【正文】 their instruments are dressed up for winter.Finally, you will probably want to sit down in a cafe wo warm up an to plan tomorrow. You might join the snowmobile races – or maybe you should just sleep in!Unit 2COME AND EAT HERE (1)Wang Peng sat in his empty restaurant feeling very frustrated. It had been a very strange morning. Usually he got up early and prepared his menu of barbecued mutton kebabs, roast pork, stirfried vegetables and fried rice. Then by lunchtime they would all be sold. By now his restaurant ought to be full of people. But not today! Why was that? What could have happened? He thought of his mutton, beef and bacon cooked in the hottest, finest oil. His cola was sugary and cold, and his ice cream was made of milk, cream and delicious fruit. “Nothing could be better,” he thought. Suddenly he saw his friend Li Chang hurrying by. “Hello, Lao Li,” he called, “Your usual?” But Li Chang seemed not to hear. What was the matter? Something terrible must have happened if Li Chang was not ing to eat in his restaurant as he always did.Wang Peng followed Li Chang into a new small saw a sign in the window.Tired of all that fat? Want to lose weight?Come inside Yong Hui’s slimming restaurant.Only slimming foods served here.Make yourself thin again.Curiosity drove Wang Peng inside. It was full of people. The hostess, a very thin lady came forward. “Wele,” she said. “My name is Yong Hui. I’ll help you lose weight and be fit in two weeks if you eat here every day.” Then she gave a menu to Wang Peng. There were few choices of food and drink on it: just rice, raw vegetables served in vinegar, fruit and water. Wang Peng was amazed at this and especially at the prices. It cost more than a good meal in his restaurant! He could not believe his eyes. He threw down the menu and hurried outside. On his way home he thought about his own menu. Did it make people fat? Perhaps he should go to the library and find out. He could not have Yong Hui getting away with telling people lies! He had better do some research!At the library Wang Peng was surprised to find that his restaurant served far too much fat and Yong Hui’s far too little. Even though her customers might get thin after eating Yong Hui’s food, they were not eating enough energygiving food to keep them fit. They would bee tired very quickly. Wang Peng felt more hopeful as he drove back home. Perhaps with a discount and a new sign he could win his customers back! So he wrote:Want to feel fit and energetic?Come and eat here! Discounts today!Our food gives you energy all day!The petition between the two restaurants was on!COME AND EAT HERE (2)A week later, Wang Peng’s restaurant was nearly full and he felt happier. Perhaps he would be able to earn his living after all and not have to close his restaurant. He did not look forward to being in debt because his restaurant was no longer popular. He smiled as he weled 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 that 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 don’t want to upset you, but I found your menu so limited that I stopped worrying and started advertising the benefits of my food. Why don’t 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 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. Don’t you get tired quickly?” “Well, I do have to rest a lot, ”admitted Yong Hui. “But don’t you think it would be better if you were a bit thinner? I’m 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 don’t offer enough fibre and you don’t offer enough body–building and energy–giving foods. Perhaps we ought to bine our ideas and provide a balanced menu with foods full of energy and fibre. ”So that is what 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 they 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 lived happily ever after. FOR BUILDING A MCDONALD’SI was excited when I heard that our munity was to have its own McDonald’s 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. McDonald’s cares about healthy eating too 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. McDonald’s say they are interested in doing what is right for the munity 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 pany. McDonald’s makes a promise to the people that work for them. They say,“We value you, your growing skills and your help to the pany.”
