Big macs. Nacho-Cheese Chalupas. Subway subs. Rob Borucki adores them all. The 37-year old indulges in fast-food fare at least five times a week. A really good day for Borucki? When Wienerschnitzel, a West Coast hot-dog chain he grew up with, recently opened just a few blocks from his Tempe Arizona office and he got to enjoy with his fellow sausage enthusiasts. "I was so excited" says the Internet project manager, who runs a fast-food fan Web site. "And so was everyone there."
In fast-food terms, Borucki is called a "heavy user," even though he is quite slender. Loosely defined as the 20 percent of fast-food eaters who account for 60 percent of all fast-food sales, a typical heavy user is male, in his 20s or 30s and extremely loyal to the burgers and fries he loves, lately, heavies are feeling under siege as fast-food chains have come under attack. Obese diners are suing companies like McDonald’s for allegedly contributing to their weight problems, And the endless flood of studies detailing the horrors of obesity provide plenty of ammo for the chatter, types who want heavy users to change their ways.
Heavy users like Borucki insist they don’t need saving, protesting that they are far from the use less fatties anti-fast-food activists make them out to be. For his part, Borucki is a moderate exerciser. And he’ll occasionally substitute a side salad for his regular fries. Indeed, in a recent study of restaurant-goers by the research firm Technomic, 90 percent said they had concerns about obesity, and 50 percent said they’d changed their eating habits in the past year as a result. Fast-food companies have noticed. You can give your waistline a break today with a McDonald’s fruit-and-walnut salad or skip the flame-broiled meat and have a Burger King Fire-Grilled salad with shrimp instead. The healthy approach is working: sales are expected to increase by as much as 4 percent this year.
Heavy users are adapting—in their own way. They’re eating Chicken Whoppers as well as the real thing and cutting back on anything that has the word "fried" in its name. McDonald’s dropped its Super Size portions, apparently because customers stopped ordering the gigantic servings. "But the Ouarter Pounder with Cheese or the Big Mac—those items will not be touched," says Technomic’s Dennis Lombardi.
Jeremy Hageman can take some comfort in that. The 26-year-old Web designer hits the gym three times a week so that he can indulge in as much fast food as he likes. "I like things that taste good," Hageman says. He came up with a plan: eat more Taco Bell. "For some reason," he says, "it doesn’t seem as bad."
选项
A、he can eat sausage of Wienerschnitzel.
B、to eat fast-food like Big macs or Subway subs.
C、a new fast-food chain restaurant opened nearby.
D、to eat fast-food with his fellow friends.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。由题干中的A really good day for Rob Borucki定位至首段问号处。首先从该段前几句可知:Borucki喜欢各种各样的快餐。在提问之后,作者给出答案:一家西海岸热狗连锁店最近在他的办公室附近开业了,他感到非常兴奋。倒数第三句提到Wienerschnitzel和店里的香肠,但段中表明的是Borucki因为该连锁店开业而感到兴奋,并未特别指明兴奋的原因;开篇就提到了巨无霸和赛百味这些快餐店,这是出现在A really good day for Borucki?之前的内容,不是问题的答案;倒数第三句指出he got to enjoy with his fellow sausage enthusiasts,此处是与他一样喜欢香肠的人,不是他的朋友们。
