Since I moved to London, I have noticed that the image（形象、印象）of McDonald's in London isn't the same as that in China.

    In China, McDonald's is a trendy（时尚的）western food restaurant and it's quite expensive. However, in the UK, many people think McDonald's produces cheap and bad quality food.

    Once I suggested to a British friend of mine whether we could have dinner in McDonald's. He said "No. Let's eat some proper food. No junk food." Another time I asked a British friend of mine to have a drink in a McDonald's nearby. He said "Oh, no. I am wearing a suit. We had better find a decent（得体的）place." It seems for many British people, especially middle class people, going to McDonald's means losing face. They would rather go to some nicer restaurants and tip the waiters than go to McDonald's for some cheap quick food.

    Who is eating at McDonald's then? The McDonald's restaurants i11 London are always full of people. I have noticed that many people dining in McDonald's are students and people from the working class. Of course there are a lot of international visitors too.

    I don't have anything against McDonald's. That's why I still go to McDonald's from time to time and most importantly, I can use the Wi-Fi in McDonald's for free when I am travelling.

"Can I see my baby?" the happy new mother asked.

When the baby was in her arms and she looked upon his tiny face, she shocked. The doctor

turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.

Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was marred (损伤). When he rushed home from school one day and took himself into his mother's arms, she was very sad, knowing that his classmates gave him heartbreaks because of his defect. The little boy cried.

He grew up and was handsome. As a favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for this defect. He had a talent for literature and music.

"But you might be like other young people," his mother was sad but felt a kindness in her heart.

The boy's father thought "Could nothing be done'?"

    "I believe I could graft（移植） on a pair of ears, if someone offered," the doctor decided. Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, "You're going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it's a secret."

The operation was successful, and a new person emerged (出现）.

One day, he asked his father, "Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her."

"I do not believe you could," said the father, "but the agreement was that you are not to

know...not yet."

The secret was kept for years, but the day did come. His mother died. Slowly, the father raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal the mother had no outer ears.

"Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut," his father whispered gently, "and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful, did they?"
