會考英語閲讀理解訓練題及其答案
Every people uses its own special words to describe things an express ideas. Some of these expressions are commonly used for many years. Others are popular for just a short time. One such American expression is “ Wheres the beef?” It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be. In the early 1960s, “Wheres the beef” was one of the most popular expressions in the United States. It seemed as if everyone was using it all the time.
Beef, of course, is the meat from a cow, and probably no food is more poplar in America than the hamburger mad from beef. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray Kroc began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price. Kroc called his restaurant “ McDonalds. Kroc cooked hamburgers quickly so people in a hurry could buy and eat hem without waiting. By the end of the 1960s the McDonalds Company was selling hamburgers in hundreds of restaurants from California to Maine. Not surprisingly, Ray Kroc became one of the riches businessmen in America.
Other business people watched his success. Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company, called: Wendys” began to compete with McDonalds Wendys said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonalds or anyone elses. The Wendys company created the expression” Wheres the beef?” to make people believe that Wendys hamburgers were the biggest. It produced a television advertisement to sell this idea. The Wendys television advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers. The bread that covered the meat was very big, but in side there was only a tiny bit of meat. One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef. “Wheres the beef?” she shouted in a funny voice.
