When I was in high school and college, I went to fast food restaurants pretty often. Even until today, fast food is a popular choice among students. So, what makes fast food restaurants really popular year after year?

The food is not very expensive. 1. So, it is good to get something delicious to eat and still have some money left for a movie later.

Nowadays, many fast food restaurants open till late nights. 2.Most teenagers go there also because other boys and girls are there. It is fun to be there, as seen in fast food TV advertisements. It is cool.

3.You can just order fries or you can also mix and match with plenty of choices, such as coke with French fries, sundae with apple pies, salad with burgers. And managers there will not stare at you for reading there for hours if you just order French fries and a cup of coke.

4. They can have group discussions of school projects, small talk and even birthday celebrations.

You can try telling them some fast food is unhealthy, but I doubt if youngsters will listen. 5.Some of them go to a fast restaurant every week. The food there is cheap, delicious, and served fast.

A.Fast food does not have to be bad for you.

B.Many teenagers do not have much money.

C.Fast food is still popular with many of them.

D.At fast food restaurants, you choose what you want.

E.Today, fast food restaurants are offering healthier food.

F.A fast food restaurant is a good place for some activities for teenagers.

G.So, these places are comfortable and safe to hang out during late nights.

九年级英语阅读单选困难题查看答案及解析

As usual, Amber was hurrying to catch the yellow school bus. Luckily the traffic lights turned green as she was to cross the road, so she made it. When the bus passed the golden arches(拱形门) of McDonald’s, they reminded her of a hamburger. She hadn’t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn’t look delicious at all. However, Amber remembered that she was still on a diet. So now she was really in a black mood.

You may have noticed that several colors were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber’s morning. In fact, colors influence your life more than you can ever imagine. Take language for example: You may describe a sick person as being “a bit green”. To describe a depressed(沮丧的) person, you say that the person is “feeling blue”. In short, colors do add interest to daily conversations.

Besides, colors can be used in many parts of your daily life. Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow, and stop signs red? Since yellow is the most eye-catching color, it can catch people’s attention, especially in heavy traffic. As for red, it is the color which usually shows warning, as a result, some traffic signs use this color. For the same reason, hot-water taps are usually marked red.

The colors of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat. Most fast-food restaurants are often decorated in bright colors such as red, yellow, orange, and white for the purpose of increasing people’s appetites(胃口). This is because bright colors are natural colors found in many foods, and, therefore, able to raise people’s spirits. Blue, in comparison with bright colors, is said to lower people’s appetites because few foods are blue in nature. For those who are on a diet, blue dishes and bowls might help!

“Morning, Amber! What happened? You look a bit green,” said Violet, Amber’s best friend.

“Nothing … just feeling … blue,” said Amber.

“Hey! Come to my place tonight. Do you know what I just bought? A Wii! It’s red-hot.”

Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play with the Wii and said, “Sounds great!”

1.According to the passage, if you are on a diet, ________ might help.

A.putting your food in a blue dish or bowl

B.turning on a yellow light during the meal

C.painting the walls of the dining table with an orange cloth

D.covering the dining table with an orange cloth

2.Most school buses are painted yellow because ________.

A.it tells other drivers to prepare to stop B.it helps bus drivers stay in a good mood

C.it can easily catch other people’s attention D.it is the color that most school

3.Which of the following statements is true?

A.Amber looked ill when Violet saw her first.

B.Amber ate up all her fruit salad in the morning.

C.Amber refused to go to Violet’s house in the end.

D.Amber didn’t catch the school bus and was late for school.

4.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A.Colors influence people’s daily lives.

B.Most fast-food restaurants are painted grey.

C.Different colors are used for different purposes.

D.Colors make daily conversations more interesting.

5.What can we infer(推断) from the passage?

A.Amber was not fat at all.

B.Amber cheered up at Violet’s invitation at last.

C.Violet didn’t know how colors influenced our lives.

D.Arches of McDonald’s are painted gold only to make them beautiful.

Andy was born in China 17 years ago. In 2007, she went to the USA with her family. As a high school student, she has found many differences between Chinese and Americans:

About money

Americans like to spend more than they have, so many of them are always in debt(欠债). But Chinese usually spend less than they have, so many of them always have money left in the bank.

The American kids themselves make their own money. Most Chinese kids always ask their parents for money.

About education

Many American students have less homework to do while many Chinese students have much.

Many American girls take part in sports, dancing and singing groups while many Chinese girls take part in study groups.

Many American parents think there is no need to send their children to an expensive school. It’s different in China. Many Chinese parents would do anything to send their children to expensive schools though their family isn’t rich enough.

About friends

Most American parents let their sons or daughters make friends by themselves. They never ask them about their friends while Chinese parents usually enjoy knowing more about their children’s friends in many different ways, and usually stop them from staying out too late with friends.
