    　　There were two McDonalds-Mac and Dick-and they were brothers. In 1948, they owned a restaurant in California. They liked working in the restaurant, but they got tired of the customers ordering so many different things to eat.

    　　“If we gave customers a smaller menu, we could make some of the food before they came, and they wouldn't have to wait so long for their meals,” said one of the brothers. The other brother agreed and said, “And if we made the customers come to the counter, we wouldn't need any waiters or waitresses. We could also use plastic plates so there wouldn't be any washing-up.”

    　　These were such good ideas that the McDonald brothers used them, and the customers were very pleased. They got their meals very quickly——in less than a minute——and they paid only 15 cents for hamburgers and 10 cents for fries. The first McDonald's restaurant had no seats for customers to sit on. This meant that people had to take their food away, and that no one had to clean up any tables after them.

    　　Then a man called Ray kroc came to the brothers and asked to buy their business. They agreed to sell it to him for $ 27 million. After that, people paid Ray kroc to open their own restaurants using the McDonald's name and menu. Before long, there were McDonald's restaurants all over the United states, and nowadays, they are all over the world-even in China and Russia. The most successful McDonald's business is in Hong Kong of China. The Hong Kong McDonald's sells more hamburgers every day than any other McDonald's anywhere else in the world.

    　　McDonald's restaurants are so successful because children love going to them. They like the food, and they like the toys and games they can get at McDonald's.

    [　　]

    A．they didn't need waiters or waitresses

    B．they could use plastic plates

    C．customers would get their meals quickly

    　　Long, long ago the Mouse King had a beautiful daughter. When she was old enough to be married, he called together the oldest and cleverest mice to talk about it.

    　　“My daughter,” He said, “is far too beautiful to marry just anybody. I have decided to marry her to the greatest thing in the world. Now, who shall it be?”

    　　“The sun,” the first mouse said at once, “is the greatest thing in the world. It shines over the whole world.”

    　　“Well, then, I shall marry her to the sun,” said the Mouse King.

    　　“But,” said the second, “a cloud can cover the sun.”

    　　“Then, she must be married to the cloud.”

    　　“But,” said the third, “the rain breaks through the clouds and puts an end to them.”

    　　“That is true. I must marry her to the rain.”

    　　“But,” cried the fourth, “no matter how hard the rain falls, it cannot wash away the trees.”

    　　“Then she must be the tree's wife.”

    　　“But,” shouted the fifth, “a strong wind can blow down the trees.”

    　　“Very true. Then the wind must be her husband.”

    　　“But,” remembered the sixth, “no matter how hard the wind blows, it cannot blow away the earth.”

    　　“Then I must marry her to the earth.”

    　　“But,” called out the seventh, “the earth is covered by the wooden floors of men's houses.”

    　　“Then she shall marry the wooden floor at once.”

    　　“But,” the last said slowly, “no matter how strong the wooden floor is, a mouse can bite his way through it.”

    　　“It is clear that a mouse is the greatest thing in the world,” the happy Mouse King said, with a smile on his face.

    　　And that was why the Mouse King's daughter married a mouse at last.
