street. Many of our young people will be only too happy to work for the company. McDonalds makes a promise to the people that work for them. They say,“We value you, your growing skills and your help to the company.”I can see nothing but good if this company comes to build its restaurant in our town.AGAINST BUILDING A MCDONALDSI am very worried about McDonalds building a restaurant in our hometown. We are a small community and we enjoy our local dishes. I am not sure if McDonalds food is as healthy as they say in their advertisements. When scientists look at it carefully, they find high levels of fat, sugar and salt. This is very worrying. Too many young people are getting fat through eating too much fatty food. McDonalds is not giving young people a good idea of what a healthy diet should be. Local Chinese food, on the other hand, is full of fresh vegetables and fresh meat and fish. The food at a McDonalds restaurant is always the same, so I wonder if it is made or brought in from elsewhere. Although it is freshly cooked, it must be less healthy than our own locally grown and cooked Chinese food.I also worry about all those cars bringing people to buy food at McDonalds. First, there would be petrol fumes(气体),which will make our clean air dirty. Second, theres the problem of all those cars that try to park and prevent other cars from moving quickly through our town. Im sure many young people would be happy to work for McDonalds but will they be treated fairly?In American, McDonalds does not allow workers unions to operate in its restaurants and these are people who speak up for the workers. If, as they say, the workers are happy with them ,why should they fear some workers joining a union?So when I consider the food, the cars and the jobs, I think we should not allow McDonalds to build their restaurant in our town.Unit 3the million pound bank noteAct I, Scene 3Narrator: It is the summer of 1903. Two old and wealthy brothers, Roderick an dOliver, have made a bet. Oliver believes that with a million pound bank note a man could survive a month in London. His brother Roderick doubts it. At this moment, they see a penniless young man wandering on the pavement outside their house. It is Henry Adams, an American businessman, who is lost in London and does not know what he should do.Roderick: Young man, would you step inside a moment, please?Henry: Who? Me, sir?Roderick: Yes, you.Oliver: Through the front door on your left.Henry: ( A servant opens a door) Thanks.Servant: Good morning, sir. Would you please come in? Permit me to lead the way, sir.Oliver: (Henry enters)Thank you, James. That will be all.Roderick: How do you do, Mrer?Henry: Adams. Henry Adams.Oliver: Come and sit down, Mr Adams.Henry: Thank you.Roderick: You are an American?Henry: That s right, from San Francisco.Roderick: How well do you know London?Henry: Not at all, its my first trip here.Roderick: I wonder, Mr Adams, if youd mind US asking a few questions.Henry: Not at all. Go right ahead.Roderick: May we ask what youre doing in this country and what your plans are?Henry: Well, I cant say that I have any plans. Im hoping to find work. As a matter of fact, I landed in Britain by accident. Oliver: How is that possible?Henry: Well, you see, back home I had my own boat. About a month ago, I was sailing out of the bay ( his eyes stare at what is left of the brothers dinner on table.)Oliver: Well, go on.Henry: Oh, yes. Well, towards nightfall I found myself carried out to sea by a strong wind. It was all my fault. It didnt know whether I could survive until morning. The next morning Id just about given myself up for lsot when I was spotted by a ship.Oliver: And it was the ship that brought you to England.Henry: Yes. The fact is that I earned my passage by working as an unpaid hand, which accounts for my appearance. I went to the American embassy to seek help, but ( The brothers smile at each other.)Roderick: Well, you mustnt worry about that. Its an advantage.Henry: Im afraid I dont quite follow you, sir.Roderick: Tell us, Mr Adams, what sort of work did you do in America.Henry: I worked for a mining comapany. Could you offer me some kine of work here?Roderick: Patience, Mr Adams. If you dont mind, may I ask you how much money you have?Henry: Well, to be honest, I have none.Oliver: (happily) What luck! Brother, what luck! (claps his hands together)Henry: Well, it may seem lucky to you but not to me! On the contrary, in fact. If this is you idea of some knd of joke, I dont think its very funny. ( Henry stands up to leave) Now if youll excuse me, I think Ill be on my way.Roderick: Please dont go, Mr Adams. You mustnt think we dont care about you. Oliver, give him the letter.Oliver: Yes, the letter. (gets it from a desk and gives it to Henry like a gift ) The letter.Henry: (taking it carefully) For me?Roderick: For you. (Henry starts to open it) Oh, no, you mustnt open i
