Under pressure from health and children’s groups, McDonald’s is making changes to its famous Happy Meals. The fast food chain (連鎖店) will add a serving (一份食物的量) of fruit or vegetable to all of the meals, which are aimed at children, and reduce the amount of French fries.
McDonald’s said it first experimented with cutting fries entirely from the Happy Meals, but children and parents disagreed. “People come to McDonald’s and, first of all, they want the choice and the control to be theirs, but their expectation of a Happy Meal does include fries,”said Jan Fields, president of McDonald’s in the US. ”When we did it without fries, there was a huge disappointment.”
The new French fries in Happy Meals will contain 1.1 ounces (31 grams) of potatoes, down from 2.4 ounces. Apple slices will often be included as the healthy dish, but it could also be carrots, pineapple slices or oranges, depending on the time of year and the region(區(qū)域) in which they are being served.
Although the subject to variation (變化) depends on what is ordered, the new meals will represent, on average, a 20% decrease (減少) in calories (卡路里) , the chain said. Fields said Happy Meal prices will not go up as a result of the changes. But the chain has raised prices this year as a result of increasing costs.
As the world’s largest restaurant chain by sales, McDonald’s has been under careful examination for the nutritional (營養(yǎng)的) quality of its food. People also criticized its sales of children’s meals with a toy, connecting it to the nation’s obesity (肥胖) problem.
小題1: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A．New Happy Meals contain fewer calories.
B．New Happy Meal prices are not the same as the old ones.
C．People do not want to eat French fries in Happy Meals.
D．Old Happy Meals contain 2.4 ounces of potatoes in the form of French fries.
小題2: According to the passage ,_____________won’t be served in the new Happy Meals.
A．a(chǎn)pple slicesB．oranges
C．bananasD．carrots
小題3: Why did people criticize the sale of children’s meals with a toy at McDonald’s?
A．The toy is of poor quality.
B．Children prefer its toys to its meals.
C．It makes the children’s meals more expensive.
D．It will cause the obesity problem.
小題4:What is the best title for the passage?
A．McDonald’s to Raise Price Again
B．McDonald’s in Careful Examination
C．McDonald’s Criticized by Children and Parents
D．McDonald’s to Make Happy Meals Healthier
