When Denis Hennequin took over as the European boss of McDonald', the world?s biggest restaurant chain was showing signs of recovery in America and Australia, but sales in Europe were declining. One exception was France, where Mr Hennequin had done a sterling job as head of the group's French branch. So far he is doing well.

Mr Hennequin?s secret for recovery is to be “locally relevant”, and to improve the experience of visiting all the restaurants. McDonald's is blamed for making people fat, exploiting （剥削）workers, treating animals cruelly, polluting the environment and simply for being American. Mr Hennequin says he wants to face the public to address these concerns.

He introduced “open door” visitor days which became hugely popular. In Poland alone some 50,000 visitors came to McDonald's through the visitors? program last year. The Nutrition

Information Program, launched last year, put detailed labels on McDonald's packaging with data on calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates（碳水化合物）and salt content.

Mr Hennequin also wants people to know that “McJobs”, the low-paid jobs are much better than people think. But some of his efforts have the opposite effect: he introduced “McPassport” that allows McDonald's employees to work anywhere in the European Union. Politicians accused the firm of a ploy（策略）to make cheap labour from Eastern Europe more easily available to McDonald's across the continent.

To stay in touch with local needs and preferences, McDonald's employs local managers and buys mainly from local suppliers. Four-fifths of its supplies in France come from local farmers, for example. Some of the French farmers who once campaigned against the company subsequently discovered that it was, in fact, buying their produce. And it hires celebrities such as Heidi Klum, a German model, as local brand ambassadors（代言人）.

In his previous job Mr Hennequin established a “design studio” in France to decorate his company?s dull restaurants and adapt the inside to local tastes. He also set up a “food studio, where cooks invent new menus in response to local trends.

He is already being promoted as the first European candidate for the group?s top job in Illinois due to his contributions to the company.

24. T he underlined word “sterling” in Paragraph 1 means__________.

A. difficult

B. important

C. terrible

D. excellent

25. Which of the following statements is not a blame for McDonald?s?

A. It tends to make animals suffer.

B. It tends to make people overweight.

C. It tends to better serve the American people.

D. It tends to take advantage of the employees.

26. ___________ launched by Denis Hennequin produced undesired result.

A. “McPassport” Program

B. “Locally Relevant” Ploy

C. “Design Studio” Program

D. “Open Door” Visitor Days

27. What did Denis Hennequin do to respond to local people?s food trends?

A. He established a “Food Studio”.

B. He employed many local managers.

C. He hired celebrities as local brand ambassadors.

D. He boughtproduce mainly from foreign suppliers.

Fashion of the future will not just be aboutthe length of skirts or the width of trousers.Fashion will team up with technology andthe result will be something that we mayfind difficult to imagine at present.

Many companies are already puttingfashion and technology togethercalled …wearable technology?.One company has produced a jacket witha built-in minidisc player. Anothercompany has made jackets with built-in fansto help their customers to keep cool. The future of technology in fibreis only a few years away. One shoecompany has alreadydesigned a running shoe with an embeddedmicrochip（内置微型芯片）that checks the ground underfootand accordingly adjusts the level of shockabsorption.

But the real high-tech designs of the futurehave yet to reach the shops. These willconsist of materialsthat arenow only being sketched（描绘）out in research laboratories aroundthe world. Wearable technology willeventually become a basic product, muchlike blue jeans. Students in laboratories in variousuniversities are experimenting with cheapwearable technology. Using fabrics filledwith various metals, they are working onproducing clothing that is soft to the touchand can change shape according to thetemperature.

It is not just clothing that is becomingtechnical. Designers are also trying to findnew ways to fit clothes. One fashiontechnology company has already createdthe world?s first pair of perfectly fitted jeans.The customer stands in a blackchanging room while a light flashes overthe body for eight seconds. The exact bodymeasurements are scanned. A pair of perfectly fitted jeansarrives within two weeks.

Some of the ideas being explored, such aswrinkle resistant sweaters, will probably bein the shops before long. But others, airconditioned jackets, for example, maynever be available to buy, no matterhow amazing they sound.

As if in-laws, bosses, and religion didn?t provide enough guilt（愧疚）to last a lifetime, these days we?re beating ourselves up for formerly mindless action like throwing a coke can into the garbage. "Green guilt" is the latest type of self-punishment. A Yale survey found that men and women are definitely anxious about the Earth's suffering.

Here is the thing—and it may come as a surprise: There's nothing wrong with guilt. "It holds society together," says David, assistant professor of psychology at New York University. "Without it, people wouldn?t be motivated to maintain standards ofsocial behaviour and it?s guilt that often drives us to change behaviors and take action.” "We spend so much time trying to be guilt-free," says June Tangney, professor of psychology at George Mason University, "and that?s a mistake."

The guilt we all know and don?t love, however—the consumingkind—comes from not taking action. With green guilt, the cure is easy: Take small actions to help the environment (a reusable cloth grocery bag here, recycled paper there). Remember: You personally did not cause global warming, and shouldn?t feel responsible for fixing it. "Ask yourself, 'What are reasonable goals for me, knowing that I can?t take care of everybody and everything?'" says Tangney. "Once you translate the most important things into practical plans, you?ll feel a lifting of some of this moral weight."

Daniel Esty, director of the Yale Center for Environmental Law & Policy conducting the survey, emphasizes that small adjustments make a big difference. "A few 'supergreens' will go through their homes and throw every incandescent bulb（白炽灯泡）," he says, "but for most people the right answer is, when the light burns out, put in an energy-saving bulb. It's simple, it?s cost-effective, and you?re not wasting things before the end of their useful lives." And do what you can, he says, on big issues like getting greenhouse gas emissions down—for instance, biking or carpooling（拼车）to work once a week. As everyone takes a step in that direction, we?ll all make a lot of progress." If the guilt starts to rise, Esty adds, just remind yourself: No one?s perfect.

32. According to the passage, which of the following people may be regarded as “Green guilt”?

A. People who care little about the environment.

B. People who maintain standards ofsocial behaviour.

C. People who feel responsible for the global warming.

D. People who mindlessly throw a coke can into the garbage.

33. What can we infer from Tangney?s point of view?

A. Spending so much time trying to be guilt-free is a mistake.

B. Carrying out practical plans will add to your moral weight.

C. Taking care of everybody and everything is none of your business.

D. Every little bit helps when achieving your environment-friendly goal.

34. The author mentions'supergreens' in order to____________.

A. challenge Tangney?s point of view

B. make a comparison and give instructions

C. point out the wrong behaviour of'supergreens'

D. emphasizethe advantage of energy-saving bulbs

35. What is the author?s ma in purpose in writing the passage?

A. To show the importance of going green.

B. To instruct the public to get over"Green guilt".

C. To warn the public of the dangers of "Green guilt".

D. To blame the public for overprotecting theenvironment.

YOUNG CHILDREN IN RESTAURANTS

Eating out with young children needs careful planning. Here are my tips for a successful visit to a restaurant with young children.

Quiet entertainment

36. I suggest a colouring book, a toy car or an action figure. Make sure you take toys that are quiet, because other diners will not want to listen to a loud battery-operated toy while they eat. Limited choices

Too many choices can often lead to young children getting upset.37 . The restaurant might offer milk, fruit juices and water, but that might be too many drinks for your child to pick from.

I suggest offering children only milk or water. I also advise that you limit the choices of food.

38

You could find out which restaurants are child-friendly before choosing one. You can ask friends for advice or search for information on the internet. 39 . Choose a less formal place with a relaxed atmosphere for the children.

Before you go

It is a good idea to talk with your child about how to behave at a restaurant before you go there. 40 . Y ou?ll be able to enjoy it while helping your children learn what is expected of them at a restaurant. It is important that children learn how to behave when they are in different situations.

A. Get advice from friends

B. Choose the right restaurant

C. You could have a special meal at home

D. Quiet toys will make children feel entertained

E. It is best to limit your chi ld?s choices for food and drink

F. It is a good idea to take an activity for young children to enjoy

G. It will be a disaster for you if you try to take a young child to a formal restaurant

Cities are exciting and wonderful places to live. I have always enjoyed live in them, as there is so many to do and see. There are museums, cinemas, theatres, art gallery, parks, coffee bars, clubs and many other of places where people can meet and exchange ideas. And there are times that I need the peace and quiet of the countryside.

Cities are interested, and they can be beautiful, but they are never beautiful in the way that the countryside is beautiful. By this I meant that they do not have the beauty of nature, trees and hills, lakes and streams.

I love cities, but sometime I need to get out into the countryside. I think that there are many people who feel same way.
