Heart

disease

kills

more

than

a

million

people

in

the

world

every

year.

In

Britain

alone

170,000 die from the disease annually. There are three main reasons for this: smoking, a bad diet,

and not taking enough exercise. Many people travel to work by car, bus or train and then sit down

at work all day! The food they eat is unhealthy and they eat too much. In a typical British dish of

sausages, chips and beans there is too much salt and too much sugar

—

an important ingredient in

tinned food

—

and there are not enough vegetables. And there is not enough fiber in most meals.

There are too many deaths from heart disease. We can reduce that number, but we have to change

our habits.

【原文】

The

younger

members

of

most

American

families

don’t

like

foreign

food.

They

like

hamburgers.

Their

idea

of

a

good

meal

is

a

hamburger,

served with

ketchup

and

French fried

potatoes, which are called

French fries

. French fries are not considered foreign; most American

children and teenagers love to eat them any time of the day or night.

Millions

of

hamburgers

and

French

fries

are

eaten

every

year.

Thousands

of

roadside

restaurants prepare and sell them. These are not really restaurants in the usual

sense; they often

have little space for tables and chairs. Many people buy their hamburgers and take them home to

eat, or eat them in their cars.

Sometimes it is not necessary to go inside in order to buy the hamburgers. They are ordered

through

a window

in

the

restaurant

and

then

are

handed

out

through

the window

to

the waiting

customer. Sometimes the customer does not even have to get out of his car.

When an American family travels abroad, this is almost always the custom that the younger

members of the family miss most.

【原文】

Mrs. Wong: Have you tried cooking Chinese fried rice?

Mrs. Adams: Y

es, I made it last Saturday

, just the way you told me to make it.

Mrs. Wong: How did it taste?

Mrs. Adams: Not as

good as yours, but we all liked

it. All except my teenagers. They don’t like

anything but hamburgers.

Mrs. Wong: Oh, hamburgers! My children keep asking for hamburgers. I get so tired of hearing

about hamburgers!

Mrs. Adams: I know what you mean. I get tired of making them.

Mrs. Wong: How do you make them? I suppose 1 should learn how.

Mrs. Adams: They’re very simple, compared to your food.

Mrs. Wong: What kind of meat do you buy?

Mrs. Adams: Some kind of ground beef. I usually ask for either ground sirlo

in or ground round

steak. It’s more expensive than ground chuck, but it has less fat.

Mrs. Wong: How much do you buy?

Mrs. Adams: A

pound makes four big hamburgers.

Mrs. Wong: What do you mix with the ground beef?

Mrs.

Adams:

I

just

add

a

little

salt,

some

pepper,

and

sometimes

a

little

chopped

onion.

Some

people don’t like it with onions, but 1 do.

Mrs. Wong: So you mix the salt and pepper and onions with the ground beef.

Mrs. Adams: Y

es, and divide the mixture into balls. Then make the balls into patties.

Mrs. Wong: What is a patty?

Mrs. Adams: Y

ou just press down on a ball and make it flat. Patties are flattened balls. If you want

to get more than four patties out of a pound of meat, just make the patties thinner.

But don’t handle the meat too much.

Mrs. Wong: Why not?

Mrs. Adams: Because it will make the hamburgers tough. They’ll be hard and tough.

Mrs. Wong: Then I suppose you cook them on top of the stove.

Mrs.

Adams:

Y

es,

in

a

hot frying

pan.

Put

some

butter

in

the

pan

and

let

it

melt. Then

put

the

hamburger patties in.

Mrs. Wong: How long do you cook them?

Mrs. Adams: That depends on how you like them. Some people like them rare

—

red inside.

Mrs. Wong: I don’t like them rare!

Mrs. Adams: If you like them medium or well-done, cook them longer.

Mrs. Wong: Then you put them between pieces of bread.

Mrs. Adams: Most people use special rolls. Y

ou put the hamburger inside the big roll, and serve it

with ketchup and pickles. I let my family spread ketchup on their own hamburgers,

if they want it.

Mrs. Wong: Is that all you need to do?

Mrs. Adams: That’s all.

behind the counter have special machines and special routines. They prepare the food very quickly

and put it in boxes, cups or bags.

【原文】

Do you want a good meal? Do you want a quick meal’? Then go to a fast food

restaurant.

There are now thousands of fast food restaurants in the cities of the world. One famous name is

Harry’s

Hamburgers. Harry’s Hamburgers come from America and they are 22 years old. There

are

4,700

Harry’s

Hamburgers

in

25

different countries. In

England

the

restaurants

open

at

ten

o’clock in the

morning and close at eleven o’clock at night. They are open every day of the week

and every week of the year. But they close on 25th December, Christmas Day. All the restaurants

serve the same food. In London or New Y

ork, Paris or Madrid, people eat the same hamburgers,

French

fries

and

apple

pie.

And

they

drink

the

same

drinks: coffee,

Cola,

orange

drink

or

thick

milk shake.

In an ordinary cafe or restaurant you go to a table and sit down. A

waiter or waitress brings

you a menu and you choose your meal. Then you wait for the food. Sometimes you wait for half

an hour.

That’s a long time. The waiter brings the food to your table, and at the end of the meal he

brings you the bill. Then you pay for the meal and go home.

In a fast-

food restaurant you don’t sit at a table and look at a menu. Y

ou look at the price

-list

in the window or on the wall, and choose your meal. Then you go to the counter and give your

order.

Y

ou

don’t

wait

for

your

food.

The

staff

behind

the

counter

have

special

machines

and

special routines. They prepare the food very quickly, and put it in boxes, cups or bags.

Quarterpounder

hamburgers

come

in

white

boxes,

cheeseburgers

in

cream

boxes,

half-pounders

in

a

yellow

box

and

fishburgers

in

green

boxes.

They

put

French

fries

and

apple

pies in paper bags and

serve all the drinks in thick paper cups. At Harry’s Hamburgers you pay for

your meal before you eat it. The person at the counter takes your money and gives you your order.

People often eat in the restaurants. They get their food on a tray and take it to a table. Fast food is

finger food

—

you eat it from the bag or box with you fingers. After the meal you put your bags,

paper cups and boxes in a big litter bin.

Many people don’t eat in the

restaurants but take their meal away. They get their order in a

strong paper bag and take it to their office, to a park or to their homes. But the food always tastes

the same. Millions of people in the world eat it

—

and like i

t. Harry’s Hamburgers sell mi

llions of

hamburgers in a year.
