【題目】Most people realize that fast food isn't the healthiest or besttasting cuisine(菜肴). It is, however, expected to be fast.

Many chains like McDonald's have struggled with slower food delivery in recent years, because there are more items on the menu. But the world's largest restaurant chain, which serves 68 million customers daily in 119 countries, is trying to change that.

For several months, McDonald's has been testing what's called the “justforyou experience”. In 200 U S restaurants (and more than 2，000 across the globe), customers are able to order directly from a selfserve kiosk(售貨亭), after which an employee brings the meal directly to the table.

McDonald's chief executive Steve Easterbrook, speaking at a McDonald's in New York's Tribeca neighbourhood on Thursday, said the company has long expected customers to adapt to its business model of ordering at the counter and then waiting to collect their own food. Now, he said, “We're adapting our business around customers.”

It showed that “test runs at more than 500 restaurants…showed an increase in foot traffic and contributed to a midsingledigit percentage increase in restaurant sales, lifting the 5 to 6 average check by 1, on average.” Customer satisfaction scores also increased, “because families, in particular, appreciate having their food brought to them.”The company also announced the beginning of a new mobile orderandpay app, which would allow customers to order and pay for food from their smart phones.

Mike, a common customer, said, “As a father of two small children, I'm every fastfood chain's target customer. My wife and I try to avoid McDonald's when possible, but like many parents we end up going. I've used the selfserve kiosks and like them a lot: they're easy to use, reduce the pressure of making a choice with impatient customers behind you, and make a big difference in delivery time. I just hope they don't start expecting me to tip.”

【1】Why do many chains have a slower food delivery in the past several years?

A. Because they have struggled many expectations.

B. Because they have more dishes to serve people.

C. Because they have the world's largest restaurant chains.

D. Because sometimes they have too many customers.

【2】How do customers get their food after ordering food selfserve kiosks?

A. By testing McDonald's machine.

B. By taking food by themselves.

C. By letting waiters bring food for them.

D. By letting employees serve for them.

【3】What's the result of trying “justforyou experience”？

A. It is a great success.

B. It caused traffic jam.

C. It's well received only by app users.

D. It still needs to be observed.

【4】What can we infer from what Mike said?

A. His family don't like McDonald's.

B. He's willing to give tips for good service.

C. Selfserve kiosks are a good choice.

D. It's hard for him to spend the delivery time.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】A

【4】C

【解析】本文是一篇說明文，講述了世界快餐巨頭之一的麥當勞正在嘗試對自己的服務方式進行大的改革。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。文章第二段第一句的“…because there are more items on the menu.”說明B項正確。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段的“…after which an employee brings the meal directly to the table.”可知服務員把顧客訂的食物送到桌子上，因此C項正確。

【3】推理判斷題。文章第五段通過一系列數(shù)據(jù)說明這種新的嘗試非常成功。故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。文章最后一段的“I've used the selfserve kiosks and like them a lot: they're easy to use…”說明Mike認為selfserve kiosks是一個不錯的選擇。故選C。

Dear David,
Sorry to learn that you've put on weight. Eat too much food in McDonald's and KFC must be the reason, I guess.
You have to realize that food is not always as healthy as was said in the advertisements. If you know much about them, we will find fried chicken and French fries are rich in fat, sugar and salt. They can make you to gain weight and become sick.
That you ought to have every day are noodles, rice, fruit and vegetables rather than the junk food. Energy-giving food, body-building food and protective food makes up a balanced diet. In word, you must have an idea of how a healthy diet should be and stick to it.
I hope my advices can help you improve your health.
Yours,
Li Ming

Four simple ways to stay positive
Trying to stay positive, both in good times and bad, is a great way to improve your quality of life. Try these four methods on a daily basis.
1）. Don't think a lot about negativity.
Of course. Staying positive 24 hours a day, seven days a week is a bit difficult. Letting things get to you is normal, and it's actually healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while.
It's when those negative moments control your life that your emotional balance is at risk. However, don't give that sadness another second in your day.
2）.
What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside. Fill yourself with good, healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and limit snacking. Exercise is equally of great importance. Take a few days out of your week for at least half an hour of activity, and try to stick to it.
3）. Be kind to others.
Making someone's day a bit brighter not only puts a smile on his or her face, but also yours as well. Remember to smile and treat each person with pity and respect. Good deeds are contagious（傳染的）, and your positive attitude may spread among others.
4）. Take it one day at a time.
Being positive isn't an instant thing. It's a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day. Instead, focus on living at the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better.
A.Eat healthy and stay fit.
B.Take your lunch breaks outside.
C.Don't worry about what the future may bring.
D.Gratefulness helps you appreciate life in bad times.
E.Good feelings come from acts of kindness and selflessness.
F.Take a few minutes to feel sad and accept what happened.
G.Even going outside for a walk and enjoying the sunshine improves your mood.
