A qui et day39。s f ishi ng, or eight hours i n a ci nema seei ng t he same fil m over and over again, i s usual y as f ar as t hey get . They have al been put to shame by a boy who, whi le playi ng t ruant , t ravel ed 1600 mi les. He hi tch hiked t o Dover and, towards eveni ng, went i nt o a boat o fi nd somewher e to sleep. When he woke up next mo terri bl e m ust have happened if Li Chang was not i ng to eat i n his restaurant as he al ways di d. Wang Peng fol lowed Li Chang i nto a new sm al e saw a sign i n the wi ndow. Ti red of al l that fat? Want to l ose weight? Com e i nside Yong H ui’s sl immi ng restaurant. O nly slimmi ng fods served here. Make yourself thi n agai n. Curi osity drove Wang Peng insi de. It was ful of people. The hostess, a very thi n l ady cam e forward. “Wel e, ” she sai d. “My nam e is Yong H ui . I’l l hel p you l ose wei ght and be fi t in two weeks i f you eat here every day.” Then she gave a m enu to Wang Peng. There were few choi ces of food and dri nk on i t: just rice, raw vegetabl es served in vinegar, frui t and water. Wang Peng was amazed at this and especi al y at the pri ces. It cost m ore than a good m eal in hi s restaurant! H e coul d not beli eve his eyes. H e threw down the m enu and hurri ed outsi de. O n his way hom e he thought about hi s own m enu. Di d it make people fat? Perhaps he shoul d go to the li brary and fi nd out. H e could not have Yong H ui getti ng away wi th teli ng peopl e li es! H e had better do som e research! At the li brary Wang Peng was surprised to fi nd that hi s restaurant served far too much fat and Yong H ui’s far to li ttl e. Even though her custom ers mi ght get thi n after eati ng Yong H ui ’s food, they were not eating enough energygi vi ng food to keep them fit. They woul d be e ti red very qui ckly. Wang Peng fel t m ore hopeful as he drove back home. Perhaps with a discount and a new sign he could wi n hi s custom ers back! So he wrote: Want to feel fit and energeti c? Come and eat here! Discounts today! O ur food gi ves you energy al day! The peti ti on betwen the two restaurants was on! COME AND EAT H ERE (2) A week later, Wang Peng’s restaurant was nearl y ful and he felt happi er. Perhaps he woul d be able to earn hi s l iving after al l and not have to cl ose his restaurant. H e di d not l ook forward to bei ng i n debt because hi s restaurant was no longer popul ar. H e smil ed as he wel ed some custom ers warml y at the door but the sm il e left hi s face when he saw Yong Hui wal ki ng i n. She di d not look happy but gl ared at him. “May I ask what you were doing i n m y restaurant the other day? I thought you were a new custom er and now I know that you onl y came only to spy on me and m y m enu,” she shouted. “Please excuse me,” he calm ly expl ai ned,“I wanted to know where al m y custom ers had gone last wek. I fol owed one of them and found them in your restaurant. I don’t want to upset you, but I found your m enu so lim ited that I stopped worrying 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 soon they were both enjoyi ng the dum pl ings and breast of chicken cooked wi th garl ic. When they were served the i ce cream, Yong Hui began to l ook i l. “I fel si ck wi th al this fat and heavy food,”she said,“I m iss m y vegetabl es and fruit. ”Wang Peng was enjoyi ng a second pl ate of dumpli ngs so he si ghed.“Yes,”he aded, “and I woul d m iss m y dum pl ings and faty pork. Don’t you get ti red quickl y?” “Wel, I do have to rest a l ot, ”adm itted Yong H ui . “But don’t you think i t would be beter if you were a bit thinner? I’m sure you woul d fel m uch heal thi er.” They began to tal k about m enus and balanced di ets. “Accordi ng to my research, neither your restaurant nor mi 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–buil di ng and energy–giving foods. Perhaps we ought to bi ne our i deas and provide a bal anced m enu 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 boil 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 increased the fi bre i n the meal . Thei r bal anced di ets becam e such a suces that before l ong Wang Peng becam e slimm er and Yong Hui put on m ore wei ght. After som e tim e the two found that thei r busines cooperati on had turned i nto a personal one . Fi nal y they got marri ed and li ved happil y ever after. FOR BUILDING A MCDONALD’S I was exci ted when I heard that our m unity was to have i ts own McDonal d’s restaurant. I thought about al those young peopl e who woul d not have to go to the next town to buy their favouri te burgers and chi ps. McDonal d’s cares about heal thy eati ng too and works wi th scienti sts to provi de food that is of high quali ty, safe and healthy. It is also cheap . They often provi de salads as wel as burgers and chi ps. You can al so choose between col a and mil k shakes(奶昔 ). O f course i t al so m eans m ore work for our area that needs jobs badly. McDonal d’s say they are interested in doing what i s ri ght for the m uni ty and bei ng a good nei ghbour. So I thi nk they wi l be concerned about provi di ng parki ng for the cars i n our mai n stret. Many of our young people wil l be only 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 s and your hel p to the pany.”I can see nothing but good if thi s pany es to bui l d i ts restaurant i n our town. AGAINST BUILDING A MCDONALD’S I am very worri ed about McDonal d’s buil ding a restaurant i n our hom etown. We are a sm al m uni ty and we enj
