In 1955, a man named Raymond Kroc entered a partnership with two brothers named Mcdonald. They operated a popular restaurant in California which sold food that was easy to prepare and serve quickly. Hamburgers, French fries, and cold drinks were the main foods on the limited menu. Kroc opened similar eating places under the same name, “McDonald’s” and they were a quick success. He later took over the company and today it is one of the most famous and successful “fast-food” chains(连锁店) in America and the world.
Why was his idea so successful? Probably the most important reason was that his timing was right. In the 1950s, most married women stayed home to keep house and take care of their children. During the 1960s, the movement for equality(平等) between men and women and an economy(经济) that needed more families to have two money-earners resulted in many women returning to the workplace. This meant that they had less time and energy to do housework, so they depended more on fast-food restaurants.
Single parents also have little time to spend in the kitchen. People living alone because of divorce(离婚) or a preference for a “single lifestyle” also depend on this type of food, since cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth.
Fast food is not part of the diet of all Americans. Another of the 1960s was called back-to-nature movement. More and more Americans based their diets on natural foods. This preference for natural foods continues to this day. These products can now be found not only in the special health food store but also in many supermarkets.
小题1:The passage is mainly about ____.| A．how and why “McDonald’s” became successful | | B．the effect social and economic changes have on people’s eating habits | | C．why Americans prefer natural food | | D．American eating habits |
小题2:Which of the following was NOT a reason for Raymond Kroc’s success?| A．His partnership with the McDonald brothers. | | B．A changing economy. | | C．The back-to-nature movement. | | D．Women’s equality movement. |
小题3:We can infer from the passage that ____.| A．natural foods can also be found in McDonald’s | | B．many married women in America returned to work in the 1960s | | C．McDonald’s fast food is popular among the young | | D．divorce caused people to change their eating habits |

It is easy to find your way about in New York. It is laid out so regularly. Instead of streets winding and twisting (迂回) as they do in London, they are all regular and well planned. The streets running north and south are called “avenues” and are numbered, e.g. 1st Avenue, 2nd Avenue, etc. The streets going east and west are called “streets” and are also numbered, e.g. 51st Street, 63rd Street. It is all much more logical (合理的) than London’s street names. But I couldn’t help thinking how much more interesting than these dull cold numbers are London’s illogical but colorful names of streets, e.g. “Bishopgate” (which is not a gate and hasn’t a Bishop in it); “Haymarket” or “Corn market” (where you won’t see any hey or corn) or “Poultry” (without a living chicken anywhere in sight) or “Thread needle Street” (where you won’t find little girls learning to sew).
小题1:In the second sentence of the passage, “laid out” means ______.| A．built | B．be put | C．designed | D．cut down |
小题2:The streets running from north to south are called _______.| A．avenues in London | B．streets in America | | C．avenues in New York | D．streets in London |
小题3:According to the writer’s opinion, ______.| A．avenues and streets are the same | | B．streets in America are better than avenues in England | | C．streets in New York are better than those in London | | D．the writer didn’t agree with the London streets planners |
小题4:The names of streets both in London and New York ______.| A．are quite good | B．are interesting | | C．are not practical | D．differ greatly in form |
小题5:The writer tells his readers that he prefers (更喜欢) _____.| A．London streets | B．New York streets | | C．both | D．neither |
