Shake Shack is a new kind of restaurant becoming more popular in the US. The restaurants' dishes are not "fast food". They are known as "fast casual".
Observers say Americans want more choices and fresh food when choosing where and what to eat. This trend is one reason why the fast food restaurant McDonald's has struggled financially. In the last quarter of 2014, McDonald's net in?come dropped by about $ 300 million. 丁he January earnings report brought more bad news. Worldwide sales dropped for the eighth month in a row and even more than expected. While McDonald's is struggling to get its customers back. Shake Shack is doing well in making money. The New York-based burger chain had a very successful IPO, or initial public offering, of shares at the end of January. On its first day of trading, Shake Shack went from $ 21 a share to just under $ 46 a share. Being part of the "fast casual" trend has helped Shake Shack. Other fast casual restaurants in the US include Chipotle and Panera.
Bonnie Riggs, a restaurant expert with NPD has studied Americans' restaurant habits for almost 30 years. She says one reason why Americans like fast casual food is that it's new. It is creative, it is something different and people like to try new things. Her study shows Americans made 61 billion visits to restaurants last year. Three out of four visits were to fast food restaurants, like McDonald's. Fast casual is still a small percentage of restaurant visits, but it has developed fast. Just as Ms Riggs says, "It's growing by leaps and bounds , because it meets consumers' needs. They know it's being prepared while they wait and that it's fresh, quality and good-tasting food at reasonable and affordable prices."
Many Americans still like their fast food. They just are not going as often. They are finding other ways to have a meal.
4. What is the trouble with McDonald's?
A. Its share goes down to $ 21.
B. Shake Shack has taken its place.

5. We can learn from Bonnie Riggs that Americans____________ .
A. like to try something new
B. care only about the quality
C. don't like fast food any more
D. pay more restaurant visits to fast casual
6. What does the underlined phrase "by leaps and bounds" in Paragraph 3 mean?

Why do people drink too much, eat too much ,smoke cigarettes or take drugs? What's to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these self-destructive(自我毁灭的) acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them.
According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesn't quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it's having will power that really gets you into trouble.
Think back to the time you took your very first sip(啜饮) of beer. Disgusting, wasn't it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette—it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.
Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically, only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to someday develop a "taste" for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.
These bad habits aren't self-control failures—far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control ,but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.
1. What do most people think causes bad behavior?
A. Being forced by others.
B. Enjoying their first experiences.
C. Not having enough will power.
D. Following the examples of their friends.
2.The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove .
A. will power helps develop bad habits sometimes
B. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagers
C. self-control should be developed when one is young
D. everyone can be challenged by different temptations
3.In the last paragraph, the author stresses that .
A. without self-control, no one can succeed
B. applying self-control correctly is important
C. bad habits don't always lead to bad results
D. people can develop wisdom from bad behavior
4. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. My First Sip of Beer B. Do You Have Will Power?
C. Will Power Benefits Us D. Dark Side of Self-control
