问题     去年,美国联邦航空管理局把用来计算飞机载荷的乘客平均体重提高了10磅。因为当时原油价格创下了历史新记录,作为应对措施,很多公司不得不提高机票价格中的燃料费用。
    美国人和欧洲人不断发胖的趋势促使政府发动健康运动,同时人们严厉谴责许多食品公司。麦当劳连锁店在谴责声中受到冲击,因而不得不在最近几个月里修改菜单,增加了一些更有利于健康的食物。这一举动促使麦当劳的盈利增加。然而,据专家预测,人类注定会越来越胖,会对航空公司的利润空间形成不断增加的压力。

选项

答案 Last year, the Federal Aviation Administration increased by ten pounds the average passenger weight they use to calculate aircraft loads. Since then crude oil prices have hit record levels, with many firms responding by raising the fuel surcharge they add to ticket prices. The rising level of obesity in the US and in Europe has prompted government health campaigns and harsh criticism of a number of food firms. Restaurant chain McDonald’s has taken the brunt of the attack and has in recent months reworked its menu to include healthier options. The move has helped lift profits. The prediction by experts, however, is that humans are set to become fatter, putting increasing pressure on airline profit.
