【正文】 to the li brary and find out. H e coul d not have Yong H ui geti ng away wi th tel li ng peopl e li es! H e had better do som e research! At the li brary Wang Peng was surpri sed to fi nd that hi s restaurant served far too much fat and Yong H ui’s far too li ttl e. Even though her custom ers m i ght get thi n after eati ng Yong H ui’s food, they were not eati ng enough energygi vi ng food to keep them fi t. They woul d bee ti red very qui ckl y. Wang Peng felt m ore hopeful as he drove back hom e. Perhaps wi th a di scount and a new si gn he coul d wi n his custom ers back! So he wrote: Want to feel fi t and energeti c? Com e and eat here! Di scounts today! O ur food gi ves you energy al l day! The peti ti on between the two restaurants was on! COME AND EAT H ERE (2) A week l ater, Wang Peng’s restaurant was nearl y ful and he fel t happi er. Perhaps he woul d be abl e to earn hi s li vi ng after al and not have to cl ose hi s restaurant. H e di d not l ook forward to bei ng i n debt because hi s restaurant was no l onger popul ar. H e sm il ed as he weled som e custom ers warml y at the door but the sm il e l eft hi s face when he saw Yong H ui wal ki ng i n. She di d not l ook happy but gl ared at hi m. “May I ask what you were doi ng i n m y restaurant the other day? I thought you were a new custom er and now I know that you only cam e only to spy on m e and my m enu, ” she shouted. “Pl ease excuse m e, ” he calml y expl ai ned,“I wanted to know where al m y custom ers had gone l ast week. I fol owed one of them and found them i n your restaurant. I don’t want to upset you, but I found your m enu so l imi ted that I stopped worryi ng and started adverti si ng the benefits of m y food. Why don’t you sit down and try a m eal ?” Yong H ui agreed to stay and son they were both enjoyi ng the dum pli ngs and breast of chi cken cooked wi th garli c. When they were served the i ce cream, Yong H ui began to l ook il l. “I feel si ck with al l thi s fat and heavy food,”she sai d, “I m i s m y vegetabl es and fruit.”Wang Peng was enjoyi ng a second pl ate of dum pli ngs so he si ghed. “Yes, ”he added, “and I woul d mi ss m y dum pl i ngs and fatty pork. Don’t you get ti red qui ckl y?” “Wel , I do have to rest a l ot, ”adm i ted Yong H ui . “But don’t you thi nk it woul d be beter i f you were a bit thi nner? I’m sure you woul d feel m uch heal thi er. ” They began to tal k about m enus and bal anced di ets. “Accordi ng to m y research, nei ther your restaurant nor m i ne offers a bal anced di et,”expl ai ned Wang Peng. “I don’t offer enough fi bre and you don’t offer enough body–bui l di ng and energy–gi vi ng foods. Perhaps we ought to bi ne our i deas and provi de a bal anced menu wi th foods ful of energy and fi bre. ”So that i s what they di d. They served raw vegetabl es wi th the ham burgers and boi l ed the potatoes rather than fryi ng them . They served fresh frui t wi th the i ce cream. In thi s way they cut down the fat and i ncreased the fi bre i n the m eal. Thei r bal anced di ets becam e such a sucess that before l ong Wang Peng became sl imm er and Yong H ui put on more wei ght. After som e ti m e the two found that their busi nes cooperati on had turned i nto a personal one . Fi nal y they got m arri ed and li ved happi l y ever after. FOR BUILDING A MCDONALD’S I was exci ted when I heard that our m uni ty was to have i ts own McDonald’s restaurant. I thought about al those young peopl e who woul d not have to go to the next town to buy thei r favouri te burgers and chips. McDonal d’s cares about heal thy eati ng too and works wi th sci enti sts to provi de food that i s of hi gh quali ty, safe and heal thy. It i s al so cheap . They often provi de sal ads as wel as burgers and chi ps. You can al so choose between col a and m il k shakes(奶昔 ). Of course i t also m eans m ore work for our area that needs jobs badly. McDonal d’s say they are i nterested i n doi ng what i s ri ght for the muni ty and bei ng a good nei ghbour. So I thi nk they wil l be concerned about provi di ng parki ng for the cars i n our mai n stret. Many of our young peopl e wil l be onl y too happy to work for the pany. McDonal d’s makes a promi se to the peopl e that work for them . They say, “We val ue you, your growi ng skil ls and your hel p to the pany. ”I can see nothi ng but good i f this pany es to buil d i ts restaurant i n our town. AGAINST BUILDING A MCDONALD’S I am very worri ed about McDonal d’s bui l di ng a restaurant i n our hometown. We are a sm al m uni ty and we enjoy our l ocal di shes. I am not sure i f McDonal d’s food i s as heal thy as they say i n thei r adverti sem ents. When sci enti sts look at i t careful ly, they fi nd high l evel s of fat, sugar and sal t. This i s very worrying. Too m any young peopl e are getti ng fat through eati ng too much fatty food. McDonald’s is not gi ving young peopl e a good i dea of what a heal thy di et shoul d be. Local Chi nese food, on the other hand, i s ful l of fresh vegetabl es and fresh meat and fi sh. The food at a McDonal d’s restaurant i s al ways the sam e, so I wonder i f i t i s m ade or brought i n from el sewhere. Al though i t i s freshl y cooked, i t m ust be l ess heal thy than our own l ocal y grown and cooked Chi nese food. I also wory about al those cars bri ngi ng peopl e to buy food at McDonal d’s. Fi rst, there woul d be petrol fum es(氣體 ), whi ch wi l m ake our cl ean ai r dirty. Second, there’s the probl em of al those cars that try to park and prevent other cars from m oving qui ckl y through our town. I’m sure m any young peopl e woul d be happy to work for McDonal d’s but wi l they be treated fai rl y？ In Am erican, McDonal d’s does not al ow workers’ uni ons to operate i n i ts restaurants and these are peopl e who speak up for the workers. If, as they say, the workers are happy wi th them , why shoul d they fear som e workers joi n
