1、was no longer popular. He smiled as he welcomed some customers warmly at the door but the smile left his face when he saw Yong Hui walking in. She did not look happy but glared at him. “May I ask what you were doing in my restaurant the other day? I thought you were a new customer and now I know tha
2、t you only came only to spy on me and my menu,” she shouted. “Please excuse me,” he calmly explained,“I wanted to know where all my customers had gone last week. I followed one of them and found them in your restaurant. I dont want to upset you, but I found your menu so limited that I stopped worryi
3、ng and started advertising the benefits of my food. Why dont you sit down and try a meal?” Yong Hui agreed to stay and soon they were both enjoying the dumplings and breast of chicken cooked with garlic. When they were served the ice cream, Yong Hui began to look ill. “I feel sick with all this fat
4、and heavy food,”she said,“I miss my vegetables and fruit.”Wang Peng was enjoying a second plate of dumplings so he sighed.“Yes,”he added,“and I would miss my dumplings and fatty pork. Dont you get tired quickly?” “Well, I do have to rest a lot, ”admitted Yong Hui. “But dont you think it would be bet
5、ter if you were a bit thinner? Im sure you would feel much healthier.” They began to talk about menus and balanced diets. “According to my research, neither your restaurant nor mine offers a balanced diet,”explained Wang Peng.“I dont offer enough fibre and you dont offer enough bodybuilding and ener
6、gygiving foods. Perhaps we ought to combine our ideas and provide a balanced menu with foods full of energy and fibre. ”So that is what they did.They served raw vegetables with the hamburgers and boiled the potatoes rather than frying them .They served fresh fruit with the ice cream. In this way the
7、y cut down the fat and increased the fibre in the meal. Their balanced diets became such a success that before long Wang Peng became slimmer and Yong Hui put on more weight. After some time the two found that their business cooperation had turned into a personal one .Finally they got married and liv
8、ed happily ever after. FOR BUILDING A MCDONALDS I was excited when I heard that our community was to have its own McDonalds restaurant. I thought about all those young people who would not have to go to the next town to buy their favourite burgers and chips. McDonalds cares about healthy eating too
9、and works with scientists to provide food that is of high quality, safe and healthy. It is also cheap .They often provide salads as well as burgers and chips. You can also choose between cola and milk shakes(奶昔). Of course it also means more work for our area that needs jobs badly. McDonalds say the
10、y are interested in doing what is right for the community and being a good neighbour. So I think they will be concerned about providing parking for the cars in our main street. Many of our young people will be only too happy to work for the company. McDonalds makes a promise to the people that work
11、for them. They say,“We value you, your growing skills and your help to the company.”I can see nothing but good if this company comes to build its restaurant in our town. AGAINST BUILDING A MCDONALDS I am very worried about McDonalds building a restaurant in our hometown. We are a small community and
12、 we enjoy our local dishes. I am not sure if McDonalds food is as healthy as they say in their advertisements. When scientists look at it carefully, they find high levels of fat, sugar and salt. This is very worrying. Too many young people are getting fat through eating too much fatty food. McDonald
13、s is not giving young people a good idea of what a healthy diet should be. Local Chinese food, on the other hand, is full of fresh vegetables and fresh meat and fish. The food at a McDonalds restaurant is always the same, so I wonder if it is made or brought in from elsewhere. Although it is freshly
14、 cooked, it must be less healthy than our own locally grown and cooked Chinese food. I also worry about all those cars bringing people to buy food at McDonalds. First, there would be petrol fumes(气体),which will make our clean air dirty. Second, theres the problem of all those cars that try to park a
15、nd prevent other cars from moving quickly through our town. Im sure many young people would be happy to work for McDonalds but will they be treated fairly？In American, McDonalds does not allow workers unions to operate in its restaurants and these are people who speak up for the workers. If, as they
16、 say, the workers are happy with them ,why should they fear some workers joining a union? So when I consider the food, the cars and the jobs, I think we should not allow McDonalds to build their restaurant in our town. Unit 3 the million pound bank note Act I, Scene 3 Narrator: It is the summer of 1
17、903. Two old and wealthy brothers, Roderick an dOliver, have made a bet. Oliver believes that with a million pound bank note a man could survive a month in London. His brother Roderick doubts it. At this moment, they see a penniless young man wandering on the pavement outside their house. It is Henr
18、y Adams, an American businessman, who is lost in London and does not know what he should do. Roderick: Young man, would you step inside a moment, please? Henry: Who? Me, sir? Roderick: Yes, you. Oliver: Through the front door on your left. Henry: ( A servant opens a door) Thanks. Servant: Good morni
19、ng, sir. Would you please come in? Permit me to lead the way, sir. Oliver: （Henry enters）Thank you, James. That will be all. Roderick: How do you do, Mrer? Henry: Adams. Henry Adams. Oliver: Come and sit down, Mr Adams. Henry: Thank you. Roderick: You are an American? Henry: That s right, from San F
20、rancisco. Roderick: How well do you know London? Henry: Not at all, its my first trip here. Roderick: I wonder, Mr Adams, if youd mind US asking a few questions. Henry: Not at all. Go right ahead. Roderick: May we ask what youre doing in this country and what your plans are? Henry: Well, I cant say
21、that I have any plans. Im hoping to find work. As a matter of fact, I landed in Britain by accident. Oliver: How is that possible? Henry: Well, you see, back home I had my own boat. About a month ago, I was sailing out of the bay ( his eyes stare at what is left of the brothers dinner on table.) Oli
22、ver: Well, go on. Henry: Oh, yes. Well, towards nightfall I found myself carried out to sea by a strong wind. It was all my fault. It didnt know whether I could survive until morning. The next morning Id just about given myself up for lsot when I was spotted by a ship. Oliver: And it was the ship th
23、at brought you to England. Henry: Yes. The fact is that I earned my passage by working as an unpaid hand, which accounts for my appearance. I went to the American embassy to seek help, but ( The brothers smile at each other.) Roderick: Well, you mustnt worry about that. Its an advantage. Henry: Im a
24、fraid I dont quite follow you, sir. Roderick: Tell us, Mr Adams, what sort of work did you do in America. Henry: I worked for a mining comapany. Could you offer me some kine of work here? Roderick: Patience, Mr Adams. If you dont mind, may I ask you how much money you have? Henry: Well, to be honest
25、, I have none. Oliver: (happily) What luck! Brother, what luck! (claps his hands together) Henry: Well, it may seem lucky to you but not to me! On the contrary, in fact. If this is you idea of some knd of joke, I dont think its very funny. ( Henry stands up to leave) Now if youll excuse me, I think
26、Ill be on my way. Roderick: Please dont go, Mr Adams. You mustnt think we dont care about you. Oliver, give him the letter. Oliver: Yes, the letter. (gets it from a desk and gives it to Henry like a gift ) The letter. Henry: (taking it carefully) For me? Roderick: For you. (Henry starts to open it)
27、Oh, no, you mustnt open it. Not yet. You cant open it until two oclock. Henry: Oh, this is silly. Roderick: Not silly. Theres money in it (calls to the servant) James ? Henry: Oh, no. I dont want your charity. I just want an honest job. Roderick: We know youre hard-working. Thats why weve given you
28、the letter. James, show Mr Adams out. Henry: Well, why dont you explain what this is all about? Roderick: Youll soon know. (looks at the clock) In exactly an hour and a half. Servant: This way, sir. Roderick: Mr Adams, not until 2 oclock. Promise? Henry: Promise. Goodbye. Act I, Scene 4 ( Outside a
29、restaurant Henry looks at the envelope without opening it and decides to go in. He sits down at a table next to the front window.) Owner: ( seeing Henrys poor appearance) That ones reserved. This way, please.( to the waiter) Take this gentlemans order, Horace. Henry:was no longer popular. He smiled
