Americans are often in a hurry. They rush to work, rush home, and rush through their meals. Workers and students usually have only half hour or an hour for lunch. As a result, a lot of Americans go and eat in fast food restaurants. The service is quick, and the prices are cheap.
What do fast food restaurants serve Of course, many of them have hot dogs, hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, or ice cream. But other fast food restaurants specialize (专门从事) in different foods. Some places serve roast beef. Some serve fish and seafood. In fact, you can find popular foreign dishes in fast food restaurants, too. There are Italian restaurants with Italian sausage (香肠) and spaghetti (通心粉). And there are Chinese restaurants with Cantonese (粤式的) or Sichuan foods.

What is the passage mainly about
[A] American fast food restaurants and their advantages.
[B] American fast food restaurants and their disadvantages.
[C] American fast food restaurants, their advantages and disadvantages.
[D] Increasing needs of Americans for fast food.

A lot of fast food restaurants are franchises (产品经销特许权), a very popular form of business in the United States. There are many restaurants in a franchise, and each franchise has a different owner. However, all of the restaurants are under one central management, and the name of the restaurants is the same everywhere in the United States — and in foreign countries, too. This kind of central control guarantees that, for example McDonald’s hamburgers and Kentucky Fried Chicken taste the same everywhere.
In modern American life, fast food restaurants are very important. They provide quick and inexpensive meals for American people in a hurry.

单项选择题

Here in the U. S. a project of moving the government a few hundred miles to the southwest proceeds apace, under the supervision of Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia. Apart from the usual highways and parks, Byrd has taken a special interest in transplanting pieces of federal agencies from metropolitan Washington to his home state.

Strangely, Byrd’s little experiment in de-Washingtonization has become the focus of outrage among the very people who are otherwise most critical of Washington and its ways. To these critics, it is the very symbol of congressional arrogance of power, isolation from reality, contempt for the voters, and so on, and demonstrates the need for term limits if not lynching.

Consider the good-government advantages of (let’s call it) the Byrd Migration. What better way to symbolize an end to the old ways and commitment to reform than physically moving the government What better way to break up old bureaucracies than to uproot and transplant them, files and all

Second, spreading the government around a bit ought to reduce that self-feeding and self regarding Beltway culture that Washington-phobes claim to dislike so much. Of course there is a good deal of hypocrisy in this anti-Washington chatter. Much of it comes from politicians and journalists who have spent most of their adult lives in Washington and wouldn’t care to live anywhere else. They are not rushing to West Virginia themselves, except for the occasional quaint rustic weekend. But they can take comfort that public servants at the Bureau of the Public Debt, at least, have escaped the perils of inside-the-Beltway insularity.

Third, is Senator Byrd’s raw spread-the-wealth philosophy’ completely illegitimate The Federal Government and government-related private enterprises have made metropolitan Washington one of the richest areas of the country. By contrast, West Virginia is the second poorest state, after Mississippi. The entire country’s taxes support the government. Why shouldn’t more of the country get a piece of it As private businesses are discovering, the electronic revolution is making it less and less necessary for work to be centralized at headquarters. There’s no reason the government shouldn’t take more advantage of this trend as well.

It is hardly enough, though, to expel a few thousand midlevel bureaucrats from the alleged Eden inside the Washington Beltway. Really purging the Washington Culture enough to satisfy its noisiest critics will require a mass exodus on the order of what the Khmer Rouge instituted when they took over Phnom Penh in 1975. Until the very members of the TIME Washington bureau itself are traipsing south along 1-95, their word processors strapped to their backs, the nation cannot rest easy. But America’s would-be Khmer Rouge should give Senator Byrd more credit for showing the way.

It can inferred from the text that government bureaus（）

A. have often been the target of criticisms

B. have benefited the poor

C. are an inappropriate topic for discussion

D. are quite contemptible
