great pride in their handmade designs; and while handmade teddy bears are often preferred,they are also generally more expensive than their mass-produced ones.
Today,these bears and other similar toys generate well over a billion dollars a year in profits for the companies that make them.Walk through just about any toy store in America and you will find dozens of different teddy bears lining the shelves.
