分析 短文主要讲了美国麦当劳生意变得不好，但出现了新的餐厅Shake Shack．
解答 61．choosing，when后省略了主语Americans和系动词are，故这里应用choosing．
62．restaurants，one of 后应用可数名词的复数形式，故这里应用restaurants．
63．but，前后两句为转折意味，故应用转折连词but．
64．eighth，句意：全球销量连续下降至第八个月，它甚至比预期的更槽糕．故这里应用序数词eighth．
65．working，主语为Shake Shack，其与动词之间应是主动关系，又空前有is，故这里应用working．
66．to reach，want to do sth，故答案应是to reach．
67．a，a kind of为固定搭配，意思是"一种…"．
68．As/When/While，句意：当麦当劳正在努力拉回头客时，动摇小室已经做得非常好了．故应选择连词as/when/while．
69．successful，IPO为名词IPO，故应用形容词successful来修饰它．
70．On，on its first day为固定短语，意思是"在第一天"．
