【正文】 er, have m ade a bet. Ol iver beli eves that wi th a mil li on pound bank note a m an coul d survive a m onth i n London. Hi s brother Roderi ck doubts it. At thi s m om ent, they see a pennil es young m an wanderi ng on the pavem ent outsi de thei r house. It i s H enry Adam s, an Am erican busi nessm an, who i s l ost i n London and does not know what he shoul d do. Roderi ck: Young man, would you step i nsi de a m om ent, pl ease? H enry: Who? Me, si r? Roderi ck: Yes, you. Ol i ver: Through the front door on your l eft. H enry: ( A servant opens a door) Thanks. Servant: God m orni ng, si r. Woul d you pl ease e i n? Permi t m e to l ead the way, si r. O li ver: （ H enry enters） Thank you, Jam es. That wi l be al l. Roderi ck: H ow do you do, Mr…er…? H enry: Adam s. H enry Adams. Ol iver: Com e and si t down, Mr Adam s. H enry: Thank you. Roderick: You are an Am erican? H enry: That’ s ri ght, from San Franci sco. Roderi ck: H ow wel do you know London? H enry: Not at al l, i t’s m y fi rst tri p here. Roderi ck: I wonder, Mr Adam s, i f you’d m i nd US aski ng a few questi ons. H enry: N ot at al . Go ri ght ahead. Roderick: May we ask what you’re doi ng i n this country and what your pl ans are? H enry: Wel , I can’t say that I have any pl ans. I’m hopi ng to fi nd work. As a m ater of fact, I l anded i n Bri tai n by acci dent. Ol iver: H ow i s that possi bl e? H enry: Wel , you see, back hom e I had my own boat. About a m onth ago, I was sail i ng out of the bay… ( hi s eyes stare at what i s l eft of the brother’s dinner on tabl e. ) Oli ver: Wel l, go on. H enry: O h, yes. Wel , towards ni ghtfal l I found m ysel f carri ed out to sea by a strong wi nd. It was al my faul t. It didn39。t know whether I coul d survi ve until morning. The next morni ng I’d just about gi ven myself up for lsot when I was spotted by a shi p. Oli ver: And it was the ship that brought you to Engl and. H enry: Yes. The fact i s that I earned my passage by worki ng as an unpaid hand, whi ch accounts to the li brary and find out. H e coul d not have Yong H ui geti 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 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 fod, they were not eati ng enough energygi vi ng food to keep them fi t. They woul d bee ti red very quickl 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 ok forward to bei ng i n debt because his restaurant was no l onger popular. H e smi l ed as he wel ed som e customers warml y at the dor but the sm il e l eft his face when he saw Yong H ui walki ng i n. She di d not l ook happy but gl ared at him. “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 m y m enu, ” she shouted. “Pl ease excuse m e, ” he calm l y expl ai ned, “I wanted to know where al m y custom ers had gone l ast week. I fol l owed one of them and found them i n your restaurant. I don’t want to upset you, but I found your menu so l im ited that I stopped woryi ng and started adverti si ng the benefi ts of m y fod. Why don’t you si t down and try a meal ?” Yong H ui agreed to stay and soon they were both enjoying the dum pl i ngs and breast of chi cken cooked wi th garl i c. When they were served the i ce cream , Yong Hui began to l ook il l. “I feel si ck wi th al thi s fat and heavy food, ”she sai d,“I m iss m y vegetabl es and frui t.”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 my dum pl i ngs and faty pork. Don’t you get ti red qui ckl y?” “Wel l, I do have to rest a l ot, ”admi tted Yong H ui . “But don’t you thi nk i t woul d be better i f you were a bi t 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, neither your restaurant nor mi ne offers a balanced 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–givi ng foods. Perhaps we ought to bi ne our i deas and provi de a bal anced m enu wi th foods ful l 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 with the ice 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 succes that before l ong Wang Peng becam e slim m er and Yong H ui put on m ore wei ght. After som e tim e the two found that thei r business cooperati on had turned i nto a personal one . Fi nal y they got m arri ed and l ived hapil y ever after. FOR BUILDING A MCDO N ALD’S I was exci ted when I heard that our m uni ty was to have its 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 chips. McDonal d’s cares about heal thy eati ng too and works wi th sci enti sts to provi de food that is 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 cola and m il k shakes(奶昔 ). Of course i t al so m eans more work for our area that needs jobs b
