It seems impossible, but people eat 34,000,000,000 hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times. The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants, people order their food, wait just a few minutes and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat it at home, at work, or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food, and a worker hands it to them through the window. Then they eat in their car. Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurants serve. Some serve fish, chicken, beef, sandwiches, or Mexican food. They also serve fries (French fired potatoes), shakes (a drink made from milk and ice cream), soft drinks, and coffee. Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive. For many people, this is more important than the quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always the same. People know that if they eat at a company’s restaurant in the north or south of the city, the food will be the same. If they eat in New York or San Francisco, it will still be the same. 51.According to the passage, what food do Americans like best? A. beef B. sandwiches C. hamburger D. fries 52.

You should choose the one that best fits into the passage. One of the things I always believed is that no matter how bad something is, you can 56 something valuable out of it.
