问题     Fast food has grown remarkable, not only in the United States, but also
around the world. Restaurant chains represent a multi-billion-dollars industry        【S1】______
that shows no sigh of slowing down. Innovations for operations and products           【S2】______
have kept the industry growing and, some critics would argue, led to speed up         【S3】______
the pace of contemporary life.
    From its inception, fast food has lived up its name. In the early days of fast    【S4】______
food, as Americans came to depend more on their cars, outlets offered
drive-service, enabled customers to park and eat in their cars. This service          【S5】______
reduced the cost of operating a restaurant and establishing relatively low prices.    【S6】______
    Given the popularity of fast food for lunch and dinner, it was only a matter
of time before marketers and franchisees realized they could expand their line
of production by offering breakfast to hungry people in a hurry.                      【S7】______
    For many people, however, fast food has become symbolic of a fast-pace            【S8】______
lifestyle that is neither natural nor healthy. An organization called Slow Food
was established in Italy in 1986 to oppose fast food and its assembly-line
approach to cooking and eating. The Slow Food manifesto, endorsed in Paris
1989 by delegates from 15 countries, states, "We are slaved by speed and have         【S9】______
all succumbed to the same insidious virus: Fast Live, which disrupts our habits,
pervades the privacy of our homes and forces us to eat Fast Foods." To fight the
negative connotations of fast food, many companies now emphasize on the               【S10】______
word "flesh" in their advertising and use the term "quick service" to describe
their operations.
【S4】
