　　There are two McDonalds－Mac and Dick－and they are brothers. They like working in their restaurant(饭店), but they get tired of the customers(顾客) ordering so many different things to eat.

　　“If we give customers a smaller menu(菜单), we can make some of the food before they come, and they needn't wait so long for their meals.” says one of the brothers. The other brother says “yes”. He says, “If we can make the customers come to the counter(柜台), we don't need any waiters or waitresses. We can also use plastic(塑料的) plates.”

　　McDonald brothers begin to use these good ideas, and the customers are very pleased. They get their meals very quickly－in less than(不到) a minute－and they pay only 15 cents(分) for hamburgers and 10 cents for fries. The first McDonald's restaurant had no seats for customers to sit on. People take their food away and no one has to clean up any tables after them.

　　Then a man called Ray Kroc comes to the brothers and asks to buy their business. They agree to sell it to him for $27 million(百万). After that, people pay Ray Kroc to open their own restaurants using the McDonald's name. Before long(不久以后), there are McDonald's restaurants all over the USA, and now, they are all over the world－even in China. The most successful(成功的) McDonald's business is in HK, China.

　　It was a cold wet night. The taxi driver hadn't had any passenger all day. When he went by the bus station, he saw a young man from the country coming out, carrying two big bags. “Aha!” thought the taxi driver. “Here's the right person to make good this bad day.” He quickly stopped the taxi and opened the door.

　　Driver：Where do you want to go, sir?

　　Young Man：To the Park Hotel.

　　The taxi driver felt very sorry when he heard that. The Park Hotel was hardly two kilometers away. The young man would give him fifty cents(美分) at most. Only fifty cents! Then he had an idea of taking the young man by a longer way－going all around the city and then back to the Park Hotel. This he did, and after a long time the taxi arrived at the hotel at last.

　　Driver：You should pay me fifteen dollars, sir. Young Man：What? Fifteen dollars? Do you think I'm a fool? You're trying to cheat(欺骗)me.

　　Driver：How can you say I…

　　Young Man：You must think I don't know my way around.

　　Driver：But…

　　Young Man：Only last week I took a taxi from the station to this hotel, I know how much I should pay.

　　Driver：Oh…Oh…all right. Now…now look…oh…

　　Young Man：I think I should call the policeman.

　　Driver：Oh, no! Please don't do that! I have four hungry children and my wife is ill in bed.

　　Young Man：All right! This time I'll forget it.

　　Driver：Oh, thank you, sir. And you are right. You needn't pay that much.

　　Young Man：You don't have to tell me that. I come from the country, but I'm as clever as you city people.

　　Driver：Yes, sir.

　　Young Man：I just won't he cheated. I won't pay you a cent more than I paid the other taxi last week…thirteen dollars!
