COME AND EAT HERE
Wang Peng sat in his empty restaurant feeling very frustrated.It had been a very strange morning.Usually he got up early and prepared his menu of barbecued mutton kebabs,roast pork,stir-fried vegetables and fried rice.Then by lunchtime they would all be sold.By now his restaurant ought to1 be full of people.But not today! Why was that? What could have happened?He thought of his mutton,beef and bacon2 cooked in the hottest,finest oil.His cola was sugary and cold,and his ice cream was made of milk,cream and delicious fruit.“Nothing could be better,” he thought.Suddenly he saw his friend Li Chang hurrying by.“Hello,Lao Li,” he called.“Your usual?” But Li Chang seemed not to hear.What was the matter?Something terrible must have happened if Li Chang was not coming to eat in his restaurant as he always did.
Wang Peng followed Li Chang into a new small restaurant.He saw a sign at the door.
Tired of all that fat?Want to lose weight3?
Come inside Yong Hui’s slimming4 restaurant.
Only slimming foods served here.
Make yourself thin again!
Curiosity5 drove Wang Peng inside.It was full of people.The hostess6,a very thin lady,came forward.“Welcome,” she said.“My name is Yong Hui.I’ll help you lose weight and be fit in two weeks if you eat here every day.” Then she gave a menu to Wang Peng.There were few choices of food and drink on it: just rice,raw vegetables served in vinegar,fruit and water.Wang Peng was amazed at this and especially at the prices.It cost
more than a good meal in his restaurant!He could not believe his eyes.He threw down the menu and hurried outside.On his way home he thought about his own menu.Did it make people fat?Perhaps he should go to the library and find out.He could not have Yong Hui getting away with telling people lies!He had better do some research!(节选自人教版老教材必修3 Unit 2)
