Western restaurant menus are quite different from Chinese restaurant menus. But how are they different? Most western restaurant menus do not have as many pictures as Chinese ones do. In some fancy(昂贵的) western restaurants, the menus might not have any pictures at all. But most western menus show a list of ingredients( 原 料 ) for each dish. If you order a burger, the menu might tell you that the burger has cheese, ketchup(番茄酱) and mustard(芥末). The menu can also tell you how the food is cooked — for example, whether it is fried or steamed(蒸). Western restaurants use many different methods to design(设计) their menus and make them more attractive(有吸引力的). In fact, there is a whole industry called“menu engineering”, according to the BBC. Menu engineers are experts at designing menus. Their menus can increase sales and influence customers’(顾客) thoughts. A well-designed menu can encourage customers to eat certain dishes. It can even make them believe that your restaurant's food is of higher quality(品质), even if they haven't eaten the food yet. For example, using descriptive(描述性 的) words like“juicy” or“cheesey” can help dishes sell better. Instead of just writing“steak(牛排)” in their menu, a restaurant might write“sizzling steak”. This makes the steak sound more delicious. Also, it is known that people pay the most attention to(最注意) items placed at the top of a page. This is the best place for dishes that you want to promote. As you can see, menus are not just simple lists of food! 15. Western menus don't have as many as Chinese menus. A. ingredients B. cooking ways C. pictures D. cooks' names 16.

It is easy to design a successful Western menu. B. A well-designed menu can attract(吸引) more customers. C. Good menus depend on how dishes are described. D. Dishes at the top of a menu page are the most delicious ones.
