This is not the first time that McDonald’s has let Chinese customers down. According to a CCTV program on World Consumer Rights Day (消费者权益保护日) on March 15, a McDonald’s restaurant in Beijing sold chicken wings 90 minutes after they were c2.. The company’s rules set a 30-minute limit. What’s more, some workers changed desserts’ expiration dates (保质期) or e3. put them into a new bag or box to sell them again.

McDonald’s China wrote a l4. of apology on their official micro blog (微博) soon after the program. “McDonald’s China pays great attention to this. We will immediately look into this accident, deal with it seriously and take practical actions to apologize to consumers. We’ll try our best to p5. healthy and safe food,” it said.

The program also exposed (曝光) some other companies that went against consumers’ rights. For example, Carrefour sold normal chickens as more expensive free-range (散养的) ones, and China Telecom s6. junk text (垃圾文本) messages to users’ phones.

3 If you find there’s a p7. with your goods, call 12315 or go to your local Consumer Association for help.

Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答问题）

Mary Donaldson is worried about her 16-year-old daughter, Sophia. Six months ago, Sophia came back from a party, upset and unhappy. From then on, she thought of nothing but how to lose weight and become beautiful. She refused to eat and kept on doing exercise. Sophia had always been a little heavy, so when she decided to go on a diet, Mary encouraged her. She felt that her daughter would look more attractive if she lost 10 kilograms. However, Sophia has lost 20 kilograms until now. Her eating and exercising habits are having a harmful effect on her health. She is too thin and is often sick.

Her mother is trying to prevent her from going on a diet and losing weight, but Sophia thinks that she is still too heavy and refuses to eat as usual. Sophia’s mind is full of the idea of looking like a model（模特）. Every day she goes to a club to do exercise. When she is not there, she spends her time reading magazines like “Fashion & Beauty”（《时尚与美》）. The models in these magazines are very thin and beautiful. Sophia says, “If I look like models, I will be happy and all the boys will like me.”

Mary doesn’t know how to help her daughter. She feels sorry for having encouraged her at first, because Sophia no longer feels good or pleased with her body. She’s afraid that Sophia will never be happy if she keeps comparing herself with the models in the magazines. Mary tries to tell Sophia that true beauty comes from within. Common people are not supposed to look like models. The most ordinary face becomes beautiful when the person is filled with confidence, wisdom and the joy of life.

1.When did Sophia decide to lose weight?

2.Besides doing exercise, what else did Sophia do to lose weight?

3.How much weight has Sophia lost until now?

4.Does Sophia eat as usual after she has lost some weight?

5.Why does she spend much time reading the magazine “Fashion & Beauty ”?

6.Do you think Sophia really understands the meaning of the true beauty?　 Why?
