Fast-Food Chains You Won’t Find in America

Fast food and America can’t be separated: McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell, KFC, Chick-fil-A, Popeyes——the list of popular American fast-food chains goes on and on. But there are some fast-food restaurants that you cannot find in America. These are the secrets fast-food workers aren't telling you.

Quick

With the perfect name for a fast-food restaurant, Quick is located in France and is fundamentally the French version of McDonald's or Burger King （ though they have those there, too!)  . Quick's Giant sandwich is similar to a McDonald's Big Mac.

Hesburger

This fast-food chain originated in Finland. It's pretty similar to McDonalds and Burger King except for a few unique items such as the Oat and Bean burger and Soy Tortilla.

Max Burgers

If you're in Sweden and want a quick and delicious burger, stop by a Max Burgers. They were one of the first burger chains in Europe and their stores continue to perform better than both McDonalds and Burger King in Sweden.

Abrakebabra

Ireland's Abrakebabra has your traditional fast-food burgers found in McDonald's and Burger King, but they also have kebabs, falafels, baguettes, and pitas. Apart from delicious fries, other sides you can get include beer-battered onion rings, hummus and pita, and cocktail sausages.

Chicken Cottage

You probably already guessed it from the name, but Chicken Cottage is a fast-food chain that started in North London that specializes in chicken. One unique item on their menu is the Lamb Burger, a quarter pound of lamb topped with cheese, a slice of gherkin, onion, lettuce, and burger sauce all on a sesame seed bun. Before heading to the drive-through, make sure you avoid these fast-food items you should never order.

I suppose it started when a private message appeared in my Facebook Messenger inbox. It was from a woman I met briefly through a friend. It said : "Hey, girlfriend. Want to invite you to join my next challenge group — we'll be focusing on fitting in 30 minutes of exercise, balanced nutrition and motivation. Let me help you reach your goals!"

I laughed it off and closed my browser(浏览器)but the meaning behind the message stuck with me all day. The more the days went on, the heavier her message weighed on me. The insecurity about my body was brought to life by one little Facebook message. That got me thinking about social media in general and how it took up too much of my time.

I tried to remember what life was like without Facebook. Surfing the Internet was an occasional distraction (       ) and I spent a lot more time reading. I printed out photos and put them in albums. Checking in with friends happened through texts, e-mails or phone calls. Was life easier then than it is now? In an effort to both recreate the simplicity of those days and set a healthier example for my son, I closed my Facebook account.

I felt lost at first. However, leaving Facebook left my mind quiet enough to remember a few important things. My body is fine just the way it is : Though fat, I am healthy. My close friends will text or call me if they are struggling. Our happy moments as a family were strengthened because I was completely present and the break left me feeling better about myself, my family and my life.

After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. I looked in on a daily basis, but only once with little desire to post as much as I once did. Facebook is not an addiction any more.

24. Why does the author mention the woman's message?

A. To introduce a challenge group.                B. To prove the benefit of Facebook.

C. To indicate many people care about her.          D. To show the effect of social media on her.

25. How did the author feel after reading the message ?

A. Excited.             B. Relaxed.                C. Happy.              D. Upset.

26. How did the author set a good example for her child?

A. She spent more time reading.                   B. Sheshared more with friends.

C. She closed her Facebook account.               D. Shebegan to work out every day.

27. What can we know about the author?

A. She is unhealthy.                             B. She looks a little fat.

C. She is addicted to Facebook.                    D. Shedoesn't like taking exercise.

C

A recent study shows that the widespread idea that children have different learning styles is of little benefit to children's learning.

The researchers made a questionnaire about people's attitudes towards learning styles. Over 90 percent of participants said they believed in various learning styles. They agreed that some kids pick up information better when it's presented visually, but others physically or by listening. And around half of the people tested said they believed that we are born with learning styles that can easily be identified and passed down from parents. Despite the long-standing theory, there is no evidence to suggest tailoring a personas learning experience to their self-reported learning style helps them to pick up information, the study found.

Shaylene Nancekivell, a researcher of the study, told Newsweek: “I am very concerned that parents and educators may be wasting money and time using ineffective learning tools. The popularity of the wrong idea about learning styles means that it is very easy to spend money and time on programs that may not be helping children learn."

Professor Paul Kirschner told Newsweek: " The real problem is that the theory of learning styles robs children of opportunities to learn by branding them as belonging to a specific group that cannot do certain things. It's also a good excuse for parents to blame teachers and schools for their children's poor study habits and for schools and teachers to blame makers of learning materials."

Asked to comment on the limitations of the new study, Dr. Angel Urbina-Garcia, a lecturer at the

U. K. 's University of Hull who was not involved in the research, told Newsweek : “ It is a good study although not outstanding given the small sample （样本）.”

28. Which of the following ideas about learning styles is most widely accepted?

A. They have been formed since born.

B. They can help predict a child's future.

C. They can be passed down from parents.

D. They differ from person to person.

29. What is Shaylene Nancekivell concerned about?

A. The waste of money and time on improper learning tools.

B. The education level of parents and educators.

C. The beliefs of participants about learning styles.

D. The degree of students' academic devotion.

30. Why does the new study have its limitation?

A. People are paid to collect information.

B. Only male volunteers answer the questionnaire.

C. Not many participants are interviewed.

D. Age is not considered in the study.

31. What's the main idea of the text?

A. Classifying children to groups may undervalue their abilities.

B. The theory of learning styles doesn't help children learn.

C. Scientists suggest adjusting teaching methods to learning styles.

D. Children get into bad study habits because of learning styles.

D

Most dog owners are convinced that their four-legged friends know exactly what they mean when they use certain words. However, researchers have always wondered whether they really understand human speech or if they rely on other ways to know the meaning. A new study by scientists at Atlantans Emory University seems to indicate that " man's best friend" does know what the owner is saying.

To get data from the dogs themselves—not just the reports from their owners, the researchers asked the owners of twelve dogs to train their pets to identify two toys with different materials by name. Once the dogs had mastered the task, they took turns inside an MRI （磁共振成像仪）.The owners then tested their dogs by first calling out the names of the toys they had been trained to recognize and then saying meaningless words such as "bobbu" and " bodmick" while holding up random objects the dogs hadn’t seen before.

The MRI scans showed that certain areas of the dogs, brains showed different brain patterns when they heard words they were familiar with, compared with the ones they had never heard before. While not enough to prove that the dogs were picturing their toys when they heard the word, it did indicate some sort of recognition. The researchers believe this is an important step forward in understanding how dogs process language.

Even more interesting was that the dog's brains showed a higher level of neural （神经的）activity at the sound of unknown words. This is the exact opposite of what happens in human brains, which get more active at the sound of familiar

words. The researchers assume the dogs may perk up at the sound of new words to try to understand them in the hope of delighting their masters.

“ When teaching their dog a trick, people often use words because that's what we humans prefer, ” Prichard, the writer of the study, says. " From the dog's view, however, a visual command might be more effective, helping the dog learn the trick faster."

32. What should dog owners do in the experiments?

A. Take turns to train dogs.                     B. Train dogs to recognize toys.

C. Teach dogs meaningless words.               D. Get dogs excited using commands.

33. What does the underlined phrase “perk up” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Become active.                            B. Get tired.

C. Feel satisfied.                             D. Look surprised.

34. What might be the researchers, advice for dog trainers?

A. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

B. Teaching dogs with toys is more effective.

C. Using words to train dogs is the best policy.

D. Training dogs with visual orders is a good way.

35. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Dogs Do Understand Their Owners

B. Dogs Are Proved to Have Speech Ability

C. Dogs Have Special Ways to Recognize Toys

D. Dogs Have the Ability to Recognize Owners

You can't choose your family, but you can decide how your family members will influence your life. To make a good life without family support, you will want to expand your circle of friends and acquaintances. 36 Spend less time with negative people, including your family.
