Since World War II, as more women have assumed jobs outside the home, eating out
has become a part of the lifestyle of people in the U. S. and elsewhere. With one hour as the
average time allowed for lunch, if a worker does not bring food from home, a fast-food restaurant
becomes the worker’s choice. As a result of this expanding trend, many fast-food restaurant
chains have developed, and the competition among them is keen. McDonald’s is one of the
world’s most renowned chains—it is the one with the huge golden arch as its symbol.
No matter where a McDonald’s may be located, it is a home away from home for Americans
and many people in other countries. At any outlet, they know how to behave, what to expect,
and what to eat. The food is standard with only minor regional variations. Most menus, however,
from one place to another, offer the same items. The prices are also the same and the menu is
usually located in the same place in every restaurant. Utterances across each spotless counter
are standardized. Not only are customers limited in what they can choose but also in what they
can say. Each item on the menu has its appropriate McDonald’s designation: “Quarter Pounder
with Cheese” or “Filet-O-Fish” or “Fries.” The customer who asks, “What’s a Big Mac?” is as
out of place as a Buddhist at a Roman Catholic church. 【題組】18. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
(A) Location was the only reason for McDonald’s to be popular.
(B) McDonald’s was first developed at the turn of the 21st century.
(C) People don’t like to eat at McDonald’s while traveling to other places.
(D) Items on a McDonald’s menu can be easily named by customers.
