Most people realize that fast food isn't the healthiest or best?tasting cuisine(菜肴). It is, however, expected to be fast.
Many chains like McDonald's have struggled with slower food delivery in recent years, because there are more items on the menu. But the world's largest restaurant chain, which serves 68 million customers daily in 119 countries, is trying to change that.
For several months, McDonald's has been testing what's called the “just?for?you experience”. In 200 U S restaurants (and more than 2,000 across the globe), customers are able to order directly from a self?serve kiosk(售貨亭), after which an employee brings the meal directly to the table.
McDonald's chief executive Steve Easterbrook, speaking at a McDonald's in New York's Tribeca neighbourhood on Thursday, said the company has long expected customers to adapt to its business model of ordering at the counter and then waiting to collect their own food. Now, he said, “We're adapting our business around customers.”
It showed that “test runs at more than 500 restaurants…showed an increase in foot traffic and contributed to a mid?single?digit percentage increase in restaurant sales, lifting the 5 to 6 average check by 1, on average.” Customer satisfaction scores also increased, “because families, in particular, appreciate having their food brought to them.”The company also announced the beginning of a new mobile order?and?pay app, which would allow customers to order and pay for food from their smart phones.
Mike, a common customer, said, “As a father of two small children, I'm every fast?food chain's target customer. My wife and I try to avoid McDonald's when possible, but like many parents we end up going. I've used the self?serve kiosks and like them a lot: they're easy to use, reduce the pressure of making a choice with impatient customers behind you, and make a big difference in delivery time. I just hope they don't start expecting me to tip.”
1.Why do many chains have a slower food delivery in the past several years?
A. Because they have struggled many expectations.
B. Because they have more dishes to serve people.
C. Because they have the world's largest restaurant chains.
D. Because sometimes they have too many customers.
2.How do customers get their food after ordering food self?serve kiosks?
A. By testing McDonald's machine.
B. By taking food by themselves.
C. By letting waiters bring food for them.
D. By letting employees serve for them.
3.What's the result of trying “just?for?you experience”?
A. It is a great success.
B. It caused traffic jam.
C. It's well received only by app users.
D. It still needs to be observed.
4.What can we infer from what Mike said?
A. His family don't like McDonald's.
B. He's willing to give tips for good service.
C. Self?serve kiosks are a good choice.
D. It's hard for him to spend the delivery time.

In December, after her third fall in a few months, Doris Carpenter was admitted to Rochdale infirmary(養(yǎng)老院). Carpenter, 84, lives alone, but she is increasingly unsteady on her feet, and if she falls, she hasn’t the strength to get up again. Previously, a call to 111 would call nursing staff who could put her back into a chair, but it was increasingly clear she wasn’t coping, and needed more support.
This isn’t like any old hospital, however. Today Carpenter isn’t in bed but sitting in a chair, dressed in her own clothes, a fat Dan Brown book in front of her. “You don’t feel like you’re in hospital,” she says.
Two side rooms have been furnished with small groups of tables and chairs, with bright tablecloths. Those patients who are able can help themselves to food at mealtimes and sit with others to eat, or go to the library to select another page-turner. A physiotherapist helps Carpenter with her painful back, and is working to help improve her confidence on stairs.
Previously, an elderly person in Carpenter’s condition would most likely have ended up in an acute hospital ward(病房).
There, very frequently, people of her age would get stuck, and many would go downhill fast.
“They come into hospital, and our model in the NHS is to put them to bed,” says Steve Taylor, the divisional director for community services. “Put your pyjamas on, you stay in that bed, we will feed you and toilet you.”
Shockingly quickly, he says, patients can lose what abilities they previously had. “And then, when it comes time to discharge you, you can no longer walk.”
This is probably the biggest challenge facing the NHS – the problem of an older population, the long years of illness that many of us will face and a fragile social care system underpinning it all.
1.What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Carpenter often falls at home.
B. No one looks after Carpenter.
C. There is something wrong with Carpenter’s legs.
D. Carpenter is in such poor condition that she had to go to hospital.
2.How might Carpenters feel living in the new hospital?
A. Lonely. B. Desperate.
C. Relaxed. D. Curious.
3.In which section of a newspaper can you find this text?
A. Society. B. Technology.
C. Family. D. Medicine.

A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds as a snack so much “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometime even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room , a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumping fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds.
Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat be-fore the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy, and it’s connected to their culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.
1.What did the writer become aware of?
A. She had ever typed a report about seeds.
B. She are various snacks while watching TV.
C. She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.
D. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds.
2.What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year?
A. The traditions of celebrating it disappear.
B. Children can eat delicious food on that day
C. The families get together for it.
D. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
3.The writer’s to Denmark’s way of eating bread is______.
A. acceptable B. critical
C. neutral D. doubtful
4.What lesson can we learn from the story?
A. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone.
B. Eating habits come from a certain culture.
C. It is good to form healthy eating habits.
D. Changing your eating habits will change your life.
