One of the most popular places in Cuban Miami is a restaurant called Versailles, which als
o has lots of mirrors on its walls. It has been on Eighth Street and Thirty-Fifth Avenue for many years and shares the same name with the famous French palace. One goes to the Versailles not only to be seen, but to be multiplied(复制). This old, cheap, noisy restaurant that serves basic Cuban food is wonderful for the self absorbed people who like themselves very much. Because of the bright light, even the windows reflect(反射) , the Versailles is a place where you can lunch, but you can ' t hide.

For years I have had the idea that those mirrors keep the blurred image(模糊影像) of every- one who has walked past before them. I think the mirrors have a memory. Every Cuban who has lived or set foot in Miami over the last 30 years has, at one time or another, seen himself or herself reflected on those shiny surfaces. Miami is a Cuban city not only because of the number of Cubans who live there but also because of the number who have died there. The Versailles is a shiny place where dead people are buried. The history of Little Havana is written on those walls. This may have been why, when the mirrors came down in 1991, there was such anger against it that some of them had to be put back. The Hall of Mirrors is also a house of spirits.

60. What is most special about Versailles according to the writer?

[A] The blurred images reflected on the windows.

[ B ] The number of French customers.

[ C] The expensive Cuban food.

[ D] The walls of mirrors.

Eating out is one of the joys being in the USA) The food is usually good and often exc
ellent; the prices are reasonable; and the service is mostly fine.

Choosing a Restaurant

Some restaurants are open for breakfast; others are open twenty-four hours a day. A number of restaurants call themselves “family restaurants”. Many of these serve no alcohol and have fairly restricted menus which include steaks, hamburgers, omelets and sandwiches, and all are at very reasonable prices. They may also serve smaller and cheaper children’s portions. Note that many American restaurants are “specialty” restaurants. They may serve only, or mainly, steaks, sea food, etc.

When to Eat

Many restaurants, especially the more expensive ones, open at about 11:30 a.m. (midday, rather than 1 p.m., is the most normal time for lunch in the USA), and some remain open until the evening, so it is possible to order a meal throughout the afternoon. In many areas, it is usual for people to leave work and go out for an evening male at 5 p.m. or 6 p.m., rather than waiting until later.

Reserving a Table

Eating out is rather popular in the USA, and it is often necessary to make a reservation. You will sometimes see short lines of people waiting for tables at restaurants- it is more pleasant to wait in the bar, of course, if there is one- but in fact the lines move very quickly.

Arriving at the Restaurant

When you arrive at most restaurants, you should not just go in and sit down- unless you see a sign, saying “Please seat yourself”. Usually you will have to wait for a “host” or “hostess” to lead you to a table. Often there will be a sign that reads, “Please wait to be seated”. Do not expect to share a table with other parties, even if the restaurant is crowded. It is just not done.

Fast food, a mainstay of American eating for decades, may have reached a plateau in the Un
ited States as the maturing baby-boom generation looks for a more varied menu. Fast food still represents a .$ 102 billion a year industry, but growth has turned sluggish recently amid tough competition from retail food stores and a more affluent population willing to try new things and spend more, analysts say. Signs of trouble in fast food include price-cutting by industry leaders, including efforts by McDonald's to attract customers with a 55 cent hamburger, and major players pulling out or selling. O'Pepsico, for example, is selling its fast-food restaurant division that includes Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and KFC.

"It's becoming harder and harder for these firms to grow," said Jim Brown, a professor of marketing at Virginia Tech University. "I think in the United States fast food has reached a saturation (饱和) point because of the number of competitors and the number of outlets."

Fast-food restaurant revenues grew 2. 5 percent in 1996, according to industry figures, the slowest since the recession of 1991. That is for cry from(大不相同于)the levels of the 1970s and 1980s. According to the Food Marketing Institute, consumers are using supermarkets for 21 percent of take-home food, nearly double the level of a year ago. While fast-food restaurants still lead, their share slipped significantly, from 48 percent in 1996 to 41 percent in 1997.

"Consumers have never been more demanding than they are today," said Michael Sansolo, senior vice president of the Supermarket Trade Group. "They are pressed for time. Money is still an issue…but their tastes are increasingly diverse--whether it's gourmet foods, ethnic foods or organic offerings."

Meanwhile, the aging of the baby-boom population--and the growth in the number of so-called "empty nesters" with grown children--has meant a surge in the number of people willing to spend more for upscale items. This generation "will have the luxury of being more discriminating" as their children leave home, notes Harry Balzer, vice president of the Chicago-based NPD consulting group. Balzer said some 18 million baby boomers will become empty-nesters in the next l 0 years, leaving them with more disposable income to spend on dining out. "Fast and cheap will still be driving factors.., but our definitions of fast and cheap may be changing."

Various reports suggest industry leader McDonald's is struggling, losing market share, with lower same-store sales while cutting back the number of new outlets in the United States, partly due to pressure from franchisers who don't want to be squeezed. The company replaced the head of its 12,000 US restaurant chain last October amid a slump in US market share.

What does the passage mainly tell about?

A.Fast food disappoints consumers.

B.People prefer less expensive food.

C.McDonald's dominates the market of fast food.

D.Fast food is losing its attraction.

第10题

根据下列短文,回答下列各题。 Imagine waking up and finding the value of your assets has
been halved. No, youre not an investor in one of those hedge funds that failed completely. With the dollar slumping to a 26-year low against the pound, already- expensive London has become quite unaffordable. A coffee at Starbucks, just as unavoidable in England as it is in the United States, runs about $8. The once all-powerful dollar isnt doing a Titanic against just the pound. It is sitting at a record low against the euro and at a 30-year low against the Canadian dollar. Even the Argentine peso and Brazilian real are thriving against the dollar. The weak dollar is a source of humiliation (屈辱), for a nations self-esteem rests in part on the strength of its currency. Its also a potential economic problem, since a declining dollar makes imported food more expensive and exerts upward pressure on interest rates. And yet there are substantial sectors of the vast U.S. economy--from giant companies like Coca-Cola to morn-and-pop restaurant operators in Miami--for which the weak dollar is most excellent news. Many Europeans may view the U.S. as an arrogant superpower that has become hostile to foreigners. But nothing makes people think more warmly of the U.S. than a weak dollar. Through April, the total number of visitors from abroad was up 6.8 percent from last year. Should the trend continue, the number of tourists this year will finally top the 2000 peak. Many Europeans now apparently view the U.S. the way many Americans view Mexico--as a cheap place to vacation, shop and party, all while ignoring the fact that the poorer locals cant afford to join the merrymaking. The money tourists spend helps decrease our chronic trade deficit. So do exports, which, thanks in part to the weak dollar, soared 11 percent between May 2006 and May 2007. For the first five months of 2007, the trade deficit actually fell 7 percent from 2006. If you own shares in large American corporations, youre a winner in the weak-dollsr gamble. Last week Coca-Colas stock bubbled to a five-year high after it reported a fantastic quarter. Foreign sales accounted for 65 percent of Cokes beverage (饮料) business. Other American companies profiting from this trend include McDonalds and IBM. American tourists, however, shouldnt expect any relief soon. The dollar lost strength the way many marriages break up--slowly, and then all at once. And currencies dont turn on a dime. So if you want to avoid the pain inflicted by the increasingly pathetic dollar, cancel that summer vacation to England and look to New England. There, the dollar is still treated with a little respect. Why do Americans feel humiliated?

A.Their economy is plunging.

B.Their currency has slumped.

C.They cant afford trips to Europe.

D.They have lost half of their assets.
