In 1955, a man named Raymond Kroc together with two brothers named McDonald open

题文

In 1955, a man named Raymond Kroc together with two brothers named McDonald opened a popular restaurant in California which sold food that was easy to prepare and rve quickly. Hamburgers, French fries, and cold drinks were the main food there. Kroc opened similar eating places under the same name, “McDonald’s”, and they were an instant success. He later took over the company, and today it is one of the most famous and successful “fast-food” in America and around the world. Why was his idea successful? Probably the most important reason was that his timing was right. In the 1950s, most married women stayed home to keep hou and take care of their children. In the 1960s, many women returned to the workplace. This meant that they had less time or energy to prepare meals, so they spent more on “ TV dinners ” and fast-food restaurants. Single parents also have little time to spend in the kitchen. People living alone 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 trend of the 1960s, sometimes called the back-to-nature movement influenced many people to avoid food that was packaged (包装) or procesd(处理). This preference for natural food continued to this day.From the success of Raymond Kroc’s fast-food business, we can say that social economic trends influence where and what we eat.小题1:The underlined ntence “Cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth” means that ______.A．cooking for some people is worth more moneyB．it is not worthwhile to take too much time to cook for one personC．there are more problems when one person cooksD．cooking for one person cost more money小题2:Para 3&4 em to imply (暗示) that ________.A．many married women began to work in the 1960sB．natural foods are still popular todayC．fast food is not part of the diet of all AmericansD．divorce (离婚) caus people to change their eating habits小题3:Which of the following is NOT the reason for McDonald’s success?A．people living alone tend to depend on fast foodB．single parents have little time to spend in the kitchenC．many women returned to the workplace in the 1960sD．Kroc cho the “Mc Donald” brothers as his partners小题4:The main purpo of the passage is to tell us________.A．Raymond Kroc is the most successful fast-food business owner in the worldB．social and economic changes affect eating habitsC．fast-food is easy to prepare and rve quicklyD．Americans eat either fast food or natural food 题型：未知难度：其他题型
