Protests (抗议) at the use of animals in research have taken on a new and fearful character in Britain with the attempted murder of two British scientists by the terrorist (恐怖分子的) technique of the pre-planted car–bomb .

The research community (社团) will rightly be alarmed at these developments which have two aims :to draw public attention and to frighten people working in research with animals . The scientists insist that everything should be done to identify those responsible for the crimes and to put them on trial . The Defense Research Society has taken the practical step of offering a reward of £10，000 for information leading to those responsible , but past experience is not encouraging . People are unlikely to be attracted by such offers . The professional police will similarly be challenged by the problem of finding a needle in a haystack .

That is why the intellectual (知识分子) community in Britain and elsewhere must act more strongly in its own defense . There are several steps that can be taken , of which the chief one is to demand of all the organizations that exist with the declared aims of defending the interests of animals that they should declare clearly where they stand on violence towards people . And it will not be enough for the chairman and chairwoman of these organizations to make placatory (安抚的) statements on behalf of all their members . These people should also promise that it will be a test of continuing membership in their organizations that members and would-be members should declare that they will take no part in acts of violence against human beings .

In 1939 two brothers , Mac and Dick DmcDonald , started a drive –in restaurant in Sna Bemadino , California . They carefully chose a busy corner for their location . They had run their own businesses for years , first a theater , then a barbecue restaurant , then a barbecue restaurant , then another drive-in . But in their new operation , they offered a new , shortened menu: French fries , hamburgers , and sodas . To this minimal selection they added one new concept : quick service , o waiters or waitresses , and no tips .

Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents . Cheese was another four cents . Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity (相同性) , for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food , and they insisted on their cook’s sticking to the routine . Their new drive-in became incredibly (非常地) popular , particularly for lunch . People rove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime . The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened ; they were content with this small success until they met Ray Kroc .

Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milk shake mixing machines . He quickly saw the unmatched appeal of the brother’s fast food restaurant and bought the right to franchise (出售特许权) other copies of their restaurants . The agreement signed included the right to copy the men , the equipment , and even their red and white buildings with the golden arches .

Twenty years after the day Ray Kroc watched people rush up to order fifteen –cent hamburgers , McDonalds had over $ 1 billion in total sales a year . today McDonalds is a world famous name . Its first twenty-two years is one of the most incredible success stories I modern　 American business history .
