There were two McDonalds—Mac and Dick—and they were brothers. In 1948, they owned a restaurant in California, they liked working in the restaurant, but they got tired of the customers ordering so many different things to eat.
― If we gave customers a smaller menu, we could make some of the food before they came, and they wouldn’t have to wait so long for their meals,‖ said one of the brothers. The other brother agreed and said, ― And if we made the customers come to the counter, we wouldn’t need any waiters or waitresses. We could also use plastic plates so there wouldn’t be any washing-up.‖
These were such good ideas that McDonald brothers used them, and the customers were very pleased. They got their meals very quickly—in less than a minute—and they paid only 15 cents for hamburgers and 10 cents for fries. The first McDonald’s restaurant had no seats for customers to sit on. This meant that people had to take their food away, and that no one had to clean up any tables after them.
Then a man called Ray Kroc came to the brothers and asked to buy their business. They agreed to sell it to him for＄27 million. After that, people paid Ray Kroc to open their own restaurants using the McDonald’s name and menu. Before long, there were McDonald’s restaurants all over the United States, and nowadays, they are all over the world—even in China and Russia. The most successful McDonald’s business is in Hong Kong of China. The Hong Kong McDonald’s sells more hamburgers every day than any other McDonald’s anywhere else in the world.
McDonald’s restaurants are so successful because children love going to them. They like the food, and they like the toys and games they can get at McDonald’s.
( ) 76. The McDonald brothers offered customers fewer kinds of foods so that _____.
A. they didn’t need waiters or waitresses
B. they could use plastic plates
C. customers could get their meals quickly
D. customers would pay less.
( ) 77. Customers ―paid only 15 cents for hamburgers‖ means the hamburgers were___.
A expensive B. new C. cheap D. worth a lot less
( ) 78. The first McDonald’s customers took their food away because_____.
A. They wanted to eat it quicklyB. they did not want a large menu
C. There were no seats in the restaurant
D. they wanted to eat at home
( ) 79. Nowadays, the owners of McDonald’s restaurants pay for ____.
A. the McDonald’s name and menu B. children to play games
C. people to take the food away D. customers to eat quickly
( ) 80.This story mainly tells us ____.

A
I shook hands with my father in the truck, and for a long time he looked straight ahead and didn’t say a word. But I knew he was going to say a little to me. “I can’t tell anything,” he finally said. “I never went to college, and none of your brothers went to college. I can’t say don’t do this and do that, because everything is different and I don’t know what is going to come up. I can’t help much with money either, but I think things will work out. ”
He gave me a new check-book. “If things get pushing, write a small check. But when you write one, send me a letter and let me know how much. There are some things we can always sell.” In four years all the checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars.

“You know what you want to be, and they’ll tell you what to take,” my father went on. “When you get a job, be sure it’s honest, and work hard.” I knew that soon I would be alone in the big town, and I would be missing the cool winds and a life where your thinking was done for you.
Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old, broken Bible that he had read so often, the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbours. I knew he would miss it. I knew, though, that I must take it.
He didn’t tell me to read this every morning. He just said, “This can help you if you will let it.”Did it help? I got through college without being a burden on the family. I have been able to make money since.

I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.
“See what I can do?” he said with pride. “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.. ”
