n said, "But you will see elements of this restaurant in some of our new construction. Its all about keeping our restaurants more relevant for our customers. " McDonalds has undergone an image change in more ways than one since a time two and a half years ago when its sales and reputation were sagging amid complaints about its service and food. Despite inconsistent results in some large European countries, that McSlump is no longer: some store sales have increased for 25 straight months in the key U. S. market. The company reported first-quarter operating income was up 6 percent to $ 910 million and revenue rose 9 percent to $4.8 billion over the same time last year. Its stock price nearly tripled over a two-year period, hitting a four-year high of $ 34. 56 per share in March, but has since settled around $ 29. Stylish new restaurants are part of the reform. plan; about 1 000, mostly older U. S. McDonalds have been either renovated or rebuilt since 2002. Contributing more to the sales increase, though, have been longer hours, accepting credit and debit cards, the high-powered "Im lovin it" marketing campaign and pricier new food items.

Amy Well, everyone told me that economics was more important than a language and I felt itd be really useful for further study. Dr. Carter It seems to not be your interest. And are you studying Spanish by yourself？ Amy Well, at first I thought I could keep up my Spanish on my own with a private teacher. The problem is that I just dont seem to have time to do everything. Dr. Carter Surely Spanish isnt too time consuming. Amy No, it wouldnt be except that I um, Ive got a part-time job in a restaurant three nights a week...I cant give that up because I really need the money. I just um, cant fit it all in. Dr. Carter Oh, you must have spent a lot on that. Do you think such a part-time job puts too much pressure on your curricular performance？ Amy To some extent, it does definitely. Dr. Carter We could offer you extra help with the economics if you are willing to stick to it. Amy No, really Dr. Carter, I dont think it would be any good. I want to change. Dr. Carter Yes, I can see that your mind is made up. Well, I have no objection, especially as you have a background in Spanish, but youll have to go and see Dr. Brown in the Spanish Department and see whether hell accept you or not.

y my occupation, that my profession is a gauge people use to see how smart or talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how Im treated as a person. Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waiting tables. As someone paid to serve food to people, I had customers say and do things to me I suspect theyd never say or do to their most casual acquaintances. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away, then beckoned (示意) me back with his finger a minute later, complaining he was ready to order and asking where Id been. I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like apeon (勤杂工) by plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that one day Id be sitting at their table, waiting to be served. Once I graduated I took a job at a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard a respectful tone from everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world worked--cordially. I soon found out differently. I sat several feet away from an advertising sales representative with a similar name. Our calls would often get mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately evident. Perhaps it was because money was involved, but people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me. My job title made people treat me with courtesy. So it was a shock to return to the restaurant industry. Its no secret that theres a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and fortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry, by definition, exists to cater to others needs. Still, it seemed that many of my customers didnt get the difference between server and servant. Im now applying to graduate school, which means someday Ill return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want. I think Ill take them to dinner first, and see how they treat someone whose only job is to serve them. The author was disappointed to find that _______.

A.ones position is used as a gauge to measure ones intelligence

B.talented people like her should fail to get a respectable job

C.ones occupation affects the way one is treated as a person

D.professionals tend to look down upon manual workers

because he says that high-fat foods at McDonalds, Burger King, Wendys, and KFC Corporation destroyed his health. Barber says that he ate at these restaurants four or five times a week for many years. He claims that this diet made him very overweight. According to Mr. Barber, obesity (肥胖症) gave him diabetes(糖尿病) ,high blood pressure,and two heart attacks. When a reporter asked him why he ate there so often,he said,"I was single,it was quick,and Im not a very good cook. " Barbers lawyer,Samuel Hirsch,says that the suit has two different purposes. The first is to make fast-food restaurants offer healthier foods in smaller amounts. The suit also asks that fast foods have warning labels similar to labels on cigarettes. Mr. Hirsch says that these labels are necessary because the effects of fast foods are similar to the effects of cigarettes, alcohol, and illegal drugs such as heroin. Two others may soon join Barbers suit. One is Frances Winn, a 57-year-old retired nurse. Ms. Winn says that she has eaten at fast-food restaurants at least twice a week since 1975. She says that this habit has caused several health problems,including high blood pressure. Isreal Bradley,59,said eating a pound of French fries every week gave him high blood pressure and diabetes. Officials of the fast-food industry attacked the legal action. National Restaurant Association representative Katharine Kim called it ridiculous. KFC spokeswoman Amy Sherwood claimed KFC offers several kinds of foods for people who want to eat healthier. Legal expert Walter Olson agreed that the suit had litde chance of success. He said that people were free to make different choices. Whether or not the suit is successful, there is no doubt that Americans have a weight problem. Medical experts say that obesity will soon be Americas number one killer. They have encouraged fast-food companies to offer healthier foods.
