Nothing could be more shameful for McDonald’s and KFC. They are violating labour’s rights. The government must immediately bring the guilty to justice. A stricter government inspection system must be enforced to protect the workers.
Nathan 2007-03-28 21:39
It is known that McDonald’s and KFC and other fast-food restaurants pay the lowest wage they possibly can to get their employees. I think it’s kind of funny that these two restaurants have not yet set up unions. It is also known that they also take every possible measure e(legal, and sometimes illegal) to prevent their employees from forming or joining unions. I think it is high time that government enforced the law that they have made.
Cushman 2007-03-28 22:32
The deepest reason is that China has a large population. If you complain that the pay is very low, the boss will tell you that can go to other places and that there are a lot of people waiting for the job. Today finding a job is not very easy, so you don’t have many choices, and you have to face the reality.
Chip 2007-03-29 20:33
If wages were too low, people wouldn’t work for them, but they do, so it proves the wages are reasonable. Sure, they could raise the wages, but why should they? The workers are still working, still willing to show up on time, and it keeps costs lower. Were they to raise wages, they would have to FIRE more workers, and the price of burgers would go up. Then people wouldn’t buy them, then McDonald’s would once again FIRE more workers because of a reduced demand, and you’d be back in the same boat, just with less people working.
What are they debating about?
A．McDonald’s and KFC pay too low a salary to their employees.
B．Setting up a social security system.
C．Fast-food restaurants have no rights to fire workers.
D．McDonald’s and KFC will be punished for their behaviour.
According to Chip, it is____for McDonald’s and KFC to give employees a low salary.
A．unacceptable B．shameful C．acceptable D．illegal
In the opinion of Cushman, the key to the problem is that____.
A．the social security net has not been set up
B．China has too large a population
C．the government has not taken stronger steps to protect workers
D．the unions have not played an important part to raise the wages.
The underlined word “they” in Nathan’s words refers to____.
A．the employees B．governments
C．all the restaurants D．fast-food restaurants

I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I’m in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, “I’m having a dinner party” means “I’m booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can’t afford and we’ll be sharing the cheque evenly, no matter what you eat.”
Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They’ll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout “Where are you going?” And it’s not like I can say I have somewhere to go : everyone knows I have nowhere to go.
But in London, dinner parties are in people’s homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India, Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations. In New York, the mix is less striking. It’s like a gathering at Bloomingdale’s, a well-known department store.
For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But at Mallery’s, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club.
1.What does the word “shot” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Choice. B．Try. C．Style. D．Goal.
2.What does the author dislike most about dinner parties in New York?
A．There is a strange mix of people. B．The restaurant are expensive.
C．The bill is not fairly shared. D．People have to pay cash.
3.What does the author think of the parties in London?
A．A bit unusual. B．Full of tricks.
C．Less costly. D．More interesting.
4.What is the author’s opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience?
A．Easygoing.. B．Self-centred.
C．Generous. D．Conservative.
5.What is the main idea of this article?
A．The author hated dinner parties.
B．The author prefer dinner parties in London to those in New York.
C．The difference between London and New York.
D．Mallery invited the author to a party.

On November18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the world famous violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Lincoln Centre in New York City. If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is not easy for him. He got polio（小儿麻痹症）as a child, and has to walk with the aid of two crutches（拐杖）now.
That night Perlman walked slowly to his chair. Then he sat down and began to play. But, suddenly, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it break---it broke with a loud noise.
People thought to themselves, “He would have to get up to either find another violin or find another string for this one.”
But he didn’t. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again. The orchestra（管弦乐队）began, and he played from where he had stopped. He played with such passion and such power.
Of course, everyone knows that it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings. But that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that. You could see him changing and recomposing（重新作曲）the piece in his head.
When he finished, there was a silence in the room. Then people rose and cheered. We were all on our feet, doing everything we could to show how much we appreciated what he had done.
He smiled and then he said in a quiet tone, “You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can make with what you have left.”
His words have stayed in my mind ever since I heard them. That is also the way of life. Perhaps our task in this quickly changing world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.
1.Holding a concert is challenging for Perlman because ______.
A. he is just a world famous violinist
B. he has never performed on stage before
C. he is physically disabled as a result of a disease
D. he has difficulty in moving his body
2.When Perlman had just begun playing, ______.
A. there was something wrong with the violin
B. he fell ill suddenly
C. an accident happened and caused a disturbance
D. a very loud noise arose from the audience
3. If one of the strings suddenly broke, what would an ordinary player do?
A. He would cancel the concert. B. He would play another violin.
C. Another performer would play instead. D. The concert would be put off.
4.The audience rose and cheered ______.
A. to show they are satisfied with Perlman’s performance
B. to thank the orchestra for their passionate performance
C. to ask Perlman for another performance
D. to express their appreciation of Perlman’s creative mind
5. The lesson we draw from the story is that ______.
A. we should make the best of what we have
B. what we have is more important than what is lost
C. we should not care about what is lost
D. the way of life is to always live with music
