Going to Starbucks, for example, is a status symbol. It not only says, I39。m rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee, but also, I39。m cosmopolitan (見多識(shí)廣的) enough to be part of globalization. Where I e from in the UK, however, chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet (美食的). Chains are where you go on New Year39。s Day when nowhere else is open, or when you are 5 years old and your parents can39。t stand hearing, I39。m hungry! any longer. In my own case (with regards to McDonald39。s), a chain is where you are taken on your first date. Even at the age of 13, I knew to give the guy the let39。s just be friends phone call the next day. In the UK, independent cafes and restaurants are making a eback on the fashion scene. Nowadays, a Londoner who says let39。s meet for a coffee at Monmouth (an independent caf233。) is much cooler than one who says let39。s go to Starbucks. Even if Monmouth39。s coffee is a little more expensive, there39。s a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren39。t going straight to the big corporations. Of course, there are chain stores all over the UK。 you can39。t go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee. But numbers do not add up to good taste. I do, however, have a confession (坦白). After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much. I, too, have retreated to McDonald39。s.（1）Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants because ________.
