In 1895, a man named Raymond Kroc entered a partnership company with two brothers named McDonald. They 1 a popular restaurant in California 2 sold food that was easy to prepare and 3 quickly. Hamburgers, French fries, and cold drinks were the 4 food there. Kroc opened similar eating places 5 the same name “McDonald”, and they were very successful. He later 6 the company, and today it is one of the most famous and successful “fast-food” in America and the world.

  Why was Kroc's idea so successful? Probably the most 7 reason was that his timing was right. In the 1950's most 8 women stayed home to keep house and 9 their children. In 1960's many women 10 to the workplace. This meant that they had less time and energy 11 housework and preparations 12 meals so they 13 more on “TV dinners” and fast-food restaurants. Single parents also have 14 time to spend in the kitchen. People 15 alone al so depend on this type of food, since cooking for one is often 16 trouble than it is worth.

  Fast-food is not part of the 17 of all Americans. Another tend (傾向) of the 1960's, sometimes called the back-to-nature movement, 18 many people to avoid food 19 was prepared and put in bags. This preference (偏愛) for 20 food continues to this day.

Scientists working on a problem do not know and sometimes can't even guess what the final result will be. Late on Friday, 8 November, 1895, Professor Rontgen, a German physicist, was doing an experiment in his laboratory when he noticed something extraordinary. He had covered an electric bulb with black cardboard, and when he switched on the current he saw little dancing lights on his table. Now .the bulb was completely covered; how then could any ray penetrate? On the table there were some pieces of paper which had been covered with metal salts. It was on this paper that the light was shining. Professor Rontgen took a piece of this paper and held it at a distance from the lamp. Between it and the lamp he placed a variety of objects, a book, a pack of cards, a piece of wood and a door key. The ray penetrated every one of them except the key. He called his wife into the laboratory and asked her to hold her hand between the lamp and a photographic plate. She was very surprised by this request, but she held up her hand for a quarter of an hour, and when the plate was developed there was a picture of the bones of her hand and of the ring on one finger. The mysterious ray could pass through the flesh and not through the bone or the ring.

At a scientific meeting, Professor Rontgen called this ray “the unknown”, the X-ray. Doctors quickly saw how this could be used, and soon there were X-ray machines in all the big hospitals. The most obvious use for this discovery was to enable doctors to see exactly how a bone was broken. Other uses came later. It was found that these rays could be used to destroy cancer cells, just as they destroyed the healthy cells of the doctors who first used the machines. Methods were found later which ulcers (潰瘍) in the stomach could be located, and the lungs could be X-rayed to show if there was any tuberculosis (肺結核) present.

    1. How did Professor Rontgen discover the X-ray?

       A. He discovered it as the result of his careful-planned experiments.

       B. He discovered it by accident while he was doing an experiment.

       C. He discovered it because of his wife's good suggestion and help.

       D. He discovered it with the help of other physicists.

    2. According to Para. 1, what caused the strange dancing lights on Professor Rontgen's table in the laboratory?

       A. The electric bulb and the cardboard. 

       B. The current and the table.

      C. The unknown rays and the paper itself.

       D. The penetrating rays and the metal stilts.

    3. Professor Rontgen found that the X-ray could——.

      A. penetrate everything but metal

      B. pass through both flesh and bone

      C. penetrate only black cardboard

      D. cause the metal to shine

    4. Which of the following uses of X-ray are mentioned in the passage?

      1) to observe broken bones   2) to cut off useless damaged arms of legs

      3) to kill cancer cells     4) to locate ulcers in the stomach

The Success of McDonald's

  In 1895, a man named Raymond Kroc entered a partnership(合營公司)with two brothers named McDonald.They opened a popular restaurant in California which sold food that was easy to prepare and serve quickly.Hamburgers, French fries, and cold drinks were the main food there.Kroc opened similar eating places under the same name“Mc Donald”, and they were an instant(立即的)success.He later took over the company, and today it is one of the most famous and successful“fastfood”in America and the world.

  Why was his idea so successful?Probably the most important reason was that his timing was right.In the 1950s, most married women stayed home to keep house and take care of their children.In the 1960s, many women returned to the workplace, this meant that they had less time and energy(精力)to do housework and preparations for meals so they relied more on“TV dinners”and fast-food restaurants.Single parents also have little time to spend in the kitchen.People living alone also depend on this type of food, since cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth

  Fast-food is not part of the diet(飲食)of all Americans.Another trend(傾向)of the 1960s, sometimes called the back-to-nature movement influenced(影響)many people to avoid(避開)food that was packaged or processed(袋裝的或加工好的).This preference(偏愛)for natural foods continues to this day.
